Yes. Blues don't breed true and lavenders generally lack good feather quality. Consider joining the Ameraucana Alliance and get into all pros and cons. gbartha, I highly recommend visiting the Ameraucana Alliance website and forum. You can read and learn so much from other posts and the...

Mine came from John Blehm also. Very happy with them. As dheltzel mentions, Lavenders have a gene which makes for soft feathers that shred easily. All serious breeders are working to improve feather quality. The ones I have from John are much better than one I got from another source a couple...

Georgeous!!! I have some of John's Original Lavender Bantams. I am so happy with how they are maturing. Gotta get some new pics soon and post

I am so sorry. Don't you just hate the city!!!

True ^^^ You are probably pretty handy and you might look into building nest boxes with wire bottom on a slant so eggs roll away from hen to a spot where she won't be able to get to them. That is probably the only way to save the hens and the eggs. Once they discover how good the egg is . ...

Feathers look the same for a couple more months. I was able to sex my Lavenders accurately at @ 3.5 month by the comb. I was not till later that the hackle and saddle feathers were obvious.

From what I see, Your Lavender Ameraucanas look quite lovely!!

Muffed breeds often loose their "baby" muffs and then start growing them back in somewhere @ 12 weeks, give or take.

Much better!

Looks dark to me, such a small picture, the legs look more like blackish to me also. Looked at it on 2 different computers here

I just had a youngster ask me if Lavender Ameraucana can be shown by 4H members. I have no idea about 4H rules. I think he is here in Florida. Anybody know the answer?

They are lovely

Oh my, Yes, you would. It has really been handy for my smaller number of growing chicks. Found a playpen on the side of the road, too. I hate to see things go to waste. I reuse, recycle, repurpose all kinds of goodies I find. Lavenders and some Wheatens are in the playpen already. All those...

Yes, I start with an old aquarium for several days. I have several sizes. I like using them because they are easy to clean and sterilize for the new chicks. I lucked onto a 2 story rabbit habitat on the side of the road. They will move into the bigger digs in a few days

My Loverly Little Lavender Ameraucana Bantams arrived today from John Blehm. They are drinking, eating, playing in their food, chilling out and pooping. Hey, that's what chicks do. I am so excited!!

I love bantams!! I can have 3-4 bantams for the space and food that a Large fowl takes. My bantam eggs are about 1/2 the size of the large fowl so I get 1 1/2 to 2 eggs in return. So if I have 4 banties instead of 1 large hen, I get 2 eggs instead of 1 During the World Wars I and II, Bantams...
