Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Marchick, I am hatching in an incubator. I've left it at whatever the air's humidity was until lockdown every time. I will try increasing humidity. And that is possible, though the eggs I got that he hatched from were pretty normal sized seeming. The shipping on those eggs was somewhat sub par. I got 3/8 eggs hatched, and two got eaten by a coon a month after I moved them outside. :( He was what was left. :T He's a great roo temperament wise. He never bothers me, even if I handle the hens and is VERY alert to hawks. Breaks up squabbles, keeps his ladies in line, gives them first pick of foods and such. From that standpoint he's a dream rooster.

I appreciate the help with this mystery, guys. :)

If your eggs are hatching late it could be a temperature problem also. I probably wont be able to reply my internet has been out and they are going to fix it wed. shocked its working enough to send a message! Good luck! I hope this posts!
 
Ok, here's the two breeder flocks :D

HES HANDSOME
Thank you...... he has been such a good rooster. Today he stayed with one of the pullets while she layed her first egg. Talked to her and worried about her. Every day he gets better at his job. I gave him away and realized what a good job he did after he was gone. The flock was lost without him. I went and got him back, rescued him from the chicken and dumplings pot. I am so glad I did.
 
My black cockerel. The blacks are my favorite.





Good grief, how much can he bench?

Will you guys critique my rooster? He is usually more up right then in the picture.
I'm very new to this myself, but I like the looks of that blue. Nice contrast from blue to black, and I like that long, tight comb. Nice muff. How old is he?
