What variety of Ameraucana is this rooster?

[ChickenCrazy8]

Hi I was wondering what variety of Ameraucana this rooster is. Cause on the hatchery website (http://www.performancepoultry.com/orderform/openstore2.php) it just states Ameraucana but not the colour variety.
Thanks in advance,
Zoë

That is what I would call a Silver.

hatchery ones are always ee's as well as tsc and feed stores as they get their chicks from hatcheries. the only way to get true Ameraucana is to find a dedicated breeder

Actually, I know of one "hatchery" that carries true Ameraucana. They actually breed to the standard for show birds but I don't know of them shipping to retail sites. Their chicks are a bit pricier than what most folks would pay at the feed store or pet store but well worth every penny. I'm not familiar with the hatchery the OP posted but it is possible (stretching that quite a bit) that they do have true Ameraucanas but I doubt it. I would think that if they are true Ameraucanas, the hatchery would list the varieites available.
