Very pretty birds! I love the barred =) I really want to make sex link EEs, and might try this year.

Here is my pure Blue Ameraucana rooster. His tail feathers were rudely plucked out by a pen mate but they are growing back.

Anyone have any buff ameraucana eggs to sell... I have a legbar roo I want to cross with the buffs to make ambars

I've gotten buff eggs from Gary Ramey, Wayne Meredith, and Pips&Peeps in the past. You might want to try Dixieland on here too- she bought my buffs from me.
Sounds like a great project.

My autosexing project was stopped. Of course, the last batch of chicks that hatched are all silver and barred (not red and barred like I wanted). I am growing them up and if there happens to be a rooster and some pullets, I might try to breed them together. Otherwise, looks like any pullets from that will go in with my red EE rooster for basic sexlinks. I have a new goal for an autosexing project that will lay blue eggs, it will just be more araucana like. I may have to start a separate thread once I start hatching

Does anybody know what colours I will get if I cross a white cockerel with a lavender barred hen please? Also to get the normal cuckoo colouring in the chicks would I have to cross the lavender barred hen with a black cockerel?
Thanks loads.

You should get black females and black barred male chicks. Unless your white is split for lav or carrying something else that could pop up.

Oh I like the lil guy on the right! Look at those feet!!!
I am at the same point now. All boys....there has to be a good one in there somewhere. I have yet to hatch a split cuckoo roo though- either my split hen is laying all girls or her eggs just aren't hatching.
