I agree they are all pullets, but it looks like you got one of those freakish white birds. They have been popping up in lots of lines the past three or so years. It's not a normal splash wheaten.

Thanks for the comments folks, still leaves me with no rooster if all are pullets. Any help in that area please pm me

Legs are all clean Bobbie

Jean, I have read here about the white birds, from what I gather they are not to be used in breeding programs? Are there pics somewhere of normal splash birds around this age?

thanks again I have my membership form printed off and ready to send in

If you are in WI, I would get in touch with Wayne Meredith and see if he'll have any roos available.

Hi Everyone,
Is this the right thread to discuss breeding Ameraucanas (not EEs)? If this isn't the right thread, could someone direct me to another thread?

I need some help deciding which cockerels to cull from a flock of twenty four 17-week old straight run blue, black and splash Ameraucanas. The farm from which I bought them has been concentrating on "bluer", larger eggs.

Thanks in advance,
Kibi

Dan,

I couldn't find any photos of splash wheaten pullets, but they should look exactly like your wheaten and blue wheaten pullets except there would be white on the feathers where there is black or blue in the others. The birds will still have the wheaten color all over their bodies.

I can tell the chickens love you as much as they love me by looking at the scratches on your arms!

Thanks for the quick reply, Christie!
I have tons of pics of the flock already posted in my albums (https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/album/view/id/6235632/user_id/134826), but I'm going to have to get some individual pix of the cockerels before we can really start talking. I also need to get a copy of the APA SOP, ASAP.
I'll post soon - I have an interview in few minutes.

URGENT! I can't find her number at the moment, but if anybody sees Denise on the boards let he know she's been hacked.

I've already called her and she knows.
