Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Don't forget me too! after the first of the year.

Sure thing! I have some young ones growing out that are really nice and will add more diversity- so its a good thing to wait a little bit

I still wish they'd start tomorrow though!

Oh and I agree with you, I just didn't want to seem pushy or rude asking the discussion to move elsewhere. Trust me, I want this thread to be about Ameraucanas not EE's

But sometimes I'm afraid to slap down the "this is the Ameraucana thread!" paper.

As per posting

- I think it's just that this thread isn't very active, and so in the time I check it, there's someone there to answer a question or something on. If people talked more about their breedings or shows or something I'd likely not talk as much.

So besides Jean, who's going to Indy?? I wish I could.

 

[Goose and Fig]

I'm not going, but I will have one of Jean's birds coming home from there with Dixieland

So Karen if you could go to the show...what would you bring? My DD has a nice trio of Wheatens she is just in love with

I just gave my last Silver Roo away (he's headed to freezer camp

) . I haven't put much time into learning about the Silver Duckwing pattern, but would think the first crossing would yield all blue and black chicks.

How did the Silver's grow out that you got from me? The last batch of LF showed weird feather patterns and all stayed on the small side. I didn't want to pursue raising and breeding them...they are my least fav Ameraucana.

Lost one of them, the other turned out to be a cockeral. I kept him and one I got from Jean. Not sure yet which will be the best to use for the silver line. I know I need a back up and I figured the other could be used in another project. They seem alittle skittish but not much worse than the other chickens I have. They do seem like they are on the small side, but I hope to work on that.

Couple questions about this, for the F1 X F1 would I want to only use the blue birds? Also in the F2 the ones that come out normal silver, would I be able to use them in my silver line or would that cause problems down the line? Same question about the blues that come from them?

Boy do I need to do some gentics research
