These are 10 week olds that hatched on March 13th.
Purchased as blue/black/splash/wheaten Ameraucanas. About half of the eggs I got were beautiful blue while the other half were leaning towards green, so I have accepted that these aren’t the most pure. A couple turned out as complete question marks though, so definitely not the most secure breeding pens.
1) They are a little shy..
2) Also a little camera shy.
3)
4) This is the first ??? that I have to assume came out of the Ameraucana eggs as the other breeder I had eggs set from is more of a business than just a backyard operation and all the chicks I hatched from her are to standard aside from one white feather that’s currently on a BCM pullet.
5)The other ??? but I do love how dark and mysterious she (hopefully!) is.
6) They were not having anything to do with getting their photo taken, so this is the best I got
7)
8)
9) She is the daintiest little girl ever and the flash does no justice to how light and iridescent her grey is.
10)
11)
So far I have only moved one roo (who was leaps and bounds bigger than everyone and a bully) over to the bachelor pad. He looked like a match to number 1. If I end up with 11/12 as pullets I will be thrilled, but I assume I am missing something when it comes to sexing them as it’s our first time with “Ameraucanas”.
