Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

He looks pretty nice from this angle, I'd like to see a shot of him from the side.

I like him too. I am not sure of his tail, we need a side pic

I will take a few more pictures tomorrow. He does have a wayward feather in this picture, it was snaped in the middle of a meal worm chasing frenzy. But yes. I was wondering about his tail

All should feather white.Ameraucanas are usually recessive white but there are also some dominate whites around.Dominate whites hatch yellow.Recessive whites when based on black hatch smokey.Recessive whites can also hatch white and even yellow depending what color is under the white.2 copies of recessive white can turn any color to white.Legs should darken as they get older.My guess is they are a diverse gene pool of recessive whites.Some may be based on wheaten as wheaten hatches yellow.Hope this helps.

This helps tremendously. Thank you very much.
I am just starting out. Appreciate any and all information offered.

Here are a few more pictures of my cockerel. He is about 6 months old, maybe a little less.

I'm not liking the tail angle at all. It is supposed to come off the back at a 45 degree angle

That's what I was thinking. And he is the only roo I have. UGH!

It looks like he is stretching to see what is going on in the distance, may be throwing the angle off. Try to get him in a natural stance.

I put him in a pen he is not firmilar with to try to get a better picture. LOL He freaked out.

Here he is in his own run and a lot less annoyed with me

Still look high and with an abrupt transition over the saddle. I like his comb. What line is he? The best pic would be directly from the side, but they rarely cooperate.

Yep he's terrible! Send him packing...... to me =D

I really like his comb, muff/beard and coloring. His tail is lacking a little.....it seems he is missing tail feathers.
