Medicine Man- Great pictures. Hopefully mine will lay an egg like that.

Punky roo- I am green with envy! That is adorable! Where did you get it? Or what is it's parents?

I just got 12 chicks Sunday from a local feed store. 3 of which they called Ameraucana. They came from Ideal, and I read Ideal's description of Ameraucana, and it said something like 'also called Easter Eggers'. So, do I assume they are EE and not a straight Ameraucana? They have beautiful coloring, each one a bit different, and the coloring of their wings is very pretty. They also seem to be the heartiest of the 12. Are EE as a breed typically larger as chicks than others? The others are RIR, BR, BA and BSL.

 

[Medicine Man]

Yes as chicks they are typically larger and more vigorous. Smaller as adults.

(better chickens in general)

Here is one of my EE roos, so hard to get a decent photo of them! He is about 7mo old. I love the pattern combos that show up in the EE mixes.

hes a pretty bird.

I forgot I posted that above about the babies being bigger, but I remember my notes they weih about 15 gems more, thats like ~150% a Barred Rock but Barred Rock is a bigger chickens. Strong babies means less mortality.

For those who like larger EE , here's a 9 day old chick that looks like it will have some size .

Papa' a white Ameraucana .

It's mama is one these CX pullets pictured from last summer at 15 weeks .

Will be loading the 'bator Dec 11 [ God willing ] with more Ameraucana x CX eggs [ along with same roos over SS and GLW ] , and hoping this guy , pictured at 6 months , got some EE and Ameraucana fertile . They were seperated 5 weeks ago so the any fertile blue or green egg will be his .

they are mixed color or non standard ameraucanas aka easter eggers. they might be larger as chicks but the ba, br and rir will be bigger when full grown. also the rir will probably turn out to be a production red if you got it from the feed store.
