I hope this is the right place for this!
I bought 4 “Ermine” chicks from a breeder & have already reached out to her regarding this question but I was confused with the answer. They came from a Dom White Roo & Ermine hen. 3 of the chicks are pure white and 1 is ermine. I was told that the...
Hello everyone! My husband and I are raising our first flock of backyard chickens. We have Rhode Island reds, barred rocks, and ameraucanas (yes, I know they are actually Easter eggers since we got them from a hatchery). We ordered all pullets but decided we wanted to free range, so we are...
I would like to breed Ameraucanas (not Easter Eggers, not Americanas), but I have recently read that the offspring resulting from an Ameraucana of one color bred to an Ameraucana of a different color will not be a true Ameraucana, but instead an Easter Egger.
Why? How?
If that is the case, even...
Recently got some straight run chicks from TS labeled 'Americana.' Though it would be fun to post pictures and guess what they might turn out as. Here are pictures at 3 days old and 4 weeks (sorry they didn't want to stand still for these).
I'll update every few weeks. Figured this might help...
Okay. So all my “girls” are 12 weeks old now and I think we don’t have a roo. The biggest girl who’s definitely top of the order has been my main concern but at this point, her comb isn’t redder than any of the other ones and they all seem to be rocking similar feather patters. I don’t have...
I went to Rural King here in Central KY and picked up some chicks, only to find that they were not what I thought I was getting. Does this sound familiar? I need help identifyng all 4 of these babies.
I'm actually somewhat pleased as these look so interesting. These first 2 pics are from the...

I have 4 hens in an enclosure that they’ve been in for almost 2 years and out of no where my smallest Ameraucana hen (who is at the lowest pecking order) has just started attacking my brown leg horn hen, holding her down, pecking her head, and drawing blood. It’s been a few days and she hasn’t...
I hatched out 4 eggs. they were from a 1, blue Ameraucana over blue and white Ameraucanas and a cream legbar, and from 2, an Easter Egger pen. am I correct here?
brown is a legbar cross, black is an Ameraucana, and the two lighter babes are Easter Eggers? eggs weren't labeled.
Hi! This is my first time raising chicks and i bought 3 ameraucanas; one blue, one black, one splash. Im starting this thread on week 2 but im excited to see how they turn out and would love some guesses on gender and future coloring. So far i think the splash and black are boys, and the blue a...
so I'm getting a flock from someone local.
roosters: silver and wheaten
hens: silver, black, and blue wheaten
what colors could I possibly get if I put the silver roo in with the hens vs if I used the wheaten?
I JUST learned they exist... and they're purebred! Silkies & Ameraucanas are my "specialty" breeds. tell me more? where they're found? how the heck anyone figured out how to silk an Ameraucana without using a Silkie???!
Hello, i was given an "Ameraucana" that is actually an Easter Egger, which I am fine with, he is an amazing looking rooster. However I am having a little difficulty identifying his parent's breeds.
Obviously one was an Ameraucana.
The other is???? A Cream Legbar perhaps? I saw several...
Hello! A gentleman in Lucasville, Ohio gave me an amazing looking rooster this evening. I finally have a rooster to look after my 5 hens. I have never raised any Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas before so I have no idea which this is. He said it was sold to him as an Ameraucana but it probably...
I brought home this bunch a week ago; they’re now 3 weeks old. Sold as true Ameraucanas but this is my first time with anything other than silkies, so!
Any guesses? Cockerel or pullet?
#1 Splash
#2 Wheaten (?)
#3 Black
#4 Lavender? Blue?
Hey everyone, I am desperately needing to find great homes for some roosters!! I have one Speckled Sussex (13 weeks), two Salmon Faverolles (17-18 weeks), and one Splash Ameraucana (17-18 weeks). I love them all and wish I could keep them, but unfortunately in my town I’m not allowed to have...
1) What type of bird , age and weight
Lavender Ameraucana 6 months, ~3 lbs
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
Yesterday fine, ate worms out of garden Tends to be spunky, social, active. I call her a puppy chicken.
This morning she became lethargic and just sits with feathers puffed up. Not...
