Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Any Ameraucana folks planning on attending the Four Corners Poultry show in Farmington, NM this weekend?

Question for all you who know chickens. I had two chicks who had big heads like this one. Both died within the month. They just failed to thrive. Just stayed small and grew only a few feathers. I noticed they both had larger heads than the other chicks (who are doing great and thriving) Is this something that has a name? Can anyone tell me why these chicks died and what caused it? Thanks for any help.

Could someone give me guidance as to whether this pullet has too much shafting in her breast or if it's okay? She's my lone silver pullet and is quite friendly as a result. 6 1/2 months old (hatched Easter Sunday). Her tail is lower than normal in this shot because my Jersey Giants were milling around beneath her and they make her a bit leery. Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know. It could of been something during incubation. It could be a congenital condition?????????????????????

He looks pretty nice to me except his tail angle is too high.

thx for commenting! Hopefully these pullets can help fix that with the offspring would he be worth showing or wait and see what the offspring looks like?

So, does this pullet look like a Silver Ameraucana or just an EE? She is suppose to be an Ameraucana. Opinions please.

The green legs SCREAM EE... sorry.

Actually they are not green. Must be the red heat lamp that distorted the colors. Other than that, what about the rest of it? I will take more pics in the daylight tomorrow and post again. By the way, DM, sorry about your lost over these cold days.
