Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[delisha]

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some recent pictures of my Ameraucanas!

Waffle
Pancake

Would these be considered paints?

They are white with black spots, and the odd brown feather on the roosters. If it helps, the person I got them from has, wheaten, black, and lavender roosters, and wheaten, black, white, lavender, and silver hens. All pure ameraucanas

No, if they haven't been breeding paints, they just don't "pop" out of nowhere. They are easter eggers; if they are don't breed true 50% of the time they are ee's.

I'll still hatch the eggs next year, as I'm curious of what the offspring will be. It really doesn't matter if they're none standard ameraucanas, since they were probably going into a pen with my EEs.

I have one wheaten cockerel and four blue wheaten pullets. I would like to breed them next year and I was wondering what color the offspring would be. I thought it would be 50 wheaten and 50 blue wheaten but one of the recent posts mentioned a splash wheaten. What would the percentage of offspring be then? Thank you for your help.

Splash Wheaten will not be possible with your current flock - you are absolutely correct. I saw this graphic on a FB list the other day, and it is very helpful to sort out B/B/S genetics.

Nice chart.

How are those chicks Dana?

Your ameraucanas are beautiful. Is pancake a blue wheaten?

Thank you!! I'm not sure, as I'm new to the Wheaten coloring. Maybe the experts could tell me? Her tail isn't black tipped like Waffle who I am assuming is a Wheaten.

Those are some pretty nice looking birds. Are they LF? Where did you get them from? They both look very promising. I'd love to see a rear view from Pancake. Hope you plan to dedicate yourself them and show them!

God Bless,

Thank you!! Yes they are LF, they are 11 weeks old. I bought them as day olds from a breeder near me, Unionhill Ranch. They were (IMO) very expensive chicks so I am glad they look promising! My son does want to show them. I took some better pictures of Pancake today. (Including Lila the photo bomber!)

Nice chart.

They are growing like little weeds, and are really nice so far. I have 15 blue and splash chicks shipping out from Paul Smith today, so I think Project Ameraucana Part Two is off to a fabulous beginning...
