Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Stevin--you asked for a photo of a Silver. This is Dixie, my Silver hen that I got from Barbara Campbell about 8 years ago. Although Dixie was skittish and walked around fussing most of the time--it sounded like high-pitched laughing, btw--I thought she was one of the prettiest hens I ever had. She looks a little rough in the photo because she was starting to molt. She was definitely a "look, but don't touch" little gal and I sure miss her and her maniacal laugh.

@ Model A- Thank you! I kept three males, 3, 4 and 9. I *believe* it was either 3 or 4 that is fertilizing everyone, we will have to wait and see when the babies come out!

I've not posted on here in FOREVER... I've been so busy with 4H and my new internship I've barely even been on! But I just showed in our County fair, but for a county fair it is very competitve. There are two very good Ameraucana bantam breeders that show and a very very good Bantam Sumatra breeder there. We had I think 270 birds there! There were about 30 in the AOCCL class which is VERY GOOD! I showed 3 Lavenders, 2 Brown Reds, and 1 Black. All bantam. I ended up winning Res. AOCCL and the Ch. AOCCL went to an old black sumtatra cock bird. I've found that if there is a well kept sumatra in the class the judge will go for it ever time

Here is my black pullet and the trophy. She is headed to my Lavender pen as I am getting rid of all my blues and putting my blacks in my lavender pen.
 
Well congratulations ! Plus I am more than thrilled for you because my black bantam Am fro Sally looks like your girl. How is your hen's personality ?
