Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds - Page 2

Well any day now I should be getting an egg from one of these 2 ladies,







then I have another splash and black juveniles.




Here is my Blue roo he got a leg injury a few months ago and still has a bit of a limp but is a good boy





And here is my Buff he has filled out a lot more and his tail is now full and beautiful. I had him for sale but no one bought and I am now wondering if I should breed him a bit before selling him.

Beautiful birds Henry...
I'll have to get some pics of mine.

Thanks, Harry. The last blue and the splash are both Cree. The first blue and the black rooster were half Cree.

I've got three - not sure what the color patterns are called.  Very sweet birds, big greenish eggs.

muell, those are not Ameraucanas, they're Easter Eggers. Very pretty, though! I have both.

Ok, I've had a hard time figuring out the difference between araucanas, americanas, and easter eggers. I believe the hatchery listed these as araucanas. Is that the same as easter egger? The posts above seem to have similar physical traits (combs, feather muffs etc) so I thought I'd post...my bad!

No, Araucanas are very rare and no big hatcheries sell them. Araucana, Ameraucana and Easter Eggers are three different breeds. EEs are a crossbreed. Ameraucanas must have certain accepted colors, slate legs, lay blue or greenish-blue eggs, etc. You are not alone in your confusion. Do a search of the breeds here and you'll find explanations galore. Here is one webpage for you to look at that explains the difference, though. http://creefarm.fateback.com/ameraucana.html

4 newly hatched Wheaten Ameraucanas...  aren't they sweet?
