Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[sweetbeak]

Oh and Sweetbeak that looks like a pullet comb to me  

Thanks, in Australia we don't have much information on these chickens. I'll keep everyone updated on how she progresses

Need more pictures of the bird. Legs, overall color, shape, etc. But it does resemble a black.

I have four Ameraucanas that will be eight weeks old on Monday. One is black, two are blue and one is a splash. Here is the splash and the black along with my buff orpington. This pic is the orpington and all of the Ameraucanas.

It may just be the lighting of the picture, but your black one looks like a blue. Is it a grayish color or black? Gray is blue, black is black.

I know that grey is blue, but in comparing her to the two gray birds, I think she is really a black. The splash is very light, mostly white with a few black feathers. The other two are blue, one darker and one with a bit of black splashed in. Whatever colors they really all are though, they are turning out to be very pretty birds. In the pics below, the top one is the "black" with the lighter blue bird. All four amercaunas are in the middle picture with the splash in between the two blues and the darkest one off to the side.

Here is my dark bird, Sarah, who I think is a black.

It may be lighting but your black looks like what a blue should be and your others are splash. But I'm still a bit new to this

That is a blue, not a black

It looks like you have two splash and two blues in your top picture that I copied. The one you think is black is definitely a blue. Here's a photo of a dark blue chick:



Here's a photo of two black chicks flanking a splash. The fourth chick at the very top (you can only see the bottom third of the chick) is a blue. Blues can be very dark.

Hi, can anyone help me identify this young chicken of mine? I think I may have an Ameraucana and hopefully a girl. I live in Australia and there is not much information on these birds down under!

Thanks everyone.

Hi. I'm also in Australia. This looks like an Ameracauna pullet to me. I have not come across Ameracaunas in Australia I've only seen Aracaunas which is the Australian Standard Breed similar to Ameracauna but with a top notch.How old is she and does her comb only have one row of bumps?

hi, she's 8 weeks old and the comb is almost non existent, but what you can see is one very small row of bumps
