[Adolfo Sanchez]

This Early Summer, me and my girl got these Chickens, three of them are Ameraucanas the other two, I don't know what they are but one of them is have the size than the Ameraucanas, the other one is even smaller! Poor things are the ugliest things I've ever seen, I'm just curious as to what they are. Any One?

I thought the Dark Cornish is supposed to be a large bird, these are tiny.

 

[joycespell]

or they could be golden laced cornish i have a friend who owns alot of them and that is exactly what they look like as chicks.

Bantam Cornish are pretty popular, hatcheries like Ideal carry them.

Bantam dark Cornish.

X2 and the otheres in the pics are easter eggers not ameraucanas. Hatcheries and farm stores mislabel them a lot

Appear to be Cornish. If they are small, they are bantam Cornish. As for your Ameraucanas, they are actually Easter Eggers. Easter Eggers are often mistakenly called "Americanas" or "Araucana/Ameraucanas" by hatcheries. Generally, if you don't get Ameraucanas from a breeder, they are Easter Eggers. True Ameraucanas only come in about six different color patterns, have certain characteristics, and lay blue eggs.

They come in 8 accepted varities (and some people are woking on some color projects)
