    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    Awww you're great! Genetics fascinates me, but I just never fully grasp it. You could say I get the gist of the basics, but when you start getting into pprr, etc. etc. etc. The rest is woin[94ha'sldkncq[ to me LOL!! That doesn't stop me from trying, though and you've seriously made my night...

    Lavender Ameraucana bantams

    I've never owned bantams of any kind, but I am familiar with regular Ameraucanas and they are the best. Kitty is our Ameraucana roo...I swear he is reincarnated from a lap cat and acts like a human toddler. He follows you around, cooing and purring, BEGGING to be picked up and cuddled. He will...

    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    Also, even though the offspring will be mutts, they will take no physical characteristics from Honey (also a mutt...prairie bluebell Egger+ Mystery brown egg layer)? Will some of them have beard/muff and some of them clean-faced? Some have shorter combs and nearly non-existant waddles and some...

    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    Thanks so much again! If you don't mind, would you mind giving me your take on Kitty? I know that he is a true Ameraucana (I've seen the breeding program of the seller), albeit from a subpar breeding program...see the leakage in his wings? This doesn't bother me AT ALL, in fact, I think it's...

    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    YOU, Ma'am, are AMAZING! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for and you did splendidly. Can't thank you enough. Honey is...creamy rust? Her butt is portrayed perfectly in the photo above lol Of course she didn't cooperate when I grabbed the camera, so you get a pretty ok shot of Kitty but only...

    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    Now that we know for sure Kitty is a rooster (and turning into quite the handsome boy, at that), I am curious to see pictures of potential offspring between him and our Starlight Green Egger 'Honey' and learn what color eggs their offspring are likely to lay since Honey's eggs are blue on the...

    What Have I Got??

    Alright, All, I'm stopping the guessing game and calling it. It is much more clear to me today (amazing how much maturing a chicken can do in just 48 hours!!) that Kitty is a rooster. I clearly see more and more of the rooster traits in him. Here are some pics I got today and yeah...Kitty is...

    What Have I Got??

    I'm so sorry...I know I said I would have more pics up today but it's been a full work day and now it's dark. I will do my absolute best to take a break and grab some pics tomorrow. I'd like to get to the bottom of this lol Thanks, guys.

    What Have I Got??

    He/She rarely ever initiates a challenge, even when play fighting. Just ever so docile and lovey. When He/She does, though, all head and neck feathers are puffed out. Yeah, I'm just at a loss, really lol

    What Have I Got??

    I know. SO confusing!! Kitty will be 6 mos old on the 28th and not much has changed except he/she sings the loudest "buh guck, Buh Guck" egg song ever. No egg yet, but no cockadoodle doo, either. Never really walks upright like a roo, usually down lower. I'm just at a loss with this bird lol The...

    What Have I Got??

    This bird is so weird. Single row comb, no waddles to speak of (not even itty bitty Ameraucana ones), thin legs, squats when pet, does a literal egg song, no attempts at crowing, no attempts at mating. I noticed the pointing saddle feathers are mostly feathers with a pointy illusion, as they...

    What Have I Got??

    Hatched March 28th. 5.5 mos old. I will get more pics tomorrow.

    What Have I Got??

    Nobody? ETA: There have also been no signs of mating behavior like trying to mount. Another confusing phenomenon is that this rooster-esque chicken squats when petting it's back at times. I think the bird ITSELF is confused!!

    What Have I Got??

    'Kitty' (because he/she follows you around until you pick him/her up and snuggle) is hatched from an egg sold as pure Ameraucana hatching eggs (blue/black/splash) on March 28th this year. Kitty is THE most confusing chicken I've ever encountered. Single (albeit short) comb that just started...

    Ameracauna Roo or hen?

    When Breeding for Egg Color...

    You all have been MOST helpful and make such great points. I appreciate you so much! Thank you! ❤️

    When Breeding for Egg Color...

    When Breeding to produce Olive Eggers, does it matter which is the rooster and which is the hen? For instance, if I have a FBCM rooster and an Ameraucana hen, would the eggs be a deeper green than if I bred an Ameraucana rooster to FBCM hen or does this have nothing to do with it? Is one way...

    Ameraucana: Can "impurities" be bred out?

    Through selective breeding, is it at all possible to eventually breed out anything NOT Ameraucana and end up with pure Ameraucanas eventually? Say for instance Sally breeds her very Ameraucana looking Easter Egger to a true, pure Ameraucana hen and then those babies are bred to a pure Ameraucana...
