Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[upthecreek]

Ok i saw your ad and bloodlines(very good) . Are you in Tennesee ? I'm in south Alabama - do you have a shipping box ? i have several . Wish i could get a chick box . Hope they are real healthy as it takes a lot out of chicks that age to ship .
How long will it be before you will be sure about the pullets .
Thanks ,
Shannon

I have 2 pairs for sale in the chicks BST section. The roos are wheaten, not 100% on the females yet.

I have a question regarding egg color. When I look at the pictures people post I have a hard time seeing if the egg is truly blue or if its more of a green. I've heard people say they have a blue egg, only to see the eggs and think to myself..ummm that looks green to me.

Am I correct in thinking that a green egg is a disqualifier for an Ameraucana? How do you tell by looking at a picture what the true color is? If I were going to take pictures of eggs myself, is there any way to show the color is acurate such as having a white card in the picture?

They just sold to the first bidder, JamesA. Going to cancel the ad. If you want chicks shipped- I'd go with Pips&Peeps. You're bound to end up with some really nice birds- and she is experienced in the shipping department.

The Ameraucana Breeders Club color chart shows colors that range from what I would call grey to green to blue with all shades in between. Some of it also is in the eye of the beholder. What I call green others call blue.

I believe though that ameraucanas are judged on form and standard and not on egg color.

The more I look at my Ameraucana eggs, the more confused I get sometimes. I think they look more aqua then blue or green. When I start getting cross eyed thinking you know, these eggs really look more green then blue, I go get one of my EE eggs...which are truly green....and the color difference is obvious then.

It's almost here, ship date for chicks from Blehm, and really, I don't care much what color they are. I can get some blueberries to eat them with if they are not blue enough

Germaine, your black rooster is gorgeous! My Scout had his base color bleeding through, but that was the shiniest black rooster I'd ever seen. Just loved the beetle green sheen on him!
