I have a couple of questions. I got some white ameracauna chicks that I hatched from a well known breeder on the ameracauna site and byc.
Now I hatched five lovely chicks. They are pure white except one which has a grey or blue hue but the feathers are coming in white. Two of the chicks have yellow legs where the other 3 have slate blue legs. I thought ee's had yellow legs. They came from the same flock so why does some have yellow and the others blue. I don't care they are all beautiful birds just wondering.

hmmm, did you ask the breeder? a good breeder knows all the "flaws" in their lines (usually) and as long as you are nice I am sure they will tell you

I was told (by Jean) the better whites will be greyish when they are chicks. I had both yellow and greyish looking ones hatch. The leg color will get darker as they get older.

Blue and lavender are two different genes; just because a blue is light and has little lacing does not make it lavender.

5 roos and 3 girls

At least I will have a BW roo out of the deal- so I'll have all 3 wheaten colors of roos.

But- I just hatched one beautiful wheaten chick from my own eggs and she's adorable! I misplaced my camera in all the moving chaos, but I'll get pics soon. She has a tiny little "!" on her head, and keeps pecking at everyone's face, including broody cochin mama. Too cute.

A nice blend of two of our finer BYC Ameraucana breeder's stock.
I hatched Blue Ameraucana eggs from Jean last spring and have a nice cockerel I use, and took him to Seabrights Mom Heather Perkins girl, that she gave me last summer. I really like this breeding. Thank you ladies.

I sorta like the color of this girl. She is an early January hatch from the same pair

She will never let me pick her chicks again!

you have your own little chick now-we have a long wait since I sold my blue wheaten roo and my blue roo.Will have to wait for this baby boy to grow up and I'm sure I have one or two out of the latest batch...I'm hoping at least for a few.
Today was so hectic made the older kids a new home with their own playground.So new chick pictures coming tomorrow.
