MD - Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameracauna eggs

[peachick]

Jean all my birds are on high protien game bird feed (peacocks need the higher protine) see if that improves your egg color. Would be intersting to know.

OH-OH-OH!!!!!!! I want on the list to PLEASE!!!!!!!! I'm not looking for the perfect conformation so your other line would be fine for me. Just looking for some really blue eggs. I am looking for lots of color in my egg basket.


EDIT: Can't spell

Peachick you have beautiful birds, who's line do your reffer to as their conformations not as great?
Where did the other line come from, is that line producing bluer eggs than jeans or is Jeans producing better blues than that one? have you mixed jeans breeding stock with another line?

what variety of Ameraucanas do you have? do you only have Wheaten and wheaten blue Ameraucanas or do you also have buffs, and whites?

Why is it that you have darker blues in your lines when the parents were from jeans? does it have to do with what they eat?

Jean are the sisters(your chickens now) of peachicks Ameraucanas laying the same blue or darker?

Thanks!

I'd also be interested in some eggs. But, I can wait a month, six weeks or even two months. Please put me on your list! Thanks.

Kat,

My gals are on gamebird layer also. I think the reason your eggs are better is because I am breeding towards better egg color and it appears to be working. I have two young birds that are laying that nice egg and I still have last year's breeders that are laying the light blue.

There is one or two more gals in the pen that are not laying yet, so I do not know what the color is like.

Well Jean ya doing good work!! all of these eggs have the same color..... nothing pale or green yet. YAYe

For those asking. My first line of wheatens came from a big show person in PA. They are beautiful birds... but their coloring was not true. I know that wheaten hens were used to develop the BUFF coloring. So I believe my birds are a product of some of that mixed genetics. I have sold off my hens but still have my original rooster. I will be putting him with one of my new girls to see what I get. He is a stunning boy, but you can see by this photo he does not have correct blue legs. The combs and beards I got from this line was outstanding and so was egg color.
