Chicken Breed Focus - Ameraucana

[Richmercury]

Hello again. Not blue colored eggs but nice turquoise color. It's a set of Cream legbar's in the incubator. 10 more days. New chix. These chix will be auto sexing by a yellow dot on the heads is what I understand. I'll find out soon enough. Put these one on your list too. They are so beautiful. The hens have a little feather crest or looks like a hair due. Fun fun.

My Wish List is so long now, I may as well say I want EVERY breed out there!!

I used to be the same way, but learning certain breeds are very flighty made the list shorter.

I'm pretty pleased with the flock these days

I got my first Ameraucana in 1977 when I was 10 yrs old. We had never seen one before, and thought it was a roo so we named it Gulliver. We changed her name to Girl-iver when she presented us with blue eggs! She was a Wheaten hen, and that is still my favorite color. My uncle brought us an old National Geographic with that crazy article about Araucanas. We never had another blue egg until I got some EEs from a hatchery in 1992, and again in 2002. Now I am waiting for my first true Ameraucana hatching eggs to arrive! Im so excited. It only took me 38 years.
I am glad people cared enough to preserve them!
