Okay so about 2 years ago I bought some 'Ameraucana' chicks from a breeder. I was just starting out, didn't know much about chickens. It was a rooster and a hen. The rooster had Muffs, the hen didn't. The hen laid bright, wonderful blue eggs.
Well after I got on here, and now that I'm more informed I know now that my flock of Ameraucanas are EE's.
Well I was curious one day. On the actual colors of Ameraucanas. So I looked them up. Much to my surprise, both my hen and my rooster are Actual Ameraucana colors!
Sadly I lost the rooster a few months ago. The hen is still one of the farm favorites.
Is it possible that my Supposed EE's are actual Ameraucanas? Or pretty close? I purchased 5 more chicks from the breeder last month, but 2 were lost in a hurricain.
I actually think that the guy has actual Ameraucanas and EE's. So I am getting very close to the actual things. There may be a chance that I may get some full Ameraucanas. I am excited. And I plan on buying up a bunch from him on sunday if he is at the fair again.
I mean, he is selling chicks for $1! And they lay pure blue eggs. So I suppose even if i just get them laying then sell them again. I would make a profit. Anyway. I just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas on if perhaps he could have both real Ameraucanas and EE's. Or I'm just crazy and got lucky with a blue egg laying EE.
