Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Just curious, how old are your chicks, Phage?
I am so nervous about finding out how many boys/girls I have, I keep looking for pics of Ameraucana combs.

Ooohhhh, well if they are that young, I take back what I said about the last one being a pullet. A 6-7 week old pullet wouldn't have that much red to the comb/face...

I took the pics tonight in low light and that made all the colors really intense. Not sure if that makes a difference?

OK would anyone in san Diego like the 2 blue wheaten ameraucana roos.
They are super friendly. 7 weeks.
Free to good home only (too nice for eating).

Too hard to know without seeing it in person then...

What worries me are the late bloomers. I would like if the roos all showed themselves at 7 weeks..
You have beautiful roos anyway (even if the last one doesn't turn out to be a pullet), Phage.

Yup, the Aracanas are rumpless. Ameraucanas have tails. Here's a great explanation of the differences: http://www.ameraucana.org/faq.html
