Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Ravynscroft]

Sounds normal for me. I raised thirteen HRIR this spring, and nine of them are cockerels :/
At least with these, I wanted a pair of cockerels.

It never fails, does it?

My first Ameraucanas all turned out to be pullets, and couldn't find the right color or quality of rooster for the longest time... then when I did, he had leakage!

But my Calls I hatched all drakes my first try, couldn't figure out why people said they were loud...

My mom says she thinks it is an Ameraucana but im not so sure. The chicks look so much alike. I really want to find out if its is or if its an Easter Egger. The picture of it is above. Please help!

That's an Easter Egger, sorry... only 1 type of Ameraucana chick has that chipmunk stripe and the color is different, plus Silvers are one of the more rare types of Ameraucanas...

The only way to get true Ameraucana is to source from a breeder or order directly from either Meyer hatchery, Cackle hatchery, or MyPetChicken.com
Most hatcheries and feed stores sell Easter Eggers as Ameraucana. Happens to everyone at first.

I'll have to look there! Thank you. I have a plan to create fully crested Polish Easter Eggers that lay only blue eggs, and I'll need a couple different lines of Ameraucana chickens to do that

Yep , that's an Easter Egger (EE). The Polish Crested is cute too.

The EE could grow up to be very pretty. I have one that is gray with gold markings. Another that is black with dark, dark brown markings, and another that is all over the place with her markings. lol
