Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

That's where my stock came from.

HappyMtn,
Thanks for the plug but my hens are moulting and what very few eggs I am getting are not very fertile. I did drop a trio off for sale at the Exotic sale today. They are long gone by now. I generally don't sell started or full grown stock.

Is there such a thing as a blue split? It seems there would be if you are crossing BBS and Lavender..........

This is a 1.5-2 month old roo. What kind is it? Blue Wheaten splash? (a board fell on him so he's in recovery in the house, along with 2 silkies and a Jersey giant)

That is a wheaten cockerel.

Yea! I didn't realize Wheaten cockerels would have that many colors mixed in the feathers. There was a possibility of Blue Wheaten, Wheaten, or Blue Wheaten splash in the eggs. Thanks

Most of the lav breeders are advising to stick with lav x black crosses.
Our Reasons
1. Blues might have underlying colors which may surface when combined with the lav gene.
2. Right now people really have a hard time distinguishing blues and lavs...by only breeding to blacks the confusion is minimized.

Ahhh- mine are the same. My splits are from Jean though.

Hi Harry! All my ameraucana girls are either molting or broody now too

Believe it or not- the cochins are laying the best in this 100 degree heat. Go figure!
