Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[TK Poultry]

Thanks I am I'm very excited hopefully this is one of many. I love that little pullet. I'm on the hunt for a new roo because mine is mean as a snake and like turned on me over nite! I've found that Ameraucana roosters are either really gentle or just turn on you. I'm getting ready to send some emails out. I want one with a good beard and muffs mine really doesn't. I also want one that has a calmer personality so when I take him to a show he shows well.

Congratulations greencastle_ducks!

I posted a while back about any nice started LF Black pullets anybody may have for sale but didn't get a response. Does anyone have any nice LF Blue pullets they might want to sell? That way I can breed for blacks and blues with my Black Ameraucana roo.

I don't have any actually I'm on the market for another BBS trio actually. You may be able to go on the ABC forum and see if anyone has any for sale there. Are you looking for LF or Bantam I only have bantam and probably won't sell any eggs until sometime next year or even later than that

Congrats! It's always cool to hear how others do when showing their birds, I know my DD was on cloud 9 when she won champion standard at our county fair this year with her Blue Andalusian pullet(first time showing) so I can imagine how you are feeling!

Thanks but no I'm looking for LF. I'll add that to my post above.
I've contacted a couple of breeders from the ABC's breeders list but no luck so far. I'll keep going.

I would suggest going to the ABC forum or the ABC Breeders Directory find a breeder that has what you are looking for and email them. I sent out so many emails looking for the ones I have. Good luck! I wish I was more help. If I find any close to you I will definatly PM you.

I got an egg from my Wheaten or BW pullets today!
I'm not sure which yet, they're all very red in the face, they were 5 months (20 weeks) on the 1st.
These were hatched from pips&peeps eggs.

Without flash. (Kind of blurry, sorry.)

With flash.

awsome egg color! Hopefully our girl will lay eggs like that-she was hatched late April 2010 so is just about 5 months!

I have chicks due to hatch Sept. 17th from Pips and Peeps. They will be Lavender or Lavender split (I think black?) so as soon as they are old enough to tell the gender I might have some extra pullets. I live only an hour and a half from you.
