    I'm in N.Ga but can hatch some eggs if you're planning to be up this way. Here is a video of one of my young pullets. I have not spent a lot of time with them and was surprised at how friendly and curious they were.

    Tail feathers.. Yes I agree somewhat with your perspective but pedigree and strain are essentially the same thing in chicken breeding world. Chickens have no pedigree therefore strain and pedigree is one and the same. I do understand where you are coming from in regards to what traits have...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    I disagree. In horse breeding it's important to know what is back in the pedigree. It is possible for "a" trait 5 generations back to come out. Same holds true in chicken breeding. If you want to lessen the chance of 'surprises', you find a line that has the same "base line" as your line to...

    Put her in a cage with a wire bottom. Her belly needs to get cooled down to change the hormones.

    Tiny dot on top of chicks heads. Is that an indicator of pullet or cockeral?

    I raise mine in an enclosed coop and then put them out with the big chickens while they are still juvies. The head cockeral beats his chest the others listen and from that day forward no fights.

    This is a young pullet that was put out to pasture a week or so ago. She wants to be held when ever the opportunity presents itself. I weighed some of my eggs and they range anywhere from 1.7-1.9 oz. http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/ad198/HorseFeathersFarm/a0ee9355.jpg

    I love this breed. All of my girls love attention. The boys are more standoffish but still friendly when treats are involved. http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/ad198/HorseFeathersFarm/1c14ad44.jpg And No.23 I like her wing placement better but she seems to have fluff at rhe base of her...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    Does anyone have wheaten ameraucanas with solid black tails? There's a picture of a hen with one at the ameraucana breeders club so where did she come from? Some of my birds have ZERO black on the tail at all. It's more like a smudge of black. Can someone post a picture of a nice type...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    What about wing placement? I don't know what an ideal wing placement is supposed to be. The tail is supposed to be solid black right? She only has black on the top and it's not solid. Who sells the best saddles? I bought some a while back that I'm not very happy with.

    Thoughts on the type of this pullet? (about 6 months old) Tail is growing out and is wrong color but what do you think about her? What are her good points and what needs improvement? Don't be shy. I'm learning and need imput.

    I don't hae a website posted on the club page but will link it and add that disclaimer. Great idea! 100 marans chicks... LOL How much do you guys sell pure bred LAYING hens for? With the expense of getting to that age I'm thinking it would be quite a bit.

    Everyone wants hens. LOL People call asking about buying Ameraucanas. You say, yes I have eggs hatching in 2 weeks how many are you looking for? One lady said she wanted 25 sexed hens. I think people expect "breeders" to be hatcheries. Am I out of touch or do real "breeders" (not...
