Well better late than never I always say...sorry...i lost sight of this thread and never saw it again!! I meant to answer! Charlotte turns out to have what i call a "pea comb plus"...its a little bigger than i would have expected, but not big enough to call it a single. She lays greenish...

wow...Duke is gorgeous! Did you happen to take a picture of the orange rooster before he...uh...departed? ;-) I wonder why so many of yours turned out white...musta been a real strong trait in his genetics, no? I thought it was interesting that both my BO/EE crosses were mostly buff...

oh hey...while I'm thinking of it...do they all come out mostly Buff colored when you cross EE and BO? Or do you get more variations than I have with Charlotte and Clementine? ...just wondering... I also have two Black Astrolorps...I haven't set any of their eggs cuz they both tend to have a...

wow...that is REALLY helpful! Thank you! I had never heard that before! ...then again I never really looked into it... I wasn't going to set too many more of those eggs under my broody anymore, but now that I know of this sex-linked trait, maybe I will! :-) Seems like it'd be nice to know...

Oh yeah! That's cute! We used to have a "Cluck Norris" across the hill from us...but I haven't heard him in a while...maybe they changed his name to "Stu" (Stew) ;-) Yes...I was thinking since we have Gregory Peck, we gotta stick with the theme... ;-) I came up with Russell Crow, and a...

Hello, experts! I'm back with an update...and another plea for your thoughts! :-) So we're at 12 weeks now, and I think I've resigned myself to the idea that Harriet(on the left) is not so much a "she"...thought I cant stop calling her she! LOL! Here's the latest photos...tell me if these...

Thank you, Alex! that helps a lot! cute picks...not as cute as mine tho... ;-P Yes...fascinating creatures! I'm learning more and more every day! I love this group! I learn so much from you all! :-)

thanks Frazz!

Still trying to learn here... :-) So, when I google "Ameraucana", and look at the pics of all the colors you mentioned above, there are such WILDLY varied ranges of what those "colors" look like...and I actually found some blue wheaten pics that look VERY much like Gertrude, and a couple of...

Thanks! I do so hope you're right! He's actually got more brown in his wings than you can see in this light. Each of his feathers on that end of his wing have just a thin white stripe...the rest is brown, but when he stands at attention like that, they line up to make a big white spot. :-)...

They're awesome! I have very vivid memories of watching my grandfather shampoo and blow dry their white puffy heads before taking them to show. I dont even know if he ever won anything with them...I just remember the "hair salon" in his shed...LOL!!! Thanks for the blast from the past! :-)

thanks for the "hope"! I like knowing others have been told roo incorrectly! ;-) I'm hoping hoping hoping...time will tell...I'm just so dang impatient! ;-) I love the chicken in your picture! My grandfather back in Germany used to raise and show those when I was little...never did find...

Thanks! I do think they're pretty gorgeous. I thought it was just me looking at them with "mommy eyes", but everyone keeps saying how stunning they are, so maybe it's not just "mother's love"! ;-)

oh he is just beautiful! I can definitely see the roo-ness there! My Harriet looks nothing like that...still no saddle feathers, no long curving tail feathers...just nothing like what her daddy looked like at this age either. I sure hope you're right! I so was hoping for some more lovely...

thanks, Alex...yeah...I'm keeping an eye on Clementine too, but she's crossed with Buff Orp, and her mom at this age, also had a comb sticking up a bit and pinkish like that, so I'm hoping hoping hoping. I'm wondering though...what makes you say none of them are Ams? Not trying to be...

Thanks! I'm keeping an eye on her...I'm really hoping she's a she...she's so gorgeous though...cant say I've seen a girl that pretty before so that kinda scares me! ;-|

Thanks! I am very proud of them...they're beautiful, they're very entertaining, and they give me breakfast! :-) Lots and lots of beautifully colored eggs. Yum!

Hi there experts! I have three chickies that my broody hen dutifully sat on and then raised. They are now almost 9 weeks old. Each is from a different mommy, but all three have the same daddy. He's an Ameraucana as far as I know. The mommies are one Ameraucana, and two Buff Orps. I'm...
