Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[faykokoWV]

Got a few good pictures of my birds today. These are some of Peachick's offspring. I know he is Blue Wheaten, are the hens considered the same or would they just be Wheatens?

They are enjoying the snow. If anyone has hatching eggs that are in the A6-A8 color range please PM me with pricing and pics!

I can't answer your question, but your birds are very pretty. They don't seem to mind the snow too much. When I open the door in the morning, they make a bee-line for it, then they see the snow and it's a 12 car pile up at the pop up door.

The hens you have look to be Wheatens. Hens can be either, just the same as a rooster can be either.

Blue Wheaten hen (although you cannot see it on this one, they have blue tails and wing tips. They're also lighter and more uniform in color)

If you open up the wings you can see what color they are. I have posted these pictures before, but here you go:
