Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[dak]

My lavenders are really kicking in into high gear this season. All these years raising ameraucanas and I have never had such a productive flock. If I could just get the wheatens on the same track!

I think the fact that most Lavs haven't been tightly line bred yet, is aiding in productivity.

Mine still have a tendency to go broody though. I don't mind it- it means they keep laying through winter and less work for me hatching chicks.
Forgot to mention- those eggs are from a line that was outcrossed to Marans a couple years back.

Wow a marans? What good egg color! How is that working with the feathers?

 

[Goose and Fig]

It is working great. I kept some non-cuckoos from my project and they are al silver based, nice pale lav. The feathers are buttery soft and do not fray at the ends. I am still trying for a roo with the great feathers though. Maybe this time we'll get one.

Does any one own any wheaton amerecaunas?I need some new blood line.

I just recently got three ameraucana chicks, one is lavender, and I'm not sure about the other two. Here is a question, does three rows of ''peas'' automatically mean a rooster? If so, I have two roosters and one pullet
