Hello!
I'm new to raising straight run chickens so have never had a rooster before. I have two 10-week-old Ameraucanas (supposedly one is Blue and one is Splash, but they look the same to me) whose gender is in question. Can you tell me if they're hens or roos?

Hello! Long story short, can anyone confirm if it's possible for a Blue Ameraucana to be without a muff or beard?
I was under the impression that they always have a muff and beard and that the Meyer ameraucanas are true ameraucanas; Meyer's website even lists them as having beards and muffs...
First time chicken keeper here. I ordered a mixed flock of “females” from Myers hatchery. I have a few suspect males, however, this one is my most “concerning” one at the moment.
Hatch date April 24th 2023, just over 8 weeks old. Any guess on gender right now, or still too early to tell?
Hello! ☺️ I ordered some bbs chicks and it was too late to have the hatchery mark them, so I am very confused and I have no idea which is which. 😩 I’m splitting the order with someone so I don’t want to give them the wrong ones! They all look the same to me lol. They are ALL BBS (blue black or...
Hello! Curious to know what ya'll think of this 12 week old EE - pullet or cockerel. Heavy Ameracauna in them.
Not seeing saddle or hackle feathers.ter
I am searching for a loving chicken mom near Lancaster, Pa that would be willing to take a blue Ameraucana rooster ( if he turns out to be one). It is 5 weeks old and I'm 90% sure it is going to be a roo. In that case I need to rehome him. I am looking for someone who will not kill him and will...
This is my 8 week old Easter Egger.
Let me know if you think this is a pullet or a cockerel. I have my guess, but I'm keeping it to myself until I hear from ya'll.
Regardless, I will keep everyone posted as they develop :)
Pengu is our 7.5 week old (correction: 8.5 week old) Blue Ameraucana. I believe a pullet, but she displays aggressive behavior with our two cockerels more often than the other pullets. I've seen her defend other hens from rooster attention, is this behavior expected from a hen that is higher in...
I currently have a pair of Jungle Fowl, Ameracuana, and Cochin mix chickens in need of a new home. They are super handle-able and people friendly. We hand raised them after finding a rat snake eating the eggs in the nest as they were hatching, but it's time for them to go to someone else's flock...
We just started a new little flock. We have had chickens in the past but never as chicks. This is stressful haha.
Help us determine how many need to be served an eviction notice. Details about each chick will be included under each picture.
Dottie is our itty bitty baby.
She is an Ameracauna and...
A friend purchased some "easter eggers" in the spring. The females look just like blue ameraucanas to me. The one rooster is gorgeous with blue/slate legs and a rose comb - almost looks to be wheaten blue in color. I'm curious, did this friend actually get blue ameraucanas or just some good...
Is my rooster a Blue Ameraucana x Blue Wheaten Ameraucana. Because he is blue but he has some Wheaten like colors. Yes I know that would make him and Easter egger since his colors aren't right, but just wanted to ask. Thanks for any help!!
Well I was gifted this lumpy rooster that was said to be a true ameraucana. His coloring is gorgeous but since he’s malformed, he’s destroying the hens because he loses his balance and just grips tighter and attacks them. (no feathers on backs, back of heads, or right shoulder, some getting...
I’m new to breeding and back in November I hatched two different blue roosters from pure BBS hatching eggs. Why is one of them so light? Can the lighter one still be used for breeding or is he a mistake with BBS and should just stick to EE and OE breeding for him. Also what causes the extreme...
I’m in search of blue or splash Ameraucana hens under 2 years. We hatched 4 out of 6 Roos and we are looking to even it out more. Please message if you have any you are willing to sell. Please DM me if you have any more specific questions. We are looking for true bred ameraucanas not EE/OE...
Sadly, our girl, Margo, is in need of a new home (she's in Phoenix, AZ). She just turned three years old, and she's a great layer when not molting - She leaves us the most beautiful pale blue eggs. She's just about finishing her current molt - You can still see some of the pin feathers that...

Hi there,
I’m searching for Blue, Black, and Splash Ameraucanas for sale. Preferably more Blue and Splash than Black as I already have some.
I want older chicks if possible, or even older birds if you have some, though I’d be willing to take young chicks if need be.
I’m located in Lake...
Willing to take a bit of a drive to get some chicks. Only want maybe 5 or 6 and shipping from the hatcheries that have them (and also throwing in splash birds) is really expensive. Would be willing to drive to you to buy some chicks or even some hatching eggs. Really only looking for blue...
