Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Goose and Fig]

HappyMtn, I was wondering, if you knew, how long will it take for their beards to start coming in?

If they never had them, then they never will. Sometimes you get a "picker" in the bunch, but that one usually still has a beard.
If they had beards as chicks, and they are just very small now, then they only have one gene for it.
That happened to me and I was back to square one. This variety always takes time though, so if that is the case, don't let it dscourage you.

Thnaks FLF ! I don't know where she came from, but I am glad she's a girl

Maybe Illia can weigh in on her?

I thought I had accidentally made a blue silver:



But then she started to show cuckoo:


At least I have something to smile about! Fresh wheaties

I would call her a silver cuckoo.It appears she has light slate legs.Interesting as barring usually interrupts melanin in the legs.It seems black,blue,and are the most affected and other colors seem to escape the leg color issue.

Thanks Jerry! I am interested to see how her legs come out too. How fun.

That's my babies a while ago up above, and here are a couple of one of them now..think it's a girl?
Hey wait..is that a stink eye I see there? Little stink!
I know, still pretty young, but sometimes there are possibilities showing up by now.. 2 weeks old yesterday. Thanks!

Feathering in like a boy, IF your birds don't have K. If they have the K gene too early to tell.
