I have a fresh hatch of Ermine but even though it was black over Ermine pairing, all of my hatches were Ermine and I wanted blacks. I contacted the seller and they had some blacks for me. AND a gorgeous lavender pullet. I was instantly in love 😍
This has lead to 7 hours straight of trying to...
say i had a chocolate mottled roo. if i put chocolate mottled AND black mottled hens with him, would i get chocolate and black mottled chicks (split to chocolate)?
and for solid chocolate and black chicks, they should be in a separate pen, correct? i read that a bird even carrying 1 mottling...
Hey all, I finally got my hands on (what I think) is a really nice line of Ameraucana. Here’s my roo at 5 months old - will he stand a chance at a show? Can I breed him to make it better?
Also I have read the breed standard but I have a really hard time telling what that all should look like...
Can you guys help me sex some of my chickens that im confused about? First one is an ameraucana, 6 months old. Second one is a silkie buff Orpington mix, 3 months old. Third one is the same as the second one, also 3 months old.
I have a black ameraucana hen who’s about 5 months old. I’ve noticed she has some random white spots on her wing and tail. Does anyone know how this happens? Will she have this all the time? I’m curious to know
I've tried looking at everyone's posts and looking up the anatomy of a rooster, but I still have no idea what I'm looking for. Help?
Prepare for picture overload! Let's start out with this cuteness. Heat wave and still wanting to cuddle.
I've posted when they were younger, and now I...
so I crossed my bantam ameraucanas with my serama roos. Pictured is the possible serama fathers and my smallest girl next to a serama hen (hen with white ears isn’t serama). They’re close in size. So far I have 3 cute little chicks. One dark gray (I think a boy) and 2 yellow and grey (I think...
I recently hatched out 6 Crested Cream Legbar cross hatchlings, paired with my Paint Ameraucana EE rooster. I didn't get any paint colored chicks from this pairing. They were all black with a dark chipmunk stripe.
The cockerels have lighter beaks/legs + an obvious head dot.
The pullets have...
I just brought home 26 hatchlings! I am over the moon happy. I paid a lady to incubate them and she rocked it out of the park.
My rooster is a paint ameraucana EE with autosomal red + lavender split. Hens are BYC unless listed below.
11 of the chicks are paints - 6 are black spotted, the other...
We need to rehome several 6 -7 week old roos from our last three hatchings: 2 Ermine Ameraucanas, 2 Silverudd Blue (Black), 2 Silverudd Blue (Splash), 1 Silver Ameraucana, 1 Olive Egger (Lavender Marans x Shetland Hen), 1 Olive Egger (BCM X BBS Ameraucana), 1 Silver Double-Laced Barnevelder, 1...
I hatched this guy/gal from hatching eggs that I purchased from an Ameraucana breeder who bred BBS Ameraucana. I saw the parent birds. Breed purity isn’t in question. But this is the only one that hatched out of 31 eggs. No joke.
Anyway, is this copper leakage normal at this age, or any age...
Hello all, I searched but haven't found a match with this condition. This speckled biddy started limping slightly almost two weeks ago but was, and is still, walking, jumping, foraging, eating and drinking with her sisters, which we bought as hatchlings. They're integrating with 7 older birds...
Hello all! I have three birds that were born probably about March 12th ish, so they're about 6 weeks old now. They were sold as Americaunas, but as I bought them from a store for about $8 each I assumed they were Easter Eggers.
However, now i have some questions. The two I'm sure are pullets...
Hello all! I am looking to hatch some Blue Am eggs I have a blue Ameraucana hen and a Delaware Roo. Has anyone ever hatched these eggs? Will the Pullets lay blue eggs? Are you able to tell the Pullets from the Roos with this hatching? I’ve never done this before so I’m curious for all the info...
Does anyone know what would happen if I bred a silver Ameraucana hen with a brown red Ameraucana roo? Would the babies be Easter Egger looking (anything under the sun, broken kinda coloring, random) or would they be silver or brown red? I am wondering because they are my only ameraucanas at this...
Easter Eggers are not a standardised and recognised chicken breed, but they are mixed crossbred X chickens created in barnyards by hobby farmers all around the world.
They carry the gene of the blue and green egg shell. This means that breed like rumpless araucanas, crested british araucanas...
Hi, I am placing an online order for some BBS Ameraucana and I’m going back to look at the pictures of their birds more closely. Can an Ameraucana expert please look at this picture and tell me if these look pure? In particular I am looking at the leg color of the splash. Thank you for any input!
Which color Ameraucana parents would produce 50% Silver - 25% Black - 25% Splash? Would ANY pairing be able to produce this percentage of these colors?
I purchased a dozen hatching eggs from someone who appears to be at least an honest seller. She has very good feedback, but that probability...
Hello!
I'm hoping that someone can provide me with some insight.
Last summer, I ordered 8 Splash Ameraucana eggs and incubated them - 1 hatched and is still alive. That chicken is now 6 months old and I am having a difficult time determining it's gender.
My other roosters, who are relatively...
