I don't have a blue wheaten hen she is regular wheaten. but i do have a blue wheaten roo. Mine are bantams

Thanks Bunches!!! Nice pics!

those look like LF to me....

well the roo is small compare to a LF but he is probably bigger than a bantam. Im guessing the parents had bantam in the background. They're in between, ill hatch some eggs and see what comes out. but i definitely wanted LF

Does anyone have any clear pics of their Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas? I'm looking to get some this spring and from what I've seen I love them but I haven't found very many pics that were clear. I love outdoor pics as it give me a clearer idea of what they'll actually look like. My DH says he'd like black but I'd like to show him a good pic of the blue wheatens and see if he wouldn't like them as well. Thanks!

The chick is only about 6 weeks old here I think. Definitely a rooster! The larger rooster is not mine. Just a pic I downloaded a while ago because I liked it. Back when I thought my EE roo was an Ameracauna.

haha okay i can definitely see the difference now. these guys have that bantam pigeon trait and mine have the dull chicken look. do you know if bantam were created by using bantam breeds or just bred smaller and smaller every generation?

Hello! I am thinking about getting some Wheaten Ameraucanas to add to my current flock. What sort of personality should one expect with a true Ameraucana? My current flock consists of Dominiques, Marans, and two Swedish Flowers. Any info is appreciated!

I have not found them to be aggressive or very flighty. Some are friendly and inquisitive, others tend to avoid. I think it just varies depending on how much contact you have with them on a daily basis. I have a rooster I can walk right up to and pick up while all the other males do their best to escape me. They all calm down once caught and held. The same can be said of the hens. Some are nosey and under your feet, others keep their distance. It really depends on what the breeder has been doing. If they have been breeding aggressive birds, some of the offspring may be aggressive also.
