ameracauna cross

I have a chicken who keeps pacing in her run to her coop. when she is in her coop she is scratching all of the bedding out of her nesting box like she is mad that I put it there. But it’s to the point where she is scraping the bottom with her nails and just won’t stop. What in the heck is...

This is Chironamoe (Ch-ron-e-moe), he's a gentleman and is less than one year old. He's very clever, kind and docile, but I don't know what 'breed' his father is. His mother, Patti the Polish is definitely showing with his crest and comb/wattles, but I don't know who his father is. The two...

:pop :frow:D Hillo, I'm S Raven. I have 4 pullets / cockerels that I don't know the sex of. I'm hoping you fellow chicken fanatics will help me decipher the genders of these lads and ladies. There is multiple breeds in my beautiful collage, and I'm hoping for any suggestions on the full mix...

Hello everyone. Does anyone here know the Easter Egger genetics ,or cross breeds of Ideal poultry? From what I’ve learned so far Easter Eggers are a “mutt” and are not a recognized breed to the APA. They have genetics of the Ameraucana and some other breed. I did reach out to Ideal poultry...

Hi. We have five 11-14 week old chickens in question. I’m really hoping to be able to keep at least a few but it’s seeming like many of them are turning out to be cockerels… These are the chickens I’d like to get opinions on: 1. Brahma 2. Smaller white silkie 3. Black silkie. Second white...

I have white Ameraucana roo. He is a recessive white from blacks. I've put him black Amer's. Wondering if you can get splash colors from this or if they will breed back to black.

I have a Blue Ameraucana rooster, 1 Blue Ameraucana hen, and 2 EE hens. Both EE hens are laying colored eggs; one lays an almost identical blue to my Ameraucana hen, one lays a nice minty green. I'm wanting to breed my roo to these 3 ladies to produce more colorful egg layers but would the...

So I adopted 3 hens from a co worker. She said they were Ameracauna. One of them lays blue color eggs and I think the other 2 lay greenish/tan eggs. Could they actually be EE? Or mixes? Something else? I guess the lavender one started out as a beautiful lavender color and now looks more like a...

My 24/25 week old lavender orpington named Dori and suspected ameracauna mix named Lexi started laying about 3 weeks ago. We have 4 nest boxes in our coop and after locking them in the coop and run for 2 days when they first started, they’ve finally figured out to lay in them… or have they...

I’m planning on hatching out some chicks that are out of a white Ameraucana and two wheaten Ameraucanas, they are being covered by a buff Orpington rooster. What would eggs look like and has anyone tried this combo and have pictures of grow outs? Thanks in advance!

Over the summer some of our ISA Brown hens went broody unexpectedly. We have a pure-bred Ameraucana rooster with them so we decided to let the ladies try to hatch some chicks. We had 2 eggs successfully hatch, but sadly only one chick made it to adulthood. She just laid her first egg and it came...

I have a Barred Ameraucana Cross Rooster, (I'm making this post late at night and don't have a picture so I looked it up) -- which this image is from cackle hatchery and it's classifying this as a Black Sex Link. My two hens are Ameraucana purebreds and I wondered what I'd get if I crossed them...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? As the ones that feed/water/care for them? Yes. New to chickens. However, my parents currently have lots and have for a few years, and we raised a few when I was 5 or 6 years old. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We...

I’m wondering what she is mixed with. She was sold as an “Americana” which I now know thanks to the BYC Community means nothing and is just a marketing ploy by hatcheries capitalizing on the similarity to the Ameraucana name. She’s an Easter egger and I’m totally ok with that! She’s from...

Help me ID this breed please. Easter egger mix?

Can pure Ameraucana chicks have the wild type pattern? I'm trying to mess around with auto-sexing and blue egg genes and would need a bird that lays blue eggs and has the wild type pattern when it is a chick.and if an Ameraucana chick does have the wild type pattern could it still have...

I have two 9.5 week old chickens that hatched out of dark chocolate colored eggs. It was labeled as a Lavender Maran, but I am wondering if this is what a lavender maran looks like? It is quite a bit darker than my Lavender Orpingtons. They both have single combs, not developed or colored at...

I recently acquired what the well respected NPIP breeder told me was a purebred Buff Ameracauna pullet. She’s about 12 weeks old. It was only after reading up on Ameracaunas on BYC that I learned that she should have dark slate legs. Instead she has what I would describe as pale blue legs -...

Hi. I recently bought an Olive Egger pullet from a well-respected, NPIP breeder. She’s a beautiful blue pullet with dark slate legs. She’s a cross between an Ameracauna mother and a Black Copper Marans father. I am noticing in reading about Olive Eggers that they normally have feathered legs...
