Blue Ameraucana thread!

[My sweet Americaunas]

I love our blue Ameraucanas,they are the best chickens! We have 3 hens and 2 are broody right now lol

They are so beautiful! I am new at this and I have 9 Ameracaunas and 1 Lavendar Ameracauna. I did have 2 Lavendar but one died. I don't know if it's from this Texas heat in the 100's. But my question is what do you mean by being broody? Thanks, Cheryl

Is anyone still breeding Blue Ameraucaunas? I live in MN and would love to add them to my flock.

Grabbed this girl today. Was told she may be a true Ameraucana but couldn't confirm. Got her for a song as he was so flustered, he begged me to take her (was there to get a blue marans pullet that turned out to be a cockerel). She's beautiful and seems very sweet. Think I lucked out and got a true blue. Said she came from a very blue egg. Approx 16 wks old.

We'll have to see what the others say, but the sleeker feathers look like hackle feathers to me, plus I've never had 1 lay at 6 months personally. This 1 is pinking in the comb at 5, which seems a bit early as mine didn't pink until right b4 lay at 11 months. My vote is male.

Wow! 11 mo?? I just got one that's about 16 weeks. Thought I'd only be waiting a month or two for my pretty blue eggs. Yikes.

I have 11 Easter Eggers that I absolutely love and I have an order from Cackle Hatcheries being sent Wednesday. I called this morning and changed 10 French Black Copper Marans to 5 Blue Ameraucana and 7 more Easter Egger pullets. My other Easter Eggers are now 2 months old and they have so much personalties. Can't wait to get the Ameraucanas.

How can I tell if my girl is not a girl?? She’s only 10/11 weeks old, a bit bigger than her sister, darker in color and boy at times she sounds like she’s really trying to let out a cockle-doodle-do. she also is the first to stand up to the older girls in the flock. I’m going to be super bummed if she’s a he, I got her for the blue eggs~ (I merged 2 smalls groups that were 4 wks apart) these are all the same girl, color differences are flash related
