Adventures in Easter Eggers. Five are from a local breeder who have a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana as their sire (she breeds Blue Wheaten) and the other four are Americana(Easter Eggers from TSC/Hoover's)
This is just to track their cuteness!!! 😍 Because I have to share!
Hatch: March 15
I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom.
Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna
I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black.
So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?!

I got some 5 month old pullets and they are starting to look a little interesting. Came from a breeder that sold them as pure rocks although the breeder also has several flocks and I got an australorp x barrad rock chick for free when i got the pullets.
I don’t have any barred rocks so I can’t...
Here's the answer to breeding a White Leghorn hen to a Lavender Orpington rooster. The result is some darling chicks! They are very light in color, almost pure white and have black spots on their heads and bodies. I'm strongly tempted to call them domino chicks. They are very friendly and...
I have this beautiful, metallic lavender olive egger Roo, that I hatched from an egg and is now five months old. I don’t know what to breed him with. I have read there are certain things you’re not supposed to breed because of the recessive gene. I have lavender Orphington’s, and light Brahmas...
I have a hen that is from a lavender Orpington rooster and buff Orpington hen. I don't have a picture of her right now, but I can get one later. What do you think I would get if I bred her to my blue Cochin bantam roo? Any ideas are super appreciated!! Also, ive hatched out a couple chicks from...
I hatched out 4 eggs. they were from a 1, blue Ameraucana over blue and white Ameraucanas and a cream legbar, and from 2, an Easter Egger pen. am I correct here?
brown is a legbar cross, black is an Ameraucana, and the two lighter babes are Easter Eggers? eggs weren't labeled.
Wondering if anyone has crossed Bielefelder with Black Australorp? I have a gorgeous Black Australorp Roo that I have thought about crossing with a Bielefelder hen. Curious to know if anyone has and what the results were. Thanks!
hi there, new to this website. Last spring, Me and my family incubated and hatched our chicken's eggs to see what we would get. We got some chickens from a New Hampshire rooster and our Buff Polish hens, which my mom has dubbed, "Crested New Englands". I'm curious if anybody else here has bred...
I'm considering creating a new breed so to say.
I love my Jubilee orpingtons so much, Buffs too. And I was interested if by crossing them I could get something like Jubilee but for the base color to be closer to buff.
Hope someone can help me and inform me if I should even try it, what are the...
As someone who just started raising pure bred chicks this year I noticed that all of my pure bred chicks (orpington, barred rocks, wyandotte) got feathered a lot slower than all of my mutts/crosses.
Is that the case for those of you who also raised pure bred and crossed/mutt chicks?
We have 5 roos to re-home! One is a pure Lavender Orpington. He is about 1.5 years old.
The other 4 are his offspring and crossed with Ameraucana (different hens). Two of the 4 have the fluffy cheeks and 2 do not.
Hi everyone! We have a roo that is in search of his forever home.
We have too many roosters. He is a little shy of 3 months old. He is an Ameraucana (hen) and lavender Orpington (rooster) mix and is beautiful! His tail is the iridescent green/blue!
Location: Richmond/Fredericksburg area, VA
Hi all. We are starting a fibro broiler project and are looking for advice. We intend to use Svart Hona, a slightly stockier (and winter-hardy) fibro breed than the more popular Ayam Cemani; they top out at 5-7lbs, vs the Cemani 3.5-5.5lbs.
However, that's adult weight, not butchering weight...
Wondering what color the chicks will be ( not the eggs) if I cross this white amerecauna hen (I think she’s white with black leakage) to a blue splash marans.
