Because I’m wanting a blue egg layer, I’ve been researching the Ameraucanas. Apparently a lot of hatcheries & sellers call Easter Eggers “ Americuna.

This may help-

Ameraucanas are not that common and should be purchased from Breeders
Breed info:meets APA's Standard of Perfection for breed and breeds true
Color Varieties:Black, Blue, Blue Wheaten, Brown Red, Buff, Silver, Wheaten, and White
Blue and Black may be bred together as may Blue Wheaten and Wheaten. Breedings not of the same variety could result in a nonstandard color for future breedings despite surface appearances and therefore is not a true Ameraucana if it does not breed true.
Comb- pea
Wattles:none
Ear Tuffs:none
Eye:Reddish Brown
Earlobe:Red
Features:has muffs and a beard
Beak:horn, natural color
Skin:white
Legs:Slate, bottoms are white, black birds can have black
Eggs-pale blue, blue, blue green, and yes, sometimes green


Easter Egg Layer/EE/Americana
Breed info:not a true breed or APA recognized, mixed breed
can have Ameraucana traits but is not an Ameraucana b/c to be so it must be a recognized variety from standardized color varieties and breed true
EE's are common, from mixed breeding with Ameraucanas and Araucanas and hatcheries
Comb:any-Buttercup, Cushion, Pea, Rose, Single, Strawberry, V-Shaped
Wattles-possible
Ear Tuffs-possible
Eye:any
Earlobe:any
Features:can have muffs and a beard
Beak:any
Skin:any
Legs:any or green
Eggs:has blue egg gene, eggs are blue, green, olive green, brown & pink.

@Hamiam Thank you for sharing that. I was ignorant that there was such a big difference!

I learned something new

I have one chicken that sounds like a growling dinosaur. Everyone else makes these sweet little burbles, beebles and peeps, and all she does is make this GRRAAAHHHHURRRRRRR noise that sounds like a Trex getting sucker punched mid roar. That's the only noise she makes and she's always got her volume turned up to 11. Her name is Dumpling and she's my favorite anachronistic dinosaur.

exactly the same, sounds like a dinosaur looks like one too

I have a rescue hen she is bantam Cochin frizzle that just started crowing. She is at least 4 years old. Still laying eggs
This is her, I could only get the crow if I left the light off. Lol

Holy crap that scared me! I thought that I didn't have it loud enough because I could barely hear her at first. Then, she crows out of nowhere and I nearly jump out of my skin!

Here is the screaming culprit

Pretty Tiny to make such a loud noise, about the size of an adult hand

Looks like she’s saying, “Go ahead, but let me warn you, I’m a screamer!”

That's what she said!
