It would be much better to use a different roo. In cases like that I move them to the olive egger pen with my cull marans. You will probably get some bearded chicks, BUT you will always run the possibility of clean faced chicks from him and all of his offspring.

Dang

You got one?

No extras- same thing happened to me- the roo was throwing clean faced chicks even though he was bearded. I was going to try and hit up Denise for some eggs

No. Lavender is still a project Ameraucana, and not officially recognized. Check on the Ameraucana Breeder's Directory for a breeder near you... www.ameraucana.org

I kept changing the angle of my computer screen when looking at these pics because his breast feathers almost look irridescent!

His feathering is amazing.

I know! He is so shiny it almost looks laced. Are you giving them lots of sunflower or something? Whatever it is I need some!


YES! They are on a completely organic diet with lots of BOSS every morning. They all have beautiful feathers and are gorgeous! Thank you!

I have a roo, I thought I would get some opinions on. I think he is pretty, but I am a newbie to roos.

He looks like an Easter Egger to me...

Very possible.... He was supposed to be a she. I just bought "her" so that I could add color to the egg basket. It was supposed to be full blood ameraucana, but I think they came from a hatchery.
