Yup, Norm here (short for "Abnormal") and his sisters are from Phil, last years Hamilton show. The girls are quite nice wheaten and blue wheatens. Most notably, they lay the most vibrant blue eggs that I have ever seen - simply magnificent egg color.

Here's a pic of his sister so you can see that they are quality bred Ameraucanas.

And, because I simply cannot get enough of looking at these eggs...... the two eggs on the ends are from Norm's sisters.

You would be hard pressed to find another white[?] [or wheaten for that matter] with any better shank color than Norm's! IMO just a nice bird period. Is it my eyes/monitor, or is he cream colored more than white? What colors of EE has he been over, and what color did the chicks hatch and feather out?
Thanks for sharing, and please let us know the outcome of putting him over his related wheaten hens.

Pretty Chickens and eggs. I got 6 Ameraucana's yesterday so the grandkids could see blue eggs. I also picked up 2 speckled sussex, and 3 blrw's.
Don't know how to post pictures or I'd show you my Ameraucana's

Regarding "White Wheatens", a friend up here has what she calls "peach faced white" EEs. They came as a mixed color batch of purebred Ameraucanas from someone on BYC. The original Peach Face White hen lays a beautiful blue egg, and consistently reproduces her color in her offspring. I just saw a young roo that looks ALMOST all white now that he's grown out, but his sister from the same hatch is still peachy in the face, but pale cream over the rest of her body, as are most of the hens. Could this be the same thing?

Here is a picture of one of the buff cockerels I sold last fall. He went to his first show this weekend. He turned out very nice.

On the peach faced white ameraucanas, there was someone trying to make a "salmon" color a few years ago.

Are those the pure or second generation split to black??? I can't remember. Which ever they are, they have hatched like popcorn so far this year, not a problem with one of them!

Also, is there anyone here working on Mahogany/DEEP Red Ameraucanas?

Not exactly sure which ones, I got them as you had just separated them back into pure and split pens. They have split written on them but you had just seperated them so I don't know which pen they came out of. I just have make sure I mark any that come out black so I don't get them mixed up with my BBS. What is the best way to mark day olds?​

And the reason I got eggs from you for New Years was with the hope that I'd get one... no such luck..

BUT.... I have a blue wheaten roo from your eggs that will give Geoffry a run for the money... He is GORGEOUS and I can't wait to see how his hackle feathers color out.

A little early still, but they all look like pullets to me.
