ameracauna

Hi there, back in April I had found a breeder that bred lavender Ameraucanas and purchased one that was a week old, she is now 39 weeks old but I have yet to see a blue egg, I am starting to get a bit concerned that there could be some sort of underlying health issue. Could she be egg bound? Or...

Hi everyone! I've been following BYC for months as my go-to look up for questions we have since getting our first chickens in August! We live in Abita Springs, Louisiana (about an hour outside of New Orleans). We are new to chickens and got two chicks in August. Beignet is a Buff Orpington and...

This is my new purebred Ameracauna pullet. Will the black coloring on the lower half of her beak disqualify her as a potential show bird?

So about two years ago I lost my entire small flock of hens to hawks in a 48 hour period. I was allowing them to freerange. After this horrible experience of finding my hens disemboweled in piles of their own feathers I swore I’d never have chickens again (although I fully intended to) until I...

How old do they look to you?

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...

Hi! Im new here. We have 9 chickies, 7 of whom are definitely hens, now laying eggs. Two of them are Ameracaunas, raised from chicks. One, Lucy, has a very low pea comb and just layed her first egg today! The other, Primrose (Everdeen) started growing a comb about 6-8 weeks ago, it stayed low...

What is required to make a chicken an Ameraucana and not an Easter Egger? For a great deal from a local breeder I got a mix of green and blue egg layer hatching eggs, but I wouldn't get to know what breeds they were. About 9 months later I have Super Blues and Easter Eggers, but one of them I...

Hi there! I am trying to determine Ameracauna Roo crossed w/hybrid Golden Comet hens would be a good cross re 1)high egg production, 2)cold hardiness and foraging 3) blue/green eggs 4) pretty & nice temperment Any thoughts on an Ameracauna roo crossed on Comet hens pls? Would the comet...

Hi there, I have a lavender Amerucana hen that I am interested in entering at some shows. I have looked online to make sure that color is recognized by the APA but can’t seem to find a definitive answer.... does anyone know whether it is? Or what the recognized amerucana colors are by the APA?

Hey all! My two white and black turned out to be males for sure, the brown one is a female. Originally we were told she was an Ameraucana, but she's laying a brownish egg. Is this normal? She's also only about 4 months old. She's gotten bigger since the picture was taken, also the males are gone...

I would first like to thank everyone on this forum - you have supplied us with a wealth of knowledge and have made our first 5.5 months of urban chicken life so much fun! I have a 2 part question: We purchased an Ameraucana, Barred Rock, Black Star and Giant Cochin as hatchlings in early March...

Hi everyone! We have had chickens for over a year now and I just wanted to share our little rooster we hatched with anyone who would like to see what a hybrid blue cochin/ameraucana looks like. Enjoy!

I have researched and owned a lot of chicken breeds, lots of types of Ameracaunas and Easter Eggers. One of my life long goals was to find a hen that will lay a true pale blue egg. My hens have always layed what I consider a pale mint green egg, and I have read all about other chicken owners...
