From my standard EE pen

gosh, I sure love those EE and Amerucana pics! My big boy, Peeps, had to be re-homed, as I am not allowed to keep a roo in town, but he would have been gorgeous. . . same coloring as the one of the little girl who recieved her beautiful roo as a gift from a stranger! I have been promised a pullet baby from him, however, so I have that to look forward to. I do have one young Amerucana or EE (not sure which, yet) pullet who is pretty ordinary looking so far. I sure hope she developes a good muff and beard

I love all the different colors but that red roo (you can just see the tail of in the picture) had gotten into the habit of pecking me when I reach in the pen. Have to teach him I am higher on the pecking order than he is before he gets too much bigger.

I have some of those easter egg chickens and they can be deadly to my potted plants. Noticed yours do the same. I love for my chickens to free range but they always seem to come on my patio even though they have 5 acres to pick on, does anyone know why they seem to find themselves 1/2 ac away from the coops to my patio to eat my plants

Is an EE different from what I know of as an Ameraucana or Araucana?

An EE is an Aracana, EE is just thier 'nick name'
Has any one had a hen who's lower abdomen was TOTALY huge and filled with some kind of liquid and like, she was dragging her butt around like it was heavy? Me and my mom (who's going to be an RN nurse in march) tried to use a syringe and stuff to get the water out but her skin was to thick! HELP!

Ameraucanas and Araucanas are 2 different breeds with the Araucanas being rumpless.
What the hatcheries sell and call Ameraucanas are really EEs. If you want true Ameraucanas you need to check around for an independent breeder who has them.

WOW!! Frozen feathers! The violet coloring on that birds face is FANTASTIC! Is that just my pixels dancing or are those feathers really violet purple?! I want that. Nice bird.

OK, We fixed my EE! She had heart failure-we got rid of that by feeding her egg whites-NOT yolks!
