Really, I've never heard of flighty or aggressive Ameraucanas except in Silvers.

Black bantam boys can get somewhat aggressive at times

My lavs are the friendliest ones I have, more so than my wheatens or blacks. Have to wait til the buffs grow up to find out.

Hi! I guess their personality reflects what they've been out-crossed to.
My Ameraucana are not overly friendly, but tolerate me. They freak if they hear a strange voice or if a stranger comes around.

I always assumed that since EE's are so flighty, so are Ameraucanas. Served me wrong!

My EEs aren't flighty- especially the ones I've made with cochins. Like Dipsy said- thier background can have a lot to do with it. Probably why the silvers are so not-people-friendly.

True. Mine is hatchery. Cochins... Well of course they're friendly!

Can you Ameraucana experts please comment on my post asking for help sexing my chicks? I got them from Jeremy.

My W/BW babies are so friendly when I put my arms in the brooder, they will fly up on my arms and sing me songs!

I feel so sorry for my wheaten Ameraucana. I have a cochin rooster that that considers her his "special friend" above all others and he abuses her! My white ones are fine as well as my Australorps, but that one hen has a bare spot on her back. I just have 4 hens for now but am getting 20 more chicks soon. I need them to come of age quickly so he can spread the love around a bit. Poor girl! I am an infrequent poster on here but saw the conversation about Ameraucanas being friendly or not. That wheaten one is kind of nervous but my two white ones are SUPER friendly. One tries to get into the car every chance she gets!
