the chicks, that i hatched out this summer were from my 2 ameraucanas/EE,the hens all have slate blue legs,1 is a buff,the other is a brown and the others look like their dad.i do have a mixed flock,but ,i dont let the hens hatch out their eggs,only the ones that i thought were ameraucanas.do any of you have  pure ameraucanas,that you can post, or send to me,which ever is easier at gcerillo@hvc.rr.com .maybe later this week i can take pics of them with the legs and body,so you can all see them better.thanks

Check out the Photo pages of large fowl and bantams on our website.  Just click on the link to the ABC Home Page and surf thru the photo pages.
I would also suggest reading the breed and club History that is posted on our club\'s website.  
Also, check our the pictures on the ABC Sharing Place site: http://groups.msn.com/ABCShareingPlace/shoebox.msnw

They look a lot like the first EE I ever had. I still own some for layers. I find they are friendly, healthy and very hardy. Not to mention the green eggs are a fav with my kids...They are very pretty!

Guest:
how can you tell by just looking at their faces,i still see no difference,in the pics i have seen before of ameraucanas.please let me know.

Mike Gilbert:
One of the topics of discussion at our national show this weekend is whether we want an \"official\" definition of Ameraucana versus easter egger.    In my mind, an Ameraucana is a chicken that will breed predictably true to recognized colors and patterns.   There are other breed characteristics as well, notably white skin, slate legs, pea combs, red ear lobes, a certain shape and size, etc.    Easter eggers are of mixed parentage and throw various mixed colors and shapes and therefore are not a true breed.   Having said all that, easter eggers were used in the making of the Ameraucana breed and remain quite popular with backyard poultry keepers.
