If the same age you have a cockerel and a pullet. They are d'Uccles not Ameraucanas. Nice coloring, mine has too much white

Looks like a cockerel and pullet, d'Uccle, not Ameraucana. Nice color. Age?? They start laying (usually) about 6 months. The pullet's comb is pink and will turn very red when reaching point of lay

We have a nice set of White Ameraucana Bantams and Black Ameraucana Bantams. We have been showing them and we are hatching out of them now. We also have a nice set of Lavender Ameraucana Bantam chicks in the brooder. Since we have so many chicks in the brooders and developing in the incubators, we will be listing eggs on Ebay from time to time. We sell under the name "xlboergoats" and all of our listings state that they are "From Poultry 2XL".

Hi all,
I just got a clutch of Bantam Ameraucana eggs hatched out by my broody Bantam Wyandotte. They are the sweetest little cotton balls! I am really looking forward to watching them feather out, and wonder what they will look like when they are out of the downy chick stage. Any words of wisdom as far as when/how to tell if they are male or female? (*I subscribe to the 'How to sex EEs' list, and I hope the tips & tricks I'm learning there for large fowl will somewhat apply to the bantys).
Thanks!

I'd been wanting for some time...just got a quad from Pips & Peeps and love them Here is my Peter Pan and his lovely ladies!

Those are gorgeous! Would they be considered wheaten hens with a blue/wheaten roo?

@xlboergoats
Hello! Is it too late for bantam hatching eggs from you guys? I tried looking on eBay without any luck.
(I'm in Texas, too)

 

[xlboergoats]

Where are you located in Texas? Our hens are on strike and not laying well right now. We have quite a few Bantam Ameraucanas in the grow out pens now. I hope to go through them in the next few weeks and get our show string selected. After that, we should have some juvenile pairs and/or trios for sale.

Thanks,
