My Silver Am is like this. She is 29 weeks old and not laying yet. She is a flighty little thing who is always interested in treats but not fond of being held.
Yes, me too! Oh yeah...same batch! ha ha

Hi Walt,
I am certainly a novice AM befriender, but being only a few minutes N of you, we share the easy winter climate. My AM's from a John Blehm day-old, March order (kids are 26 weeks now!) have never picked once. They have been blended with the adult group over the summer and I...
Aren't you a sweetheart for offering!! Too bad no broodies...I'd want to hit you up for a couple of exchequer leghorn eggs, too!! And i'm just up north...

I need a huge one, like for birds or butterflies of North America, with true-to-life colors. Sigh. But it's such fun!!!
The Blehm Chantecler I ended up with has the brightest yellow HUGE feet! And in comparison to Athena the Silver, they are very stand-outish! I kept looking at her...

Athena is laying??? And is her egg a pretty blue? Amelia, her hatch sister, is not laying yet. We are doing the long wait...
How interesting...that makes Athena, Argenta and Amelia from the same shipment? We all must think alike! And no, she is not laying yet. The Wheatens are...
In this picture they were about 19 weeks, and now are 23 weeks. Both started laying about 14 days ago, and I am getting an egg every 2nd or 3rd day. Pale blue. The Silver's cheeks have just started to redden up, so I am hopeful that she will start pretty soon... Here are the Wheatens (Scotch...

While Cackle does have some pics on their website that look like true Ameraucanas, at least one of the pics (the blue Ameraucana hen) I know I have seen somewhere else before. They may have permission to use it, but I do not think it is their photo. Also the one on their site that...

I sat on the floor with this batch of Blehm babies and let them walk on me, snuggle up, etc. Their personalities sure came out... but often I would have 6 or 8 chicks snuggled in a line down my leg while i was sitting on the floor with them, music playing and snapping photos. Here...

I was wondering if anybody could post a picture of a Silver large fowl Aneracauna chick? So I can compare it to what mine look like. I would take a pic and post it of mine but my hubby is off fighting forest fires and took the camera with him. Thanks :-)
Hi! These are...

I'm late getting to this as I'm on vacation, yippee! But I would like to know where you got your white AMs? Mine was the only one in the batch of 50 birds from John Blehm. Does someone in California, or do you, raise them? I'd love to find Norbert some same-color females as himself...
His eyes kind of look like tiger-eye stones! He is not the brightest bulb, but is very sweet! He was hot today and I snapped this as he was fluffing out trying to cool off. He is feathering in nicely, I think! Got the Juvie molts going on, too!

I posted pics of Norbert's eye and would love to hear your thoughts on that as well, pretty please! Post #10209 here back a few pages...
Let me ask you all...Here is my white cockerel from my March Blehm order. He is one snuggle-dude. See how he has a mottled iris?!? I tried to take a photo, so hopefully you can see it. He can see just fine, but his iris is not round. It looks more like all the pieces of it didn't come...

Great! I would be happy to do so. As you said, we will have to wait a few weeks. The heat index here today was 118! We put up 256 bales of hay today, so I am hot, tired, dirty and itchy.
I will wait till it is closer to time to ship, then get some pics of the different boys to you...
