What do you call this color pattern?\

This is Paige, our new Amerucana. She's munching on some bread.

She has the puffy feathers around her ears and throat, isn't that a marker for Amerucana?

Hatcherys only sell EEs, they sell them as 'Ameraucanas' or 'araucana' but they are not pure, they are mutts with the green egg gene

I would also be interested to know what that color is called. I have a couple of EE that same color. Love my EE girls!

 

[chickenlover54]

I'm not sure it actually has a 'name'

Nice Looking Bird.

To clarify, your "EE" COULD be an Ameraucana, just a mix of 2 different colors. And EE can be anything that lays an unusual color of egg. (And sometimes not even that...

)



If I had to guess a color, I would say that it is CLOSEST to a Buff Columbian, but that is not an APA accepted color of Ameraucana. (It isnt exactly a Buff Columbian, but it is sort of close.

.)

The coloring looks all most like a Buff Columbian pattern..

I know the vet. purchased her from an on-line hatchery as a chick. It's nice to know she has some sort of name to her pattern.
