Ameraucanas?

[ButtonHoarder]

Hey all, I have 8 Ameraucanas that I got as chicks last year and everyone thought they looked like Ameraucanas at the time, curious if everyone still thinks that? Also, how good of quality would they be considered? I know the blue cockerel and the splash aren’t very good because of their colouring. They all have pink feet.

Not an Ameraucana breeder by any means, but the black cockerel in the sixth picture looks pretty good to me.

The solid blacks look nice, that blue pullet is nice looking too.

The black pullet too or just the cockerels?

I will try and get better pics.

Could you get better pics of the black cockerel on the fence?

Yup. It’s dark now but I’ll try tomorrow.

Cull all the cockerels with autosomal red and gold leakage in the neck. I think that puts you to a splash and black cockerel. You could rotate those over the pullets to find which throws better chicks then cull the other. Go from there.
