question for you!! Say I have 2 white *ee's* (came from mixed colored birds) and I breed them and hatch 2 eggs....one chick is white and the other mixed color....Do I have pure ameraucanas??? Afterall that is 50% aint it??
You must have a much larger sampling, scientifically speaking, to be able to say a bird breeds true a certain percentage of the time.
Who says you need a larger sampling?? the apa just says breed true 50% of the time...not you have to hatch out 100 eggs and 50 of those have to be white....That is 50% no matter how you want to turn it.... so....That would be breeding true 50% of the time!! Are they pure ameraucanas.... YEP they are!

I agree, think you need at least 3 figures to get an accurate assessment. I am sure if you take 2 white *ee's* and breed them and cull carefully for the standard you may, after many years work, end up with ameraucana. I am going to be working on some new color ameraucana and I will sell them as EE's until I get them to breed true(heck of a lot better than 50%). When I accomplish getting them to breed true, if they meet the standard and I can get people interested, I will say unrecognized color ameraucana while trying to get it recognized. I have EE's I just hatched, some mixed color ameraucana and some ameraucana over andalusian/australorp....they all hatched with muffs/beard, pea comb and green legs(anadusian cross). I hatched those for my daughter because our dogs ate one of her hens.
so to the OP, I consider any chicken that has a pea comb and a muff/beard a lays an off color(non standard brown/white) egg an EE, but that's just my opinion
when you start losing those indentifying marks it gets fuzzy for me....

No, they cant be true Ameraucanas if the bloodline has been mixed with any other breed. If they are just mixed color, I'd say it would be awhile before the birds got to the point of SQ. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you called them EEs.

Just wanted to add....I am not mad at anyone here and hate that you are mad at me...I am only stating my opinion....im really sorry you dont like it
I will from now on call my *EE's* ameraucanas...afterall they DO breed true 50 % of the time.......

I call then EE cause everyone on here goes crazy if you say ameraucana...they did NOT come from a hatchery...camr from a local breeder... so they are non show ameraucanas....they are just not the right color... some of them
