Congrats on your new chick.I finally got my very first Lavender Ameraucana. The lady I got him from bought shipped fertile eggs and only one hatched. Since she only had the one chick she sold him to me for $10. She basically paid $25 for him. He hatched October 2nd. He has stress lines in his feathers and they look ragged. I don't know if that's because of the tail shredder gene or from stress. I'm thinking about getting a black one to breed him with next year. I'm thinking it's a little cockerel. How do you think he looks? Is he the proper color?![]()

Congrats on your new chick.It's a little early to make any assessments/critiques on her/him, but I hope s/he turns into a beautiful bird for you! If s/he is definitely a lavender Ameraucana, you could breed him/her with other lavender Ameraucanas to create 100% lavender offspring, or you could mate him/her with a black Ameraucana to create what is termed "blacks split to lavender" to improve feather quality and type if it is needed. I'll attach a breeding chart just in case you don't have one on hand. Lavenders can be notoriously hard to sex. Sometimes it can take 8-10 weeks before you know with certainty what they are. Just out of curiosity, what color is his/her shanks and feet turning thus far? I couldn't tell from the photos. Best wishes!

Well my friends, it has been a pleasure. I have been on this site for a while now and selling Lavenders for a year. Someone snitched on me and the city is making me move my birds off property forcing me to sell my flock. I had over 50 birds in total and someone is supposed to come now to buy my last 28. I will miss my main roo that's for sure
