Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[MrsBachbach]

Okay I need some help here, I have quite a number of suspicious "chicks" lol a few of et are rues, others I'm not so sure on.

Extremely suspicious birdy #1

Bird #1 is a male. Bird #2 can't tell. Lighting not good enough and can't see clear picture of comb.

This is a massive thread with some very beautiful birds posted. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could recommend where I could purchase hatching eggs? Now back to page 1.

Here is the link to the breeders directory at the Ameraucana Breeders Club : http://ameraucana.org/docs/breedersdirectory_2015.pdf

This is my five day old Ameraucana chick. Can anyone tell me if they think this is a pullet or a cockerel. I don't know if you can make it out that it's got little tiny tailfeathers don't see anything else to give me an idea. If it's a Cockrell and it turns out to be a nice bird I'll just make it a no Crow collar. I made one for the rooster that I have that's an Easter egger and it works just great. Anybody got any thoughts on what sex it is?

Feather sexing doesn't work for Ameraucanas, sorry... way too young to even guess on gender...
Also, legs look greenish and color doesn't look SOP, so I'd say that is an EE as well...

I was assured by the girl that breeds these chickens that these are Ameraucanas. She was upset that I would even ask her if they were EEs. The legs don't look green to me so maybe the picture is throwing you off,

Just curious, but what color does she say they are?

I'm seeing some green tint also, and usually they have some cream in their chest and wing tips so it doesn't look like most ameraucanas of that color. As far as the sex it is way too early to know anything for sure, but my guess would be a male. It looks like it has some pretty stout legs and comb looks a little prominent. It just stands like a male is what I think.

Lots of people order "Ameraucana" from hatcheries, breed them, and sell the chicks as pure Ameraucana. They insist that they have Ameraucana because that is what the birds were originally sold as. The fact is that they had Easter Eggers all along. Did she tell what color, specifically this chick was? If she can't tell you exactly what you are buying, she doesn't have pure birds, or she's not a very good breeder.
