Adorable! And you could always post on this thread.....we love our breed and all those who love it. You don't have to be an owner to be a fan.

Awe!!

I hatched out 4 W AMs from NoseyChickens, but one got his beak in the water pot in the Brinsea and drowned so I have 3 now.

They're almost a month old now.

They are a smaller large fowl. The lavs in particular (mine anyway) are kind of slow at first and then they eventually catch up. I haven't weighed all my birds, but my lav and wheaten hens look the same size, but my lav roos look bigger than the wheaten and black roos. Might just be because they are a solid colo, or have that orp fluffiness- not sure.

I have 2 week old Blue/Black and Splash Ameraucanas - all smaller than my EEs and my BCMs. Eggs were smaller too.

The standard calls for 4 1/2 lb pullets, 5 1/2 lb hens; if your used to Delawares, Marans, nearly most large fowl in fact, they're going to seem small even if they meet the SOP weights. Egg size could stand improovment in most lines [IMO]; but egg size and numbers probably rank low, if at all, in most people's minds as things to work on.​

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. Ms. Fluffy Puffy, can I see some pictures? The Ameraucana was the first breed I wanted and they are the last chicks I will get this year (hopefully

). Hope to learn more from all of you.

Some time ago, some people asked when I was going to auction my White Ameraucana's eggs. My bator is full now, with the first of a continuous weekly hatch due Wed., and then Sun. after that. I can fill an order for 12 + between my own sets.
