While this is true, she is actually a pure breed Ameracauna. Fun fact Easter eggers are Araucana or Ameracauna mixed with other breeds to creat a different colored egg. While Ameracauna and Araucana are a pure chicken breed, Easter egger usually refers to all chickens that lay a non white or brown egg.
Yes I know I’m not knew to raising chicks. This is what I have found that works well for me and the chicks are never stressed out, hot or cold this keeps the temp comfortable especially in a plastic container that doesn’t let the heat escape like a traditional wood and wire brooder or outdoor coop brooder. If you notice with a momma hen, the chicks aren’t always under the hen in a temperature regulated box, a hen doesn’t have a thermometer to tell her what temp she needs to be at for her babies, they watch the behavior of the chicks to see when she needs to call them under her. I’ve found that most of the time when my hens raise their own, the chicks hardly ever spend time under the mom not even at night.
No she isn’t a whiting true blue or true green, those two breeds are fairly new within the last three or four years.
Trust me. I’m definitely an expert on this. I actually have a detailed thread about it if you would like to read it.
Your little chickie is not a pure color. Her feet also have peachy-yellow bottoms.
She also has no muffs to speak of.
If you bought her from Mcmurray, under the name Ameraucana, she’s an EE. They notoriously both sell pure Ameraucanas (only in specific colors for a lot of money) and also keep up the hype that their EEs are Ameraucanas.
Easter Eggers are often sold as Ameraucanas because it’s easy to pas them off as such. They typically have pea combs, dark legs, poofy faces, and lay colored eggs. It’s mostly about them colored eggs anyways.
She’s absolutely adorable and is definitely a colored Egger. Whether she’s an EE or a Whiting True Blue/Green, I’m not sure.
Oh, I thought you said those were I your order. I was mistake .
I don’t change the temp in the room it’s always in the high 70s trust me it’s my bed room and very uncomfortable to try and sleep in at night. I don’t have control over the thermostat my grandpa does and if I even try to change the ac temp for even an hour I get screamed at the next day for it.
They were in my order but they were in the group that died.
Did you have your chicks split up?
