We got our start in Ameraucanas earlier this year. Set two different batches successfully hatched out quite a bunch.

A good ratio of pullets to cockerals.

We did only hatch out one splash out of 36 eggs that were set.

We are approaching point of lay, and looking forward to seeing it.

We do need to thin the cokerals, and probably a few pullets out of the bunch. Some are missing beards and muffs. Color is pretty good, fairly uniform throughout. A couple will be culled based on tail angle. Other than that, introducing "The Ameraucanas". We don't do well at naming, of 100+ birds, only two have been named.

I got 2 splashes out of my hatch. 1 roo and 1 pullet. I can't wait till they start laying!!
 
Beautiful birds.

I'm not sure about you, but over here near the cascades in Washington, we've been getting wonderful weather and more eggs than expected.

How about over in Shelton, Nivtup?
 
Very lovely!!! I have a grey(blue?) EE that I thought would be solid grey/blue - but now I am noticing she is getting some black splashes on her feathers. Do they get more splashed looking as they get older?

Mine are getting closer to the time to start laying as well. How old were your girls once they started laying?
