Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[pips&peeps]

It has a single comb, it is not an ameraucana. It may be blue or lavender, no telling since you don't know what it is.

I have a little blue cockerel guy who I think is just gorgeous. He is about 11 weeks old. What do you think?

I think he's gorgeous, too, but I might be biased. I have one that looks very similar, same color, same muff and beard. Where did you get him from? Mine came from Paul Smith.

Very nice!

I got him as an egg from a local breeder. She says Rockpaint and Smith lines. I can't keep him. I'm in a no roo zone.

Very nice!

If anyone in Calif needs a beautiful blue roo, or knows someone, contact me. I think he would be a great addition to a breeding flock, or good to show.

Sorry you can't keep him. I plan on keeping my cockerel. Yours has that same elegant neck that mine has. I'm a former dog breeder, and elegant necks on my breeds were a big deal. Don't know if it translates to chicken judging, though.

I finally got around to uploading pics of my black AM pair. they arent very good quality pics. And while I was trying to pics of the cockerel he got loose. I chased all around my barn in really tall weeds I need to cut down, through my yar, into a storage room in my barn and corned him, and caught him. In the pic of me holding him he is not very happy because I had just caught him. He likes to hold his neck feathers up at me when I hold him, but I was shocked that he didnt in the pic. They are somewhere between 4-6 months old, so they are still young. And at first I couldnt get the pullet to hold her tail up in the pic and then when I did get her to she layed down. And she isnt in a very natural pose becuase I set her on a cage in a tempoaray pen to take pics and she was all but thrilled. Anyways any opinons on these pics (i will try to get more). I dont know exactly what lines these came from. And dont hold back if they dont look good, you wont hurt my feelings, I would just like some more opinions. thanks!

Anbody have any opinions about these. Wether or not they are breeder quality, show quality. What could be better about them. If needed I can try to get some better pics in a couple of days.

I currently have a pair, Bentley and Oprah. I hope to hatch some nice babies from this pair.
