So how do I know what a true Ameraucana breed looks like?

I bought some Ameraucanas and some Whiting True Blues from Murray McMurray last year and they were not labeled. I have one hen I know for sure is a Whiting True Blue but I can’t tell which ones might be my roosters from the Ameraucanas. Does anyone know how I can tell them apart? Since both...

Thank you so much! I want to say DAHHHH to myself!😂 looks like I have one hen of each in with my WFBS rooster. I don’t have a minora rooster so do you know if I will be able to distinguish their offspring immediately or as adults or is the white face a gene that could be given to the Minorca’s...

Can someone please tell me how to distinguish between a Minorca and a WFBS chicken? What are the characteristics in the hen and the rooster. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Were they correct? I’m pretty much a newbie and I thought 7 might look like a rooster just because the comb looks bigger than the rest... again, I’m new so I’m curious! 😂

I know this is an older posts, but what do you mean when you say it almost always moults out?

Did you ever find out? I received some chicks that were hatched on June 1st and I am curious. Thanks!

Thank you!

Do you have any pictures? I live your ideas! Thanks for sharing!

It does look blue but I’ve looked at their site and can’t see anything that looks like it as far as chick pictures. There aren’t many pictures of their blue sapphires as babies so it might be that. Thanks for your help Will do! Thank!

I got a surprise chick yesterday from McMurray in with my order. Does anyone know what breed it is?

I’m new to chickens and especially breeding them. I bought straight run Red Stars... like I said, I’m new....😂 If I were to breed the rooster, how would he breed out? Also, if I were going to process him, what age is best? I’ve also NEVER processed a chicken before!😬

What did it end up being?

Thank you for this!! I think I would have been better off building my own! I’m very upset with the one I have now that I bought from tractor supply. I put 41 eggs in a couple months ago after spending well over $100 for them. Only 8 came out! I discovered the temperature was not consistent at...

I hope that one made it!
