Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Folly's place]

Hi again, back to my black rooster. Thanks for the nice comments, I think he's good looking too! Those blues are beautiful! Mary

I think its fair.  She probably only has one copy, or she is based on columbian.   We will see what the others think..........

I started reading this thread...its interesting, and I wonder if I have aome of the birds here to get started with this....i "accidentally" produced this gal crossing my BLRW and a black Australorp...the legs are dark and there is some darker edging...
I have a beautiful BLRW roo, some chicks from him and a Blue Am, one BLRW chick that has a single comb, and have been searching for more Blue Ams (my previous was not great quality)...so...would this be a good start? Where would I go from here?

Are Andalusians silver based or gold based?

I bought these from a breeder that said they were full blood Ameraucana. I was looking into letting my boys show them and am questioning wether they meet the breed standard on color after looking at the websites. I always considered the hen black and the rooster white.

Sorry, I'm new to the breed so not much help. They are both beautiful. The hen looks loke she has some color leakage around her neck? The roo might be a wheaten but it isn't a color I have or know. Ameraucanas are odd in that you can have a mixed breed if you breed the wrong color of one Ameraucana to another. Best wishes.

They are both EE.... so they do not meet the SOP for the breed sorry.

Thanks for the help. I was afraid they were Easter eggers.

Silver I believe.
