    Ameraucana (?) Breed question and Pullet or Roo?

    You don't buy the idea, because maybe you don't breed Ameraucana? Ameraucana breeders know what's is, and what's not. And yes, none of yours are true Ameraucanas. They don't meet the standard. If they don't meet the standard, they aren't Ameraucanas.

    Hen or roo? Blue Ameraucana

    It's a rooster. I breed blue ameraucanas. See the long tail growing? The pullets usually have small tail. That guy's comb is already starting to get reddish. And I am an expert :frow

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Bad hatch rate. Only 3 piped. And the ones that did pip all the way, looks like weak vitality. I'd say a fail.

    Is this a true Ameraucana?

    When buying Ameraucana, folks who are breeders will tell you what variety it is. For example, they would say: "Black Ameraucana" or "Wheaton Ameraucana". If someone just says Ameraucana for sale, chances are they are EE. Most Ameraucana enthusiast can provide info where they got their stock...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Candled eggs tonight. Looks like only 11 eggs are developing ok. I'm thinking probably only 7-8 are going to hatch successfully.

    Araucana thread anyone?

    So, according to Edd Sheppard, he states that even clean face parents can pass off tuffs to their offspring. I wonder how many people who breed this breed can attest to that?

    Whiting True Blue Breeding - What to look for?

    There are. Araucanas are bred to have tuffs and be rumpless. However, a huge portion of those hatched from Araucana eggs have tails and have no tuffs. Edd Sheppard, although he has been for years keep saying he is reducing his flock, has kept Araucanas that are tailed and have no tuffs...

    Whiting True Blue Breeding - What to look for?

    Round two. Do a search on FB "Whiting true blue". See what images pop up. See attachments. Beards? Possible. Muffs? Possible. No beards or muffs? Possible. Ameraucana genetics? Highly likely 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Whiting True Blue Breeding - What to look for?

    Whiting True Blue Breeding - What to look for?

    Have you seen WTB stock lately 🤣. Some have muffs and/or beards. Murray McMurray are professionals at walking the gray line. Like their Ameraucanas they sell. They know it's Easter Eggers, but will falsely advertise them.

    Whiting True Blue Breeding - What to look for?

    WTB are a mix from Ameraucana genetics offered by Murray McMurray Hatchery 🙈. Doesn't necessarily breed true regarding plumage color. You technically could pen similar plumage and breed them to a standard color, but it would take time and you have to have the basic understanding of if you...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    If you picked up chicks from feedstore, 99.9% the chicks you got are Easter Egger Mutts that are listed as Amercaucanas or wannabe Araucanas. New chicken people think Easter Eggers are Ameraucanas or Araucanas and use the term loosely. Almost impossible to find Araucanas at the feedstore -...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Some parents may lay greenish blue eggs, and then the babies may lay solid blue eggs. Funny how genetics work in weird ways.

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Who is hatching? 🙈 I have hatch fever. Incubator is out. Bummed it's not Araucanas. We'll see if I have any luck this year finding some local Araucanas. RN, I'm incubating Ameraucanas. So far, 10/10 is developing. Will know in 2 weeks what the hatch rate is.
