The AMERAUCANA thread

[I Like Turkeys]

I thought 4 weeks old was about the earliest i'd see noticeable male coloration coming in.

Nope, apparently.

Bringing my chicks inside in preparation for Helene and what do I find? A 3 week old blue wheaten who already has blue breast feathers. Kinda losing my mind at how quickly this clutch is developing color differences.

Beautiful girls! They look very nicely shaped, and have such regal coloring.

Thank you! They are quite lovely and have been great in the heat.

Nymeria and Lady are both laying now at 25 weeks

Love those names!

I'm working on naming the blue silver duckwing EE. I think I might be leaning to Oliver.

My two silver Ameraucana pullets with a blue buff brahma pullet.

One of the better looking silver Ameraucana cockerels. He doesn't have any of the red leakage on his back or wings.

Thank you! Our custom is to name them after characters of the current show we are watching, Nymeria and Lady are named after the Dire wolves in Game of Thrones. Cersei is the Lanister queen, and Sansa is the sister to John Show, who's Dire wolf's name is Ghost (my cockerel who is being rehomed Saturday)
