Looks like a purebred. I lost ALL of my purebred Ameraucanas this weekend... all I have left are some chicks...who's parentage at this point is questionable.
One of my wheatie girls is the loudest of loud. She likes to make noise like she's in the jungle and wants everyone to know she's there!
On an awesome note, I saw my roo on top of one of my laying wheaten girls. Time to get out the incubator!

The w/bw eggs I bought from WMR are on their way! And one of the BW roo daddy's is Geoffrey's son.
They'll go into the bator on Wednesday for a Feb. 1st hatch. Can't wait...
I also have some pures from my coop that I'll add in (before my coop became rooless.)
