Lavender Ameraucana Breeders .... UNITE

[watkins0566]

Sooooo.... I'm hoping to not stir up politics (as I don't have time to read the whole thread and don't really know whats going on in here. ) but I was just hoping to find someone that can point me in the direction of a Lavender Ameraucana... pullet chick or hen... Thanks!

I have 2 two year old Lavender Americauna hens that I got from John in 2015. His stock is top quality, with no gold leakage in the down. They have been giving me 75% Lavender under a split roo. I have to let go of these beautiful birds since we have to downsize. I have sent you a PM with a way to contact me.

I have a 12 week old lavender ameraucana that I am still having a hard time deciding if it is a pullet or roo. It is just now starting to get some tail feathers so that makes me lean towards the roo, after reading that's something common with roos. And it has a pretty red comb, but the comb has pretty much stayed the same color and size since about 4 weeks of age. It doesn't "act" like a roo, but maybe that is because there is already a pretty dominant roo that is the same age that I got at the same time. It has never made any attempt to crow like my other roo, instead it kind of has a honking sound that it makes. Oh, and it is pretty small, compared to the 3 other chicks that I got at the same time, granted they are different breeds, but it wasn't supposed to be a bantam.

Here are some photos of the questionable little thing who's name is Periwinkle

Cockerel, no doubt...

I am curious the chicks I picked up 6 weeks there are those with a bit longer tail feathers other are close to the tail end and stop.. deoes the longer tail usually a trait on the male

Is anyone selling chicks presently?

Where are you located are you willing to take straight run? or do you want eggs?

Nope, that doesn't indicate gender... and for Ameraucanas, 6 weeks is way too early to guess...
