Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Sorry for kinda poopy pictures, this chick didn't want to cooperate... it was more interested in taking a nap in the warm sun, but is this a Splash Wheaten cockerel?

Please say yes.

I sell laying hens for $45 each.

Wow. Here those would go for about $30-ish.

Is that a 'California' price, do you think? I am in the midwest. I would LOVE to get that much for my girls!

Maybe

People here will pay it though, especially for blue egg layers.

I honestly wouldn't sell for less than $25 a bird, especially if you have quality stock.

This is a GIRL about 4 weeks old. See how she doesn't have any big black or dark blue splotches? Just a little bit blueish underneath. I didn't happen to have any boys that hatch. So no pics That I can find in my old uploads yet.

A little early still, but they all look like pullets to me.

Thanks for the info. I just can't believe I could actually get so lucky on my first shot! I really appreciate you taking the time to check them out for me.

Jeremy-
I've never seen an SW quite like that- it looks to be more "orange" than the red that I usually get. If I had to guess though, I think you're right about it being an SW roo. Can't wait to see how that one feathers out!

One of my black Ameraucana cockerels has developed a few rusty feathers in his hackles. Is this a really bad fault?
