Ok. Ranting here. I have to say, I think many folks here may need to look for a reality pill. I remember how THRILLED I was to finally find "Ameraucanas" from a hatchery in Canada. I proudly posted pictures on this very thread never doubting for a minute that what I had were Ameraucanas. It...

So how do you suggest we handle it when someone new arrives and proudly posts pictures of their new "Ameraucana" that we can all see is an Easter Egger? (Which is what happens EVERY time this come up. Because someone sold them an "Amerauacana".) Do we just ignore them and hope they will go away?

So you prefer the off-coloured and hatchery type birds to be called "culls" or "junk" or "garbage" as is done on so many of the other breed threads? For me, I like that we can tell folks what they have is an "Easter Egger" just like Silkie folks label their non-Standard birds as "pet quality"...

Unfortunately, there are always going to be the ones that refuse to be educated no matter how hard we try thus, there will always be Easter Eggers sold as Ameraucanas and the angst will continue.

As has been said before, you and everybody else for that matter, are free to call them whatever you want. However, the Ameraucana Breeders Association is VERY clear on the matter and they use the label "Easter Egger" to describe non-standard, non-project birds. So if you show up on a thread...

Or better yet, they can just go to www.ameraucana.org, the true authority on all things Ameraucana, for all the information they are seeking, just like so many of us before them that have also learned the hard way have done.
