Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[cottagegarden]

I thought the term "EASTER EGGER" was in referance to the color of egg the bird layed. I do use the term, but only in regards to the egg color. NOT the birds themselves.

Same goes for OLIVE EGGER, RAINBOW LAYERS. I would rather use those terms as to call them a cull, trash, or junk.

Easter Egger really is the perfect name for a chicken that produces green, pink, brown, and blue eggs that possesses any color plumage...

Therefore all chickens are Easter Eggers.
Just kidding --- but that is a broad description.

I live less than an hour from you and I breed and show white, blue, and black Ameraucanas. I will have chicks for sale soon. They will not be sexed

Thank you! I am very interested!

Alright, snapped some pics

Wheaten Bantam Pair (these guys look around 2-3 years old) (ignore curious splash silkie in the background)



They look really good LeBlackbird. These birds will always have a special place in my heart
bc keeping the line going keeps memories alive.
Its seems so hard to find Blue Wheaten. This was our roo.
I hope the new guy produces some BW chicks. Good luck with yours.

I see you list blacks.If all else fails a black/white cross is a possible solution.Back to white and save only white.Do not use the black off spring as you could get leakage or worse into the blacks.

Cottagegarden, I'll be trying my luck with breeding these this year

If I can get the little hen to lay any eggs!

So far nothing, but as soon as she starts I'll be checking for fertility and then hatching like a madwoman. Hopefully you get eggies too!

I would love to buy/swap for a Blue wheaten pullet so I can make some blues with my little Roo man, best of luck regardless!

They are actually split lavs and I don't have a roo either =(

Well it was a thought.I find myself with just a white LF cockerel and I plan to use black hens.Might pickup some vigor,type,and a little size as a plus.
