Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[PoultryPedia]

I tossed a bad silver ameraucana egg testerday. I am set to hatch Friday. Our power was out yesterday however it was so hot in the house it was still at 99.5 when it came back on lol

Wow!

That's hot!! I'm glad it was a blessing for your coming hatch, though!

Yes... yes they are, lol, but so are my adults, so nothing changed

The only one who isn't a complete spaz is my rooster.

My rooster from a different line is the spaz and my hens are calm, but as chicks all were spaz's

Pullet or cockerel? She just grew a couple of peas on the posterior side of the comb (hope it shows up in the second picture). She's quite large and there is not a lot feminine about her although she doesn't have the pointed hackle and saddle feathers, redness to the comb that my (obvious) cockerels with the same hatch date have. Sorry for the bad lighting. Hatched April 1, pictures taken July 3, so three months old. Thanks

At 3 months I would say pullet.

I hope so. My son was sloppy with closing them in one day and my miniature Dachshunds killed three. Of the eight left, five are definitely cockerels, with one splash pullet and one wheaten pullet. This lavender would make the third pullet. I was hoping to have five or six pullets from the bunch. Next year I guess.

LaurieA,

The chick is an easter egger, not an ameraucana.

Really? He's the only one that will let me get within 5 feet of him. Yes.... the chickens are interesting, haha
