Silkied Ameraucana Project

That’s awesome! Are there any pictures? Are they hardy?

I live in Southern Oregon. It gets very hot and mildly cold/snowy here. Mine have all done pretty well!

I love them so much!!!! That’s good to hear! Did you breed them yourself or buy them? Hmmmm I live in Alaska. Maybe if I heated their coop……

MYP has Silked EE, which is where I started! They lay light sky blue eggs. I started breeding to true Ameraucanas for their features and egg color. I’m into the F2’s right now!
The Silked feathering is hard to keep them warm if they get wet (and mine love the mud) so a dry and warm coop would be great!

I don’t suppose you’d be able to ship any hatching eggs to Alaska? I’m already getting some ameraucana hatching eggs (and maybe some silkied ayam cemanis!) so this a really cool project!

What’s your favorite color of ameraucanas?

I definitely could! My flock is NPIP/AI clean. Ive shipped as far as Florida and Pennsylvania, but ai haven’t shipped to Alaska yet. It looks like your state requirements are pretty relaxed.

It would probably be around spring though. My babies are still quite the mutts so I’m working on getting them as close to true Ameraucanas as possible. Currently they are all mixed together so you could end up with some really pretty olive eggs I’ll be dividing my coops and runs so that I can keep the breeding flocks separate from eachother.

For Ameraucanas I really love black! They remind me of little ravens. I love lavender too, of course
