Bantam Ameraucanas

They aren't hatchery stock- you can't get true Ameraucanas from hatcheries. They are from eggs from Little Ameraucana Mom.

Yep! The first two lavs are Bill & Ted, lav #3 is Fluffy, and the blue and black are Barry and Shelly (diminutively named after the President and First Lady, who seem to have a sense of humor and I hope would not take offense).

I guess you can tell from the names who I thought was what. But before these little guys, I'd never seen a chicken up-close, so what the heck do I know?!

Just to be on the safe side, I've always called all of them "he" and referred to them as "fellas", so I would be happy if even just one of them was a girl.

Y'all keep saying they're girls, but I'm still a little too apprehensive to do the happy dance.

Thanks, bantamsrmyfav. Bantams are my fav, too.

Yea, I did the happy dance a little too soon on my precious polish, and now I have to give him away.

I must be seeing only pullets tonight b/c they all look girlie to me!

Silly me! I guess I should have asked from the beginning- why do y'all think they're girls? I shouldn't just rely on you guys to tell me these things, I need to learn to do it for myself.
