Where can you find pure breed ameraucanas not easter eggers?

We would like to find someone who has real ameraucanas for sale. Anyone have any points of contact for this breed? We live in Kentucky (Louisville). Thanks!

Here is the breeders directory from the Ameraucana Breeder's Club. Many of them will ship chicks or adults.

Meyer Hatchery breeds Blue Ameraucanas. Just be prepared to pay five times as much as you would for their Easter Eggers.

Myers is out of females right now they only have males. I ordered one from mypetchicken.com yesterday they have some set to ship the 28th. Although I've read on here they get their chicks from Myers...

That's interesting as it was also my understanding that Mypetchicken gets most of its chicks from Meyer, including their Ameraucanas. I wonder where they are getting these from?

I did a little digging since I was interested too & it seems they do get their chicks from Myers BUT Myers has a separate pool for MPC so if you order directly from Myers it would get pulled,basically, from a different section than if you purchased from MPC

I heard MPC Ameraucanas are not true Ameraucanas but easter eggers... is this incorrect?

MyPetChicken has both. And they are marketed separately.
