Getting a Ameraucana Roo is going to be your best option. Try to make sure it is a pure breed if you want the best chance of having the colored eggs. From what I understand most of the Ameraucana chicks sold from the hatcherys are not pure breed so I would ask around on here if anybody from your area has one.

Where are you? Someone close by may have an extra roo.
