Anyone have pictures of Silver Ameraucanas

[SusanJoM]

I'm interested in seeing pictures of them somewhere around 8 weeks old.....
you know, teenagers....

In fact, if you pictures of your teen Blacks and/or Blues, I'd like to see them, too.

There are pictures of chicks and pictures of adults at Feathersite, but it's the no-longer-young and not-yet-grown-up ones I'm interested in seeing.

Thanks.

SusanJoM~ I think Ameraucanas go through an ugly teenager stage. They loose the baby fat fuzzy faces before getting their adult faces. I don't know how to describe it very well. I can take some pictures tomorrow. Pips&Peeps might have some pictures to share too.

I don't have standard silvers though, only bantams in that color. I think I have some black teenagers that I can take pics of.

i found these on my computer...

Here's one at about 10 weeks old:

This I think the same one at 6-8 weeks old:

Oh wonderful. Thanks, Sara.

I'm looking forward to you having eggs from those LF Lavendars !!!!!

Oh sure, I'll be glad to share them. I wont have LF lavenders hatch until spring because my LF lav are both cockerels, so I have to breed them to the split chicks I hatched. Pips&Peeps may be ahead of me because I think she got a pullet.

Well, that's probably a good thing as I already have at least twice as many chickens as I had planned on....

I think that's a typical problem

I don't dare count mine. I figure as long as I don't acknowledge the number there isn't a problem.

I know it's over a 100, but that's as far as I'll go. Of course I'll cull a lot once I go through them all.
