Hello all! I have three birds that were born probably about March 12th ish, so they're about 6 weeks old now. They were sold as Americaunas, but as I bought them from a store for about $8 each I assumed they were Easter Eggers.
However, now i have some questions. The two I'm sure are pullets...
Hello all! I am looking to hatch some Blue Am eggs I have a blue Ameraucana hen and a Delaware Roo. Has anyone ever hatched these eggs? Will the Pullets lay blue eggs? Are you able to tell the Pullets from the Roos with this hatching? I’ve never done this before so I’m curious for all the info...
Does anyone know what would happen if I bred a silver Ameraucana hen with a brown red Ameraucana roo? Would the babies be Easter Egger looking (anything under the sun, broken kinda coloring, random) or would they be silver or brown red? I am wondering because they are my only ameraucanas at this...
Easter Eggers are not a standardised and recognised chicken breed, but they are mixed crossbred X chickens created in barnyards by hobby farmers all around the world.
They carry the gene of the blue and green egg shell. This means that breed like rumpless araucanas, crested british araucanas...
Hi, I am placing an online order for some BBS Ameraucana and I’m going back to look at the pictures of their birds more closely. Can an Ameraucana expert please look at this picture and tell me if these look pure? In particular I am looking at the leg color of the splash. Thank you for any input!
Which color Ameraucana parents would produce 50% Silver - 25% Black - 25% Splash? Would ANY pairing be able to produce this percentage of these colors?
I purchased a dozen hatching eggs from someone who appears to be at least an honest seller. She has very good feedback, but that probability...
Hello!
I'm hoping that someone can provide me with some insight.
Last summer, I ordered 8 Splash Ameraucana eggs and incubated them - 1 hatched and is still alive. That chicken is now 6 months old and I am having a difficult time determining it's gender.
My other roosters, who are relatively...
We put another batch of eggs in today 2024-10-11
Lockdown day: 2024-10-29
Hatch day: 2024-11-01
This batch includes some purchased eggs from a neighbor and from my own May-June babies ❤️ So a true backyard mix is gonna pop out.
Most of the chicks should be black or black patterned. Some will...
this chicken is so fascinating to me in terms of color. it came from a Lavender roo + a white dom paint hen that also had that ruddy color but it was much lighter.
i have learned that the overall coloring is "paint" or "ermine" - thank you forum for that!
i am still trying to figure out the...
bettie, black copper marans rooster
mr legbar - Cream Legbar rooster
white chicken - F1 Marshmallow cockerel. look at that dusty coating on his back! the feathers almost look like barring on his neck? his daddy was a lavender rooster with the same dusty coloring on his back. this chicken is...
Attached are pictures of the parents and a picture of the first chick to hatch so far, it does appear to have retained the puffy cheeks of the Ameraucana. After drying, its hatched weight was 27 grams out of eggs that average around 40 grams in weight.
It almost has a bluish looking color, not...
Hello, I bought this rooster as a white (ermine split) ameraucana from a local breeder however, after more research I learned ameraucanas are supposed to have slate colored legs. My rooster has white legs and bottoms of feet (and weirdly a slate colored spot on leg), does this mean he is an...
This is my favorite from the flock. 19 weeks old. Quick backstory. We got 10 chicks and 6 are roos. Including this one. I say its a cockerel due to his crowing. The great thing is that its not as loud as the others Im rehoming and it has a great temperament. So we are keeping him. Now is he a...
10 weeks old. I'm thinking cockerel but
I have another that has a bigger, redder comb. I know they can be tricky. Also I suck at photos. I blame the phone.
I thought we could have a little fun playing "guess the purebred...ness" err, "purity"?
This pullet is Pearl, bred and hatched here from known stock. Is she a pure Ameraucana? You guess!
Hone your skills, or if you don't feel like it, Pearl will accept simple flattery instead.
One of my Ameraucana chicks which I got through the mail on Friday is being very dopey. I have already had one dopey chick die, but what's different about this one is that it has food in its crop and will drink water when I dip its beak in. It's just extremely weak. I'm also not quite able to...
Hi--I'm pretty new to the world of chicken raising. We got 4 chicks and then decided to add 2 more, so we have 4 15 week old chickens (they all appear to be hens, miraculously) and two 8 week old chickens that I bought from a local farm. I am not sure on the genders yet, but one is an Ameraucana...
Hello! We’ve got two Ameraucana (as we were told, I believe they may be EE) Roosters that we are hoping someone might be able to help us figure out what colour they are. They were hatched this year in January.
Here is the first one:
And here is Roo number two:
And here are the two...
I know it is not the greatest pic, it's from my cell phone and was very cloudy out all day today. I just got this guy today, he is definitely an Ameraucana, he's got the pea comb and slate legs like my other Ameraucanas. What I'm needing to know is if he's Isabel or what? He is lavender with...
Hello! I have a bit of an obsession...
Limited coop room and want to optimize egg colours for the amount of hens I can have. I can add a couple more chicks, any suggestions which breeds?
The two last ones I don't yet know if they are hens or roos...
Currently have chicks:
