Really? He's the only one that will let me get within 5 feet of him. Yes.... the chickens are interesting, haha

Yes... yes they are, lol, but so are my adults, so nothing changed The only one who isn't a complete spaz is my rooster.

Thanks

How many birds in each pen? Sorry for all the questions. Hahaha, Yeah, I think it's easy to take care of them inside, but I'm the only one who thinks that!

Your pens are amazing! what are the dimensions? Mine are kinda a mishmash, as I never thought I would get this addicted to chickens that I would start breeding! My dream is to one day buy a commercial poultry building, and to convert it into breeding pens. One day...

There's a really good chance that they aren't in there all the time, none of the hens have bald spots, or wear and tear on their backs, which would happen if it was only a hen and rooster together. They are beautiful birds...

Mine started at 4-5 weeks.

Their comb really starts changing at this age, as well as size / personality. At three weeks they comb develops into the three rows, I DID have ONE hen who had three rows, but they were always " messy" and didn't grow. The roosters don't seem to get " cocky " until later on, and my recent one is...

I can always tell by 3 weeks by their comb. When they are super little, they don't really have a distinctive comb, and just a wide area doesn't mean it's a rooster.

Have one like that, the blue gene just skipped her.

Yes, they can have a genetic slip up, as I call it, and the blue egg gene miss them...

I believe you should get a black split for white, unless it's a dominate white, then you would get first generation paints.

looks like a blue wheaten ameraucana cockerel.

I'll still hatch the eggs next year, as I'm curious of what the offspring will be. It really doesn't matter if they're none standard ameraucanas, since they were probably going into a pen with my EEs.

Would these be considered paints? They are white with black spots, and the odd brown feather on the roosters. If it helps, the person I got them from has, wheaten, black, and lavender roosters, and wheaten, black, white, lavender, and silver hens. All pure ameraucanas

Just wondering, what would you call a paint ameraucana?

This is a controversial statement. Some say they are EEs, some say they are ameraucanas. I personally see them as a none standard ameraucana, since ALL their genetics are pure.

Slate is the same as blue. Some of the lighter patterns ( wheatens, whites ) are born with white legs ( not yellow ) and the blue pigment comes as the get older.

They are always blue, not green. The lighting may have something to do with it.

The blue is defiantly a pullet, I don't see anything on the lavender that screams roo, but would keep an eye on it.
