I have looked at Ameraucana but would rather have true Araucana. I've heard Ameraucana's can be more aggressive then Araucana's. I have 2 pygmy goats who are scared to death of the current chickens... so much so that we have named them Fright ( the flighty leghorn hen) and Terror (the buff orpington roo) So I need really calm, friendly, easily handled, bears confinement well and quiet breed so my neighbors continue to not care if I have chickens. (I live in a great neighborhood that tries to work together rather then ignore each other.) Our other requirements were that the breed was not a mass produced breed, but a old heritage breed (read hard to get) so we could help preserve a breed as well as be able to provide others with hatching eggs and or chicks. My mom loves to incubate eggs and help the chicks grow so in a way hatching and raising chicks from a small flock would be perfect.
Btw the leghorn and buff orpington roo (who was supposed to be a hen) were given to me as the owner could not keep them and well i really like eggs to eat. But they will not be part of my permanent flock since I would like to keep a pure single breed flock.
So if anyone is looking for a good looking Buff Orpington Roo send me a message
