Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

This guy got out of his pen one day last week and was running the edge of the woods. When I tried to hem him up and catch him, he''d slip back into the woods. As soon as I walked back to the house, he came out and jumped on the tote and crowed at me (like HaHaHaHaaa).

Lol! It looks like he is posing for a show!

What is the ultimate goal for crossing them? How many generations to get X ?

Lavender (isabel) Wheaten. It will take 2 generations to get what you're generally looking for, probably 4 to perfect it. I believe Chickenstalker right now has some actual Lavender Wheatens but is also still working with splits, possibly both in the black w/leakage sense and also in the pure Wheaten, split Lav sense.

S/he showed some photos earlier of a young Lav Wheaten cockerel, looking pretty so far but I can't wait to see photos of a full grown. The bird will look sort of like a Porcelain d'Uccle in color but imagine the breast solid lavender, the hackle, saddle, wings a very pale creamy yellow. Females will be a pale creamy yellow and white with lavender tail.

My hens are not even thinking of laying. lol

Well.... I take that back. Look what I came home to today!!


Could be any one of 4 pullets. I found the egg sitting next to the water dish. I put a nest box in and all 4 girls were very curious about it so I am gonna have to watch them close. The little egg is so cute! It looked like a little turquoise gem sitting there!
