Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Nicole01]

I can't thank you enough for your help. I'm looking for nice birds that my children can show to win. This is my whole intention.

My intention is not to buy mixed breeds at a very high price to be given away.

I have a set of Paul Smith's bloodline from a local breeder. They have not hatched yet.

I think the point is that if you have his birds and mate them the offspring become your line and you shouldn't attribute them to anyone but you. In this case some eggs were attributed to Mr. Smith when he had no say in the mating. Neither set of those eggs were his.

Oh i see ok so when i get my chicks from him and i breed them together because i will be breeding Black to Lav to create splits to get more lav i should never mention they came from him???

If you wanted to say they were your line created from his birds you'd be doing him and yourself a favor. Live with your successes because you made the breeding choices. But, by the same token don't make a breeder live with failures because of your breeding choices. I will have my lines created from quality breeder's stock. Hope I'm saying all this correctly.

Ok... Your point of view is heard. some people share your view and some don't. No need to attack each other in something that does not improve the knowledge about the breed or the peacefull sharing of information is needed here. So let's pass the page on this. Pleaseee...

I don't have ameraucanas but have some of the peachicks eggs in the battor and they are developing great. So soon I hope to have some ameraucanas running around. If they hatch I plan to be a over protective parent. I'm so happy!!!!!. If you have chicks or hens from these breeder please share them with my so this incubation wait is more bearable.

I have been reading the thread just learning what I can from you...so thanks!!!

It's discouraging to hear breeders speaking this way. You ARE saying all this absolutely correctly. I can only hope more people get it. It is the only way the breed will move forward in a positive way.

This is

See i have already experienced this myself with the marans breed. I purchased some chicks supposedly from the Bev Davis and Wade jean lines and when they grew up there are only good to make EE with LOL so now i get what you mean. I would never say those birds are from those lines etc.. and this breeder actually has that on her website to promote her birds. The eggs they came from are nice but that's it. I mean all chickens have faults to a degree but what i got was more than that as far as SOP.


So now if i want a specific type of bird i am going to go to the source not so and so that say they have birds form so and so LOL

I need a wheaten rooster like you wouldn't believe. I have 18 hens/pullets from 2 lines and one blue wheaten rooster. I am considering buying hatching eggs just hatch a roo! Funny thing is, the last time I bought hatching eggs hoping for a cockerel, one egg hatched and it was a pullet.

Oh! I wish you were closer to me... I have 5 Wheaten cockerels I need to place. If you have plans to come to New England in the near future let me know! They blood lines are John Blehm and Nonesuch Farm. Gorgeous boys, but too many of them!
