The eggs up for auction are Hatchery Americanas, not Ameraucanas. They are not an APA accepted breed, they cannot be considered "purebred" by any stretch of imagination as they are a cross mix from the hatcheries, and they are called Easter Eggers on this site. The outside world may know them by the name Americanas but we on this site know differently. They do not have "tufts" (those are by the ears) and apparently some of your birds do not have beards and muffs either.

If you wish to sell your eggs on BYC I would suggest re-naming the auction for what we know them on here as - and that is Easter Eggers.

For further research I suggest you check out the Ameraucana Breeder's Club http://www.ameraucana.org and a few threads on this site: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...-discussed-apa-non-standard-and-project-birds https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...for-posting-pictures-and-discussing-our-birds and https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/273489/the-ee-braggers-thread

Perhaps now you will understand the reaction your auction has generated. I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you just do not understand the difference and can be educated, as I have been.

Going with these


#1
1 Dozen Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks
Starting bid is $15 and shipping is $15

#2
1 Dozen Ameraucans
A mix of eggs from my BBS pen and my Lavender pen
Starting bid is $15 and shipping is $15

#3
6 Bantam AMs.
Black roo over Chocolate and Lavender hens
Starting bid is $18 and shipping will be $15, because I want to make sure these suckers are carefully packed.

#4
1 Dozen OEGB
RBB roo over RRB, Self Blue and Black hens.
Starting bid is $10 and shipping is $15


I package the way I've had the best results and eggs are fresh. I can't guarantee your hatch due to PO handling and variables during incubation.


Auction ends August 1st at 4:20 PM PST

There's molting and broodiness going on out there, so I went with the eggs I'm collection enough of for now.


Was wondering if anyone is interested in Silkied Ameraucanas. Would be small number of eggs, but if there's an interest I'll list them.

I haven't had an egg break yet! These are great hatchers. I've hatched about 50 in the past month and I am done for the year. Fertility has been 90 to 100% and hatch rate about 80 to 90% here at the farm. They're beautiful, fluffy, and easy to look at. Great layers and don't mind being around children.

Up for 24-Hour-Auction!! 12+ French Black Copper Marans! Bid start at $8 Shipping/packaging $15 Starts now and ends at 6pm July 31st PST Will ship Monday/Tuesdays only Feathered shanks and outter toe, copper around the neck, perfect green/purple sheen and beautiful body shape, so far heat tolerant. These are a combo of reg and pullet eggs. Some just started laying about 3 weeks ago. They hatched in January and I can't believe they've started laying already! Egg color is beautiful and fertility has been tested and proven. If anyone is interested in trying them out? I hate to eat them, but no more hatching for me this year! I wrap each egg in bubble wrap and nestle them snugly and securely. I haven't had an egg break yet! Here is a pic of color next to some regular brown and a light brown egg.

1 1/2 hours left no bids yet!

24 hr AUCTION: starts now/ends @ 12.28am 8/1 Starting bid is $5.00, + $20.00 shipping 12+Americauna Eggs These are not rumples-but most have tufts others don't. These birds are laying machines! I'm done with hatching for much for the year-I want to raise what I have now and then start firing it up after I weed out what I want for breeders and my extra roosters. These are fed all organic feeds + extras. They have a super sweet disposition, easy to handle not super flighty. They could be considered for a dual purpose. The roosters get pretty big with lots of beautiful color. All the kids just love the egg color-everyone wants some! one of my many chicks that I've hatched. just an example of my eggs...picture doesn't do these beauties justice! I package very well-I've shipped many eggs this season and I've gotten back wonderful reports on how they arrived and how they hatched. On more than one occasion here at the house I've had 100% hatch rate. BUT I can't guarantee your hatching rate, that is why I ask for more shipping than most other people. I package the very best that I can. I use bubble wrap for each egg, and I nestle them in a nice nest of shredded paper. I will label the box as you wish-just let me know what you prefer. I take paypal-I will send the eggs as soon as payment clears..I will send plenty of extras as the hens permit. Happy Bidding!!!!!!!!!!!!

. Hi! I notice you joined us on BYC about a week ago. Welcome. I'm newer here too. I notice a couple of things and have questions. It seems from your pictures that your "Americanas" are Easter Eggers. That would mean they are a cross of the Ameraucana breed and another breed or not a recognized color. They also do not breed true each time. Notice the spelling difference, usually hatchery birds, feed store birds, and some who are newer to chickens erroneously feel they have Pure bred Ameraucanas. Where did your birds come from? You can find other threads for Americaunas/Easter Eggers by doing a search. You can also find out about the breed of Ameraucanas as well and the differences between the two. Again, welcome to BYC! There is so much to learn and there are many helpful people here.

Based on the posting of adult birds that was originally posted by Arkansas81 (they then edited their post and removed them but was quoted prior to the edit), TripleKFarm and Arkansas81 are the same person? If so, Arkansas81 is not new to the forums.
This all maybe irrelevant but is it common for people to have and use 2 usernames? It sends red flags for me, especially after they delete the post under the wrong username? Most other forums are very against users having multiple usernames.

Sorry, yes was posted to the wrong person but I noticed TripleKs Americana spelling in the ad and looked that they are newer and thought that was who it was.
