Which Hatchery Sells Quality And Pure Ameraucanas?

[Brahma Chicken5000]

I’m getting 6 female chicks most likely in April. I want a mixed egg basket so I’m getting a Golden Campine pullet for white eggs, a Black Copper Marans pullet for dark chocolate eggs, a salmon Faverolles pullet and a buff brahma pullet for pinkish eggs, a Dominique pullet for brown eggs, and an Ameraucana pullet for blue eggs. I want a pure Ameraucana not an Easter Egger or a mix. I looked at mypetchicken and they have blue/black/splash Ameraucanas, but they’re a bit pricey. I looked at some other hatcheries and I don’t know if their Ameraucanas are good quality and pure. Does anyone know of a hatchery that sells quality and pure Ameraucanas for a reasonable price? I may just end up ordering the other 5 chicks from mypetchicken and source an Ameraucana pullet from my chicken contact. If I choose to source from my chicken contact how can I be sure that I am getting a pure Ameraucana pullet and not an Easter Egger or a mix? Thanks in advance for the replies.

@TexasSam is very knowledgeable about the Ameraucana breed. I know he has contacts in Texas. I'll tag him & maybe he can help advise you. Good luck!

Meyer sells blue Ameraucanas, but as for quality, I don't know.

Cackle also sells true ameraucana. The first way to tell that you are buying true ameraucana is they specify color. Blue, black and splash are the most widely available commercially. Second is price. $15-20 is normal. If the chick is $4, she's an EE.
You can also look up the 2 breed groups for breeders in your area. I see them locally on CL from reputable breeders but more often than not they are mislabled EEs.

How should I go about finding local breeders? I look on my local craigslist every so often and I haven’t found any breeders.

There was a breeder by the name of John that used to sell quality chicks but I don't remember his last name and I don't know if he's still breeding them. He also bred Chanteclers.

Ameraucana breeders club and ameraucana alliance both have a breeders section on their websites. It lists colors they breed and birds they will sell.
