Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

You guys want to see something?







Leakage!

What? Nobody is crying?!?! I love ameraucana breeders.

I think nobody's crying because people on this thread are interested in honest critiques that help improve breeds. You're too funny.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to matter how long you do it, or how many you lose...there's always at least some of them that peck their way into your heart, and it hurts when they are gone...

and Im sure it will only get worse the longer I raise them

A member mentioned on another thread that a bird in a posted photo had some leakage. There was an outcry from the regular posters. In fact, I was little concerned they would storm this person's home, pitchforks in hand. Things got heated and the moderators had to step in.

I appreciate that on this thread, and most others here on BYC, everyone can voice opinions and engage in debates with maturity and dignity. You guys are just a classy group.

On a much, much happier note, we had a little rain before I let my wheatens out for their free range time. I watched one girl find twelve worms in less than ten minutes. It was the coolest thing. It looked like she was making them appear out of thin air. If I decide to go fishing and need worms I now know who will lead me to them...

Pitchforks huh?

I see! I'm glad the Ameraucana forum is civilized
I wish I was at home when it rained today, I would of loved to watch my birds as well!

Tailfeathers, I understand the term closed flock. No new birds come in, and you work with what you got, in a nutshell..................So what if you keep getting undesirable traits, or you start to experience infertility, or so many other things that may happen??????????????? What if you cull, and you have nothing left????????? Do you keep breeding sub-par birds? That is when you have to scrap what you have done and start over, or you need to find a bloodline that has the trait you need to add, without sacrificing the positive things about your flock.

Of course all this is my opinion. I have raised several species of animals successfully. If poultry is different please let me know why
