Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[marchick]

Boy!...I'm sure wishing I would have ordered 20 now! The DH would probably hit the fan..! I hope ordering 5 of 3 different colors will give me a good start. The important thing to me is that their nice quality birds! But I can always get more later. I am really hoping for one NICE black cockerel out of the 5 blacks. Also a good blue wheaten cockerel would be GREAT! And I'm pretty sure he tries to take them out of different pens. . The waiting is KILLING me! Lol! I told my DH who knows? If the weather stays in the upper 40s & 50s maybe the whole bunch will start laying early!

I am sure you could add more to the ones you ordered!

Nope. Chickens are mine, I hatch them, I process them, I cry.

Wouldn't ask DH to do it, he just tolerates my chicken hobby.

That was just a joke! My husband doesn't mind doing that! He does the part I don't like to do! Then I do every thing else! It works good for us! I would rather sell them then butcher them anyways!

Chances are you will get a few exceptional roosters from Paul that will help correct some problems with your hens. I'd scrap all the roosters you have, but keep your hens just to see what they throw

Ours are ours. That means I hatch them, house them, and feed them. She picks up the supplies and tells me not to process her pets

Well, Here I buy all the feed, supplies and do most of the work! We work together to do the pens. My egg money goes to help buy feed! If I sell any birds he gets the money! He is happy and I get to keep doing what I love! It's a win win to me!

I have both bantam and large fowl silvers.  I rate them for several characteristics on the FAQ page of my site.

There have been improvements in both the size and temperament of the LF in the last couple years.  http://ameraucanaalliance.org/forum/index.php?topic=215.0

Thank you! Somewhow missed that looking at your site on my phone, lol... really appreciate the breakdown of ratings for each variety and size!

I wonder if there is a chart that has all the other Ameraucana varieties?
