Ameraucana Org.

This is an Ameraucana rooster, just think I maybe the proud owner of 10 of these beauties.

4 years ago when I first stumbled on to the fact that some chickens that started out of Chile and were called Aurcana laid blue eggs I tried to get information about the breed Ameraucana chickens that were different than Araucana in that Araucana had no tail and had feathers sprouting from the side of their heads and the hens lay blue colored eggs. The Ameraucana chicken sold by our hatcheries had a tail and a beard under the beak and lay blue/green eggs often called Easter eggers.

Now there is an Ameraucana club and certain people advertising on the web that they have the real Ameracuana chickens and the hatcheries are selling counterfeits Easter egger chickens. They are asking several dollars for their chickens eggs to be sent thro' the mail for hatching. You also can find people selling all sorts of chicken breeds as the REAL breed and they will tell you the hatchery chickens are inferior to the REAL chickens which they have and they are willing to sell you eggs so you can hatch your own REAL chicken breeds.

I think that the whole think is a crock and people are trying to make money from people who are gullible and will buy anything. I have actually seen advertisements which says the hatcheries chickens are breed to lay more eggs and so that makes hatcheries chicks of poor quality. guess what, I want my chickens to lay lots of eggs that is the reason for having chickens.

I am providing the link in the title to the Ameraucana club in my title in case you want to look.

Now if I have some pullets in my feed store chickens next year I can try selling REAL Ameraucana chicken eggs for a high price.

We are getting sleet here and have been getting ice in some form since last evening.
