Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

If you're up for hatching- Tailfeathers is taking pre-orders for eggs- wheaten & BW. I found a lady in TN that will have BW eggs too. I'm getting some unless I end up really lucky with one roo and the rest girls

Halo has great eggs too- I had great luck with them

She does have amazing chickens. You can tell she breeds quality in all of her birds by the first glance.

I have a wheaten pullet I bought from AHappyChick that I believe has started laying. I've seen her in the nests, just have to catch her dropping one now!

I believe she was referring to Pips&Peeps. She does have beautiful birds.

Eggs are so so discouraging because of the USPS ........ when one can save their money and buy live birds .

true but sometimes there are no quality breeders in your local area so you would have to ship the birds/chicks....and the gets PRIIICCCY! The roo I posted above cost a pretty penny to get shipped from the west coast to the east coast. He's worth it

What a cool thread! Thanks Henry for starting it!!!! I have really enjoyed looking at pics of everyones beautiful birds.

Lets see if everyone can follow the history of mine. LOL!!! In April of 08' I hatched some chicks by incubator from Lori (Skeeter9) from her beautiful blue pair (Jack & Belle.) Lori purchased these blue beauty parents from Lynn(HenHaven), who got them as chicks from Cree Farms. I ended up hatching Miles the black roo, 2 black hens (Cricket & Anna Belle), 1 Blue(Bella) and 1 splash (Stella).

This spring 3 out of 4 Ameraucana girls went broody. I kept pulling them out of the nest box trying to break their broody cycle b/c they were sitting on infertile eggs hogging the nest boxes and not laying. I had my roos separated at the time. I was able to break 2 them, but Stella was very stubborn refusing to budge, so I purchased some blue Ameraucana hatching eggs from Don(nivup) for her to hatch. I kept 2 blues (cockerel & pullet) from this hatch named Emma Louise and Edwin.

I'll post some pics soon. Thanks everyone for sharing.
