Date sort Score sort
Im still editing pics. But all went well. I got about half the flock re banded and started to get Big Chicken. I have trained dogs and horses most my life and I KNOW its not the same thing but I do know that sometime you have to pull out the "tough love" tactic lol. She was nervous and of course I would not just chase her or lunge at her lol. But I walked to her calmly but firmly and picked her up. She squawked at me at first then settled down. I held her close till she settled and then handed her to my son so I could band her. All in all went well. She dint have any more trouble than my red birds do. Heck I have one red hen that pecks me lol. I got her band on and let her go out nice and calm. So now she has a pretty red "bracelet" and is marked as MINE! lol After a few hours when I went out to throw scraps she was in her same spot and even got in the flock more to get her share! I am very pleased. She does not appear to be any worse for the ware and I made sure I did it calmly but with authority. Also took the advice and let her out in the middle not at the end. Then tonight when I shut the coop up I went in and turned the light on for a few min and pet her again without picking her up. I did not mess with her enough to measure her pelvis or anything. It was not time for that. I dint not have to band her. I use the bands for the red chickens so I can tell em apart lol. and keep track of breeding and laying stuff. But for some reason it seemed important for me to do it.
I know about the squatting too lol. Lacy will squat for me if I reach for her just right lol but she sure wont let me pick her up!!
Ill get the pics up soon.

Ok. Hard to explain her eye color. The flash makes It look more brownish but its red like a RIR's. Don't know what eye color is normal for Easter eggers lol. Here are a few not great pics. But much closer!









 
Thank you everyone!! Im partial to her lol. As for the breed I don't know much about them cept I was told....If it has a butt its a mutt...LOL. Her eyes are a real pretty almost red color. Any ideas on the color other than her white?? I call it tan..Guy called it "gold"

The color looks like a Blue Wheaten in the Ameraucana breed, here a picture from the Ameraucana Scrapbook. Her color although looks too white and uneven from a Blue Wheaten, but she could always be a "pet quality" Ameraucana. You should go to an Ameraucana thread to make sure that she's an EE or Ameraucana, if she is an EE then there's no name for her color but you can have the fun in creating one. :)

Oh I'm so glad everything went without a hitch...that is wonderful progress....it means she's accepted you as part of the flock.
She more than just a plain old Easter egger...
I'm still going with Ameracauna...she's beautiful and at last has a loving home...still say blue eggs.
