The AMERAUCANA thread

[kurby22]

Thank you ^_^ I got lucky and started with some very nice birds. I hope I can keep the good type going down the line. I'm working hard to familiarize myself with the SOP and be critical of what birds I keep for breeding

It’s always nice to start with nice birds! You aren’t in CA by chance??

I have some questions about Ameracaunas. I know their legs are supposed to be slate, but what color are their feet?

Their feet are pink (white/pink skin)

Yeah, I'm hoping to be able to ship chicks and eggs next year after getting NPIP certified

Hello, Hoping to join the thread as I have 2 Ameracaunas ... they're supposed to be purebred, also supposed to be pullets. Though I'm positive at least one is a roo. He's showing a red comb, iridescent tail feathering, and starting to show saddle feathering. Questioning the second one. I'm 98% is roo, however, no comb at all and no coloring yet. Would really love to know before I sell this guy. 13 weeks old. The light one is the one in question.
