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

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:

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.
