Blue Ameraucana thread!

[FowlStuff]

Need opinions, blues? These came from John Blehm lavenders, no idea how or why. No response from John.

Sorry, I didn't respond because I didn't think the question was for me. I haven't bred blues in several years and the hundreds of lavenders I hatched were all lavender.

Blue Ameraucana are very pretty, indeed. Here are my 2 around 7 weeks

I have acquired 1 Blue Ameraucana and 2 blacks and are unsure of their sex. This is Sadie? Age is 12-16 weeks more or less.

I believe that's a cockerel but a clearer picture may confirm it.

I believe this is a pure breed blue Ameraucana pullet can any one confirm breed and sex for me please. 14 weeks old.

I'm inclined to concur. Do you have a clear comb picture?

Blue or Lavender???? Ameraucana or Easter Egger????

This is Rufus - he's a Blue Ameraucana right? Everyone else's has grey legs, including his sister, but his legs are grey and yellow!
Also - This is my first flock, so I was hoping you experienced keepers could help me. Rufus is 14 weeks now, he started crowing at 8 weeks but has stopped. Not that I (or my neighbours) are complaining, but does this mean he's not a crow'er??

I'd hate to give him away!

Unfortunately, due to the willow legs, he is an Easter Egger. An Ameraucana must have slate legs to be a pure AM. He is very pretty though, and a rooster that barely crowd sounds like a keeper!

I just subscribed. I hatched out 3 BBS Ameraucana; they are 3 months old now. I have one blue rooster, a blue hen and a splash hen. Pretty lucky actually given how many of the eggs didn't even develop. (Shipped eggs). I need to get more to really breed them well but it's a start.
