Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[scflock]

Thank you! I have taken so many pictures. They are seeing spots! Line up and mug shots! Paparazzi! It is going to be ruff picking out which ones to keep. I want to keep them all! I hope I don't end up with a lot of roosters. That would make it even harder.

Didn't you order marans from Julie? I may have ruined your odds. My 13 chicks are looking very much like 2 boys and 11 girls

Hmmm! At 4 weeks old your splash looks grey! I wonder if mine are going to be light with not much splash. I want one that looks like your rooster scflock!!!

My splash hens gained more "splash" as they matured.

Wow! I hope in that lucky! I have some coming from her later this season! Although I usually end up with 80% boys. I never have good luck!

I hope my splash chicks get good and splashed! I will love them anyways! They are so cute what is not to love! They have fuzzy faces all most as fluffy as the other end!!! Way too much info!!! lol

My Blue Wheaten (my avatar) finally layed an egg today after laying only 3 eggs for the year 2015 (last August). With all the possible thread advice of what might be causing her lack of laying for so long, I'm happy and relieved that it wasn't lice, mites, worms, peritonitis, internal egg-laying, or the multiple other well-intentioned suggestions of why she took so long to start laying again. I was relieved she wasn't ill - she's just not a prolific breed and I got some nice lovely patient advice from non-BYCers that these girls can take very long breaks. I don't mind since these girls really put out very big eggs when they do lay! I'm just curious as to how many she'll lay before taking another long break!

2.3-oz blue Amer egg, 1.75-oz white Breda egg, and 1.25-oz tinted Silkie egg.

My girl totally missed her second laying year with 3 eggs only. This is my girl's 3rd year and has a lot of make-up laying to do !!!!

My BW hens are some of my best layers in the AM group. @Mrs BachBach, my new little hens lay almost every day. They are the best, and beautiful, too.

I agree with you, I think that splash rooster is gorgeous, but I have learned here and elsewhere that the black is the much more desirable rooster

Do you have pictures of the Splash Rooster growing up?
