Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[samouw]

Check the American Poultry Association site and go to the Poultry Show Central.com link. Once there go to "Find it" link to find breeders. Easier than that, go to the Ameraucana Breeders Club site and go to the breeders list link. You can sort breeders by state. There are reputable breeders on this site, too. Check with:

@FowlStuff

just to name a few .

Perhaps you want to put your location in your profile so people can choose "good conscientious breeder" AND "close".

Good point
I'm ok on this thread, but there have been another one or two that I didn't want people to know EXACTLY where I was

So after reading half this thread, double checking the standards, hatching one offspring, and several phone calls ending in talking directly to the hatchery from which they came....here is my ameraucana roo. His side iridecant feathers go from black to green and blue and purple.

He is an Easter Egger, but that is not a bad thing unless you are trying to breed pure Ameraucanas.

He has a few Ameraucana characteristics such as muffs and beard, but he does not meet any of the "accepted" breed colors and his comb is pretty large for an Ameraucana.

I have a nice flock of Easter Eggers that lay pale aqua to green eggs, and that have colors and patterns that reproduce from father to son and mother to daughter. Nearly all have beautiful muffs and beards, they all have pea combs, and many have slate feet. But some of mine also have feathered feet. They are Easter Eggers and they are a nice part of my flock. This is one of my EE roos.

I don't think I was suggesting a street address, though that would make picking up birds easier

But if someone is CA wants to get Ameraucanas, they might prefer the birds not have to travel from the East coast if there are quality birds on their "side" of the country and vice versa. So even New England, Mid Atlantic, South East, etc is better than nothing.

So I have another ee that has feathered feet, is that common? The person I got him from said he was half copper maran.

Quote:
It depends on what they are crossed with. This roo crossed with those Red Sex Link hens gave me a son that looked exactly like him and two that were nearly the same. The roo is by a Salmon Faverolle out of an Ameraucana, hatched from a blue egg. The chicks he sires all have puffy cheeks, heavy lacing. When he mates the Cochin/Ameraucana EE hen, the babies have feathered feet. My other roo is by a Light Brahma out of an Ameraucana, hatched from a blue egg, looks like a Light Brahma except for a small comb and almost no feathers on the shanks, but when he mates the Cochin/Am hen, the babies have 4" long foot feathers!

These are some of my EEs:
