Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

I have a 4 month old ee pullet and they are about the same size

Here is another pic

These birds are all about 2 years old. They should still be in their prime laying years.
Ok just a thought! Are you hatching in a incubator? If you are and the chicks are hatching small it could be your humidity. If your air cell is to big from not enough humidity then the chicks will be smaller. Also not all Ameraucanas lay large eggs and he could have come from a line that lay smaller eggs.

Marchick, I am hatching in an incubator. I've left it at whatever the air's humidity was until lockdown every time. I will try increasing humidity. And that is possible, though the eggs I got that he hatched from were pretty normal sized seeming. The shipping on those eggs was somewhat sub par. I got 3/8 eggs hatched, and two got eaten by a coon a month after I moved them outside. :( He was what was left. :T He's a great roo temperament wise. He never bothers me, even if I handle the hens and is VERY alert to hawks. Breaks up squabbles, keeps his ladies in line, gives them first pick of foods and such. From that standpoint he's a dream rooster.

I appreciate the help with this mystery, guys. :)
