Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Lrkel]

Does anyone know Madelynbelle personally? I've been waiting ever so patiently for her to come back online to see if she's getting eggs yet. This is going to be my last attempt at wheatens. Unfortunately I'm thinking seriously of abandoning them entirely and going with cream legbars.

Here's a few pics of my almost 6 month old Ameraucanas in the grow-out pen...comments/critiques welcome!

Going to hijack the thread for a minute to wish our own pips&peeps, Jean, a HUGE congratulations for Best in Show at the PNPA with your Sebastopol geese. (Heard it through the Silkie grapevine ....). Truly, my heartiest congratulations!!!!

Is he a true ameraucana? I've been looking for a true wheaten or blue wheaten roo but all I seem to find local are ee.

What color are the bottom of his feet?

The owner says he's not sure. He can't tell if they are white or very pale yellow. It's a 2 hr drive and I don't want to make it for nothing.

does any one know why my aracona is not laying at 24 weeks?

I definitely don't have the eye or experience that Jean does but my thoughts .... legs aren't convincingly the correct colour, he is seriously U shaped and he really doesn't convince me he has "substance". White fluff at the base of the tail also gets my attention. None of this says he isn't "true" Ameraucana but even me being in Canada with very little to choose from, I wouldn't be racing out to buy this boy.

(Just me being my grumpy, critical ole self ....

)

This might not be the right thread to ask that question ....

Get him to send you pictures of the hens/pullets... if they are EE then he is an EE. I would not buy him... his legs are looking very green and I don't like the looks of his lower hackles.
