Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Does anyone have a nice peacock line wheaten cock or cockeral
for sale?

Beautiful art work!
I believe we both hatched B/B/S Ameraucana from the same breeder and had the same hatch date....so our chickens are very likely related and the same age. I have pics of my black roo post # 14391. There's a pic of his eyes. Are yours the same color? I wish I knew what reddish bay looks like. Are your hens laying yet?

oh my gosh I love it. I am printing off your post to add to my folder.
I think I have really found my next passion.
I own a very successful salon and do nails. But I don't just do regular nails. I have traveled the world teaching the unique style that I do. I have people all over the world who have subscribed to my nail education site and know who I am. I work for a major nail company and distribute their products. I teach classes all the time for nails. My work has appeared in countless magazine articles.
Do you ever feel like you have gone as far as you can? Like all your goals have been met and there is no more challenge? I sort of feel like that with nails. I still love doing it but strangely my drive in this field has waned. And let me tell you nails is something that has consumed my mind for many many years.
Here is a pic of nails that I did on myself. It is art...not practical.



I am going to be 43 in one week. I think my goals are shifting. Chickens are replacing nails as my obsession. Is that crazy? How opposite could you get?? I can't help it. Chickens is almost all I think about! My clients think I am crazy. My husband and kids love it because chickens is a hobby I do at home... nails is something that takes me away from home...far from home.


Sooooo...
I am trying to find some blue andalusians... I am so excited! Can you imagine a blue ameraucana with lacing like a blue andalusian? A project like this could take years!

In the time it takes I can train my eyeballs to know what I am looking for to breed toward the SOP.

How funny! I saw your post and thought if I didn't know better I would swear you had posted a pic of my bird Spike, in the very same pose. A dog got this boy. My oldest cockerel now is his brother Rudy. Yes Rudy does have the same color eyes as the boy you posted. They are sort of dark. I think they are in the "reddish brown" color zone but a little on the dark side.
Looking at the bird in this photo his eyes seem like they were kind of yellow....hmmmm Maybe we could get an eye color chart like the egg color chart? lol!!

My hens are not even thinking of laying. lol

My hens aren't laying yet, either. I would say the pic of my roo's eyes are reddish brown, but they might not be the coveted bay....sigh.

Here is a pic of one of my hen's eyes. What does bay look like?

That's what *I* call reddish bay, Penny.
Christie! Those nails look dangerous. Beautiful, but dangerous --- I'd be afraid I'd accidently hurt myself.

O good! Most of my black hens and my black roo has that color eyes. I need to get better pics of the blue hen and roo. Should they be reddish bay, too?

That sure looks like what I would call reddish brown. I went in and stared into Rudy's eyes... It made him uncomfortable by the way. Lol!
but I think his eyes are a little darker than your birds.

What do you get when you cross Wheaten and Lavender?

What do you get when you cross Wheaten and Lavender?

Black leaky birds that well resemble Brown-Red.
