Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

There is probably a good reason your best color is a clean face . With the focus on good lacing some breeders used blue Andalusion and not many years ago .

Yep makes sense. I had heard that.

Curious if those of you that have hatched blues have experience with this: have you found that the color of their wing feathers coming in is a good indicator of what it’ll be like as adults? Like it it looks like light blue wing feathers, are the odds that they won’t be great blues?

I’ve been searching all over for the Ameraucana thread. Finally stumbled on it. These are my bantam wheaten/ blue wheaten Ameraucana so far

I’m hatching eggs from a breeder in CT.

How do those eggs turn? Like a record on a record player rotates under the eggs?

My Ameraucana hen had 7 chicks. but the rooster was a Polish. Interesting looking mix I thought. 3 hens eventually laid green eggs.

The incubator is a nurture right 360, it rolls them like around like a marry go round. I have a non stick mat under the turner to roll them a little gentler as these are shipped eggs.

Ah ...thanks, never had an incubator like that.

So far I really like it, it’s sold at tractor supply. I love the view at hatching. This is my 4th hatch with it.
