Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Fyremare]

I love my Silver LF's. Am kinda sad I sold some of them as youngsters last spring. I only have a trio left that hopefully I can get some more from this year. Hate the learning curve.

Is anybody besides me having problems with the Subscriptions Page? Looks like everything changed. I'm subscribed to several threads and under "Edit My Subscriptions" it shows me supposed to get immediate email notifications but under "Activity" is says I'm not subscribed to anything.

Anyone else having problems?

God Bless,

I recently purchased ten straight run chicks from them , absolutely top notch and very helpfull. I live in Arizona and was able to see where my girls came from, absolutely beautiful stock and highly recommended. Very healthy as well

Really beautiful bird! I'm not an expert, but he looks great in every way, even his comb! NICE ONE!

My comment was for the White Ameraucana

Here are some cockerel pics.First one is out of a golden/light brown project and shows the red shoulders that can plauge silver in any breed.The next 2 have clean shoulders.Tried to get a pic of one with white in the breast but it didn't show in the pic.Silver can be hard to get right.Some will show a little red but look ok at a distance,As you can see photos and and posing are not my talent.

Since she has some salmon in the breast she is just a cull silver.She is reportedly from my eggs.Which appears to be correct.A blend of John Blehm,Curtis Beck and others.Thought she might have been silver penciled as some showed up in a early hatch but the salmon in the breast says no.Blending different lines sometimes produces surprises.Johns silver bantams sometimes have a little red in the male shoulders.Curtis Becks silvers are always clean shouldered but produce some white tips in the breast of the male.Crossed the two hoping for good black breasts and clean shoulders.Got some but also got some with a little red in shoulders and speckled breasts.Variation in hen color also.Silvers have always been rare.Which is why bantam silvers have been created 3 times that I know of.Two times by myself and once by Mike and John as a joint effort as I recall.Their efforts are what is currently available.I have been concentrating on male color.I will have to post some pictures.Yes I also have a birchen project.This bird is not from that projectn

So as soon as I think I know something, I feel like I don't know anything again! LOL! Are these hens "off color"??? and how's the roo look? I wish his comb was a little smaller. Someone who knows, please evaluate them? I was going to pen them together in the spring to hatch more....
