Here are a few photos of a splash wheaten cockerel and pullet. Not the best photos, but perhaps they will be of help.

If the parents are both lavenders they should produce 100% lavender. Lavender is a recessive gene and requires two copies of the gene to produce lavender birds. Some people use black ameraucanas in their lavender programs to improve type. That would involve created blacks split to lavender...

Yes, Wheaten x wheaten produces 100% wheaten.

You're welcome! Just as a means to be helpful, she may not have necessarily shipped infertile eggs...I have had several conversations with a local PO worker that has chickens and used to ship hatching eggs...she has said in the past that if eggs are ever x-rayed, they will likely not develop at...

I have not purchased hatching eggs from Peggy, but she seems like she would be a reliable seller to me. Apparently she puts a lot of work into her birds, and has been showing them successfully for a few years. I think you are on the right track. Did you look through the list of breeders on the...

Thanks for the shout out. I am sold out on all of my Ameraucana varieties via preorders. I'm hatching weekly and am working through the preorder list right now. 8 weeks into the season with 10 weeks to go! You should check with Paul, Sid! I noticed via the ABC forum that he added on a few...

Generally speaking, the best blacks are typically gold based, and the best blues/splashes are typically silver based. That's why many breeders keep their blacks and blues/splashes in separate pens.

You can read more about the breed history here: http://ameraucanabreedersclub.org/history.html The ABC was established in 1978. I am a member of the ABC and am currently the newsletter editor. Members receive a quarterly newsletter that is packed with useful breeding information, as well as a...

You can order a color wheel at www.ameraucanabreedersclub.org I clicked your profile and checked the photos of the eggs you posted. They look about right color wise. Here are a few examples of what I typically see. The hens have been laying for a few months now so egg color has faded some...

Well, you know what they say.....the more pens the merrier ;) Just don't ask my husband. He might disagree....he built 6 new pens during the off season, and is putting up 2 more currently. Lol

It's been a while since I have posted! I have been busy taking care of the farm and brooding chicks. We enjoyed showing our birds in the fall and winter months and took home several best of breed, best of variety, and champion AOSB awards. We also had a blue wheaten pullet that won reserve...

Thanks Jean and Susan!

For those that show, what all do you vaccinate your birds for? I have good biosecurity measures in place at the farm, but I plan to show more this year, and I want to do what I can to keep everyone healthy at shows.

It was so nice to meet you Susan! Your birds were so pretty! The blacks had such a beautiful green sheen and had such good type/size. That cockerel was SO handsome! Send him to me!

We enjoyed showing birds at the Dixie Classic today! We took home Reserve breed with a Blue Wheaten hen, and BV with a white hen, self blue hen, and wheaten hen. Not the best photos but these will do! It was a lot of fun!!!

Thanks everyone!

We enjoyed showing Ameraucanas at the David Crockett Classic double show today. We took home reserve show champion large fowl in the first show with one of our hens, and reserve show champion large fowl in the second show with one of our pullets. It was a lot of fun!

Welcome to BYC! I raise a few color varieties of Ameraucanas as well as Silver Laced Orpingtons. I can attest to the fact that they are both sweet, docile breeds. I enjoy having both of them. I refer to the Orpingtons as gentle giants, and the Ameraucanas are very friendly...several of them will...

So sorry for your loss. I hope the remaining birds fully recover.
