Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

I am new to chickens. My dad bought some last year. So this spring I wanted to add colored eggs to our flock. I read and read. I knew that most people selling Americanas were selling EE. So when I found out TSC had Ameraucanas I jumped on buying them....

Ended up with two silkies. So in my irritation I ended up buying two older chicks from the feed mill. Again lacking experience, they are both cockerels. The blue wheaten is beautiful. But ultimately I'm looking for pullets. I'm not sure what to do with them. I haven't had anyone interested in them. The auction is so traumatizing. I have a lovely Welsummer X cockerel in third pic that I was planning on keeping. So far he has a great disposition and has been good with the older hens (he is 19 weeks old). I don't really have coop room to keep enough hens for two roosters. We have a large coop for 15 and then a smaller TSC coop that holds 4-6 I think that I used to introduce the newbies (the AMs are currently in that coop). I'm having a hell of a time finding Ameraucana pullets. I really don't want to raise chicks this late in the year.

The last bird is not a Welsummer mix. That's a Partridge Wyandotte.
For Ameraucana pullets, have you checked out the breed directories on the breed club sites?

The lady I bought them from said his mom was a Welsummer. The pics of his dad look to be a Silver laced Wyandotte. These are the two pullets that grew up with him. Bought three chicks ended up with two girls and a cockerel.

A Silver Laced Wyandotte rooster would produce 'silver' birds. The pullets look right for Silver Laced Wyandotte/Welsummer mix, but that rooster does not have a the same parentage.
 
I will get pic also. Mine lay a baby blue egg and i would like to know what they are cause i was told aeracana and didnt know there was a difference. Thanks all for the info learn something every day from byc.

My handsome little cockerel

Young pullet who has a beautiful "U" shaped body but of course is never standing correctly when I try to get pictures of her.

That's too funny. They both have curious expressions, like they really want to know what you're up.
