Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Alaskan]

I have a blue wheaten cockerel over wheaten hens.  He has a very high tail set, but it is a start.  It was very difficult to find one.

Your website is very nice.....

But it looks like you only have standard size, not bantam.

It's been a while since I updated my site. I do have bantams.

Keep me in the loop!

My new chicks arrived this morning! I just love their cute little fluffy faces. I have six black, four blue and two splash from Paul Smith. One was trying to dig its way through the floor scratching for food. I love birds that want to find their own food.

I read somewhere that some Ameraucanas carried the genes that allowed you to tell their sex as day-old chicks. Is that true? How do you tell? My two splash have a dot on their heads and some of the blues seem to have dots.

Thanks.

I got my first ameraucana bantam egg today from a blue hen. It wasn't frozen either, about time. I will have to get my egg chart out when I get back and see what ones it is, that is if it is still in the fridge.

Still wanting brown reds.
