Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[~whitetailcountry~]

This is our other Ameracauna "Ghost" she was given to us as well. Was told she was about 4 or 5 yrs old. Believe it or not she still lays also. Only when she feels like it though..they are a pretty greenish. And they are huge. She is very sweet and she likes to keep to herself.

Both those birds are very pretty easter eggers but not pure ameraucana

Agreed- on Ugly Betty anyway. I love her penciling though! I picked up 2 boring EEs (not pretty at all) on the hopes they'd give me some colored eggs. Both just started laying- brown eggs

I live for the day when some sort of penciling feather type becomes standardized and allowed into the Ameraucana standard. Some of the EEs I've seen have the most amazing penciling in their feathers. None of mine, of course....... but whitetailecountry, there is a thread just for showing off our beloved EEs and your hens will fit in marvelously. I LOVE the way "Ghost" looks! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=273489 Here is the link to the super fun Easter Eggers thread.

Hi there cutesy little guys-welcome to the world. Hey, that's not cedar is it?
If it is you dont want to use it with the pine shavings. It may not do anything
but it may affect their respiratory system or stress them and make them more vulnerable to disease.

Anyone who has Ameraucanas knows that other chickens sure like to play with their beards so post away-no worries. (0:

they are pine but unscented and that is all i had on hand at the time. i like to put straw in ther so they can peck at the seeds and things but with winter in full swing most of my straw is tied up other places until i get to the feed mill. but im not completely new to the interesting world of ameraucanas ive had LF and sold them and have been off the radar i am new to bantam ameraucanas though, but thanks for the welcome i doubt any of you remember me and my LF im just a no body still in the poultry world

Hun as long as feed stores and hatcheries sell EE's as Ameraucanas people will be making this mistake. I did the same thing!!!​
