Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Cattitude]

Aye, and I'm hoping to contact him this spring for some eggs. According to his web page, he'll be attending the show in Indianapolis the last weekend of October, and I wish I had the cash to make the trip! It would be well worth it just to see the great chickens and talk to the breeders. *sigh*

Love love LOVE his color! He's the first brown red roo I've seen. Does anyone have pics of a hen? I think I wouldn't mind a trio of this color!

He's not a brown red, they don't have a colored wing bar. Looks like a wheaten to me.

He looks more like a wheaten than a brown red. Where did you get him?

Ummm....Flame isn't a Brown-Red. Brown reds do not have red or brown color in the wing bay (exposed portion of secondaries when wing is folded)/ the triangle at the bottom of his wing. He looks exactly like the wheaten male lacking a few "particulars". His beard is gorgeous! Nice and black which is rare.

A possible Wheaten with an impressively DARK black beard!​

You beat me to it!

Hmm, I was wondering about the wing bar, but until today I had never been able to get a decent pic of him. A friend of mine went to a breeder just east of Nashville, Tennessee and bought the hatching eggs. I'll get ahold of her and ask if she bought any wheaten at the same time. Whatever he is, I think he's gorgeous.

Ha we all jumped on that at the same time!

You shouldn't have too hard of a time finding wheaten girls or eggs.

Did you try the Ameraucana Breeder's List? I know Mike Gilbert breeds brown-red in LF. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, the brown red variety of Ameraucana didn't wow me like most of the others did.

I think it would be a wonderful asset to the ABC to have more people focusing on the continuation of the brown-red ams. I wish you success in your pursuit.

I have looked at the ABC website, I only found two people who will ship live birds, (Mike is one) and I've sent them both emails. I don't have an incubator yet, hence the need for live birds. That and I'm kinda hoping to start with live birds and worry about hatch rates at a later date. Gonna have to bite the bullet and buy an incubator if I get a project, but...
