Here’s my beautiful splash ameraucana named Zoe! She has quickly made me fall in love with the breed and now I want so many more colors!

Yes they are!! I’ve seen people say Ameracaunas are more flighty but mine has been an absolute sweetheart. She’s always below me and I have to be careful where I step! Looking to get wheaten and isabel coloring next!

I got a splash this year, was sweet as can be but ended up being a cockerel so he went to a new home

Oooo, the isabel color is sooo pretty! I know a lady who has beautiful Ameraucanas, including wheatens...when I have the space I am totally getting more haha. Another lady has bantam wheatens...I'm definitely interested in the bantam sizes! I am considering breeding Ameraucanas as my primary standard breed, but my space is limited...so bantams would be easier! Where are you in CA? The lady I got mine from is about an hour from Sacramento and they are just gorgeous birds!

They are such good roosters! So gentle and gorgeous! A girl I met at the county fair did Master Showmanship with a splash cockerel, he was so well behaved! Sorry you had to rehome him! I bought my splash girl as a grown out pullet...so I wouldn't be crushed haha.

I didn't "have" to rehome him, I chose to, we live in the country with a good chunk of property and zero chicken ordinances, but I decided that I didn't want to lose the dynamic I have with my ladies, so I found him a flock of game hens I've been wanting one for the last 2 years, I'll try again in the future.

Ahhh, gotcha! Definitely understand that! I hope you are able to get one in the future!
