Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

From what I have been told, the colors on this chart are for reference only, so that people in 2 different places could compare colors to a common guide.

I's NOT all the colors allowed for Ameraucana eggs. From what I understand, Ameraucana eggs should be blue.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.....

You are right .

Hallo ameraucana people, i was wondering how the barred Ameraucana project is going, and wanted to share some info,


I saw that some breeders try to make a barred color ameraucana but the Barring gene has a domininant resecive gene of yellow leg offspring so i did an experiment here on the island of Aruba. And found out that by crossing a purebreed barred rock rooster to a black or black spotted white or white spotted black with pinkish white leg Aruban jungle fowl, will give u 100% white legged-barred color offspring, good source to make the barred Ameraucana most want, so find out around if you can find some pinkish white jungle fowl near your home or state in black color or similar as i did mentioned and use the barred offspring roosters to black and white ameraucana ( may use White ameraucana with silver gene) purebred and use the same methode of the making of legbars to breed u should and up with nice slate color barred ameraucana offsprings at F3 then use F3 offspring rooster to black ameraucana to make the blood line good

Hope this help a bit I am on that project right now i will post pictures in about1.5 year i wish u all the best with the project.

And sorry i cant send eggs to the US, only method if u travel with them as ilegal entry to USject

What about where the guy took blue ameraucanas that layed blue eggs X with a black copper Roo and ended up with 1/2 light brown egg layers? I don't get it!

My guess would be the ameraucanas only carried one copy of blue egg gene. In other words, heterozygous. Other copy was probably white.

So how do you know if the ameraucans you buy carry two coppies of the blue gene? I guess the only way to tell is test mate!

We have wheaten/blue wheaten and lavenders directly from Paul. Here is a picture of some of the birds we received, as well as offspring that we have hatched. Hope this helps you some. Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions!
