Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Ha,ha, I feel the same way and the other irritation is "Maran"

YES yes. Thank you for supporting me here. I have Marans so I am familiar with that one too.

I feel totally justified in my 'chicken crazy' now.

I just googled maran and marans and this is what Wikipedia came up with:

Maran is a title for exceptionally respected rabbis.

The Marans is a breed of chicken originating in France.

Guess it is Marans!!

Oh dear, I'm guilty there. I was wondering why some people kept putting an "s" at the end when talking about a specific bird.

Thank you for the clarification!

I have both Marans & Ameracaunas, but I am completely new to chickens altogether, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible, and this forum (with lovely people such as yourself

) is a God-send!

I have researched and am looking for local Pure Ameraucana chicks. I found some within an hour and half of me but I'm having a hard time deciding if these are Pure or not. Do these look Wheaten and the leg color?? Group shot What do yall think?? My goal is to eventually hatch Olive Eggers and I really want to add a blue egg to my color basket

I'm sorry, but they look like Easter eggers.

Pure Ameraucana chickens are really not all that easy to find. I've spent hundreds of dollars on hatching eggs for my Ameraucana's. Not all breeders have great quality birds either. My goal is to have nice egg color with a nice looking and social bird. I have mine as pets. My obsession is breaking the bank.

I do sell eggs, but for eating only. This pays for the feed and grains for my flock. I have other breeds for a colorful egg carton. Ameraucana's are my favorite breed. I joined the ABC just in case I decide to show them one day.

I have 2 sets if wheatens in my incubator right now. My first set is on lockdown and the others will hopefully hatch a few days after. This first set are the most beautiful egg color I've ever seen. I'll be keeping all the females. The second set will go to a new home since Im not too happy with the egg color. If my first set doesn't hatch, I'll try one more time through that same breeder.

You are so right. Ive emailed three breeders from the ABC and had NO replies yet. I also tried to get a hold of a breeder in Austin with NO reply. Im not in a huge hurry..i just want to get them before the kids start back to school in August and before it gets cold again!

I have had alot of response from breeders on the ABC. I also have ameraucana's in black split and lavender. I sell but only local pick up.

Nobody emailed me from the breeders list. I have more eggs than I can handle and am sending out chicks too.

I do highly suggest you buy from here or the breeders list. Many will ship eggs. Our mail carriers are very careful with hatching eggs as long as its advertised on the outside box and if the eggs are fresh, I've had very good luck hatching whatever breed it may be.
