Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds - Page 1260

If you are only breeding them to white, you are only going to get white offspring. The only real way to find out is breed them to another color.

Beautiful pics!  You should have painted her toenails pink to match her comb/face.

No. Rec White x Rec White = White. Recessive White just means that the white will not show up if the bird carries only one copy for it, unlike dominant white. Most Ameraucanas I believe are recessive White not dominant.

Thanks to both of you about the genetics. I found several pages on chickens genetics so I can check information. Eventually I will "get it."   

Hey all, I'm looking to get some true ameracaunas. Was told that it is hard to get adult hens. Does anyone have chicks or hatching eggs available and is able to ship. Pm me with prices and availability. Thanks in advance.

I am on the lookout for some bantam ameraucana eggs to hatch. I have a little roo who needs a girlfriend or two so he will stop looking sooo sad. Any ideas on where to locate someone close to Oregon?

Depending on where you are in Oregon, there's a big poultry swap in Corvallis this weekend, there at least one person bringing both POL pullets and hatching eggs.  You can check out the thread at http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=490979

I was hoping that someone was going to be there, I am attending the swap so now I have to be on the lookout for them and hope that I get there early enough to get some!!! Thank you very much for the heads up.

Cloverleaf Farm is in Canby, Oregon and she has bantam Ameraucanas.  Some of them just won at the show in WA last weekend, too!

There are folks who advertise on BYC at the end of the index.  My few birds are from a local breeder and my one Bantam pullet was hatched from shipped eggs more than half way across the county.        There are breeders listed here:         http://www.ameraucana.org/

Finding local poultry shows through internet searches are sometimes a good source depending on the amount of breeders in your area. I know of only a few breeders with Bantam Ameraucanas 2 in Indiana and 2 in southern California. So you really need to look around your area if you want local access.  Good luck searching and do your homework so you know the quality of what you see. Also remember the differences between EEs and Ameraucanas. If you are new to the breed copy,paste and print the information.
