ameracaunas

Hey there! I got some new Splash Ameracauna chicks the other day and I'm having a hard time telling if they are male or female. They are approximately 4 weeks old. Their beaks and nostrils look abnormally large to me but maybe that's just the breed. What do you guys think? Chick 1 Chick 2

Hi new to this page. Its a very informative place. I have 18 chickens, 4 are new. I love them.

I received my Cackle Hatchery chicks today! All are doing well! 8 Lavender Ameracaunas & 6 Biefenhelder pullets. I ordered 10 Jungle Fowl, but there was a short hatch and now they are all sold-out. But I am really happy to finally have my own chickens. The 30 chickens we we already have are...

Hello everyone! I'm a new member of BackYard Chickens, but I've been visiting your forums on and off over the years. Thought I should make it official in case I have some advice/help to offer ;). I'm not brand new to chickens at all. I had pet chickens while growing up, then took a break...

Can someone one identify what color this chicken's feathers would be classified as? He/She is either an Easter Egger or Olive Egger, but I have never seen a color pattern quite like it.

I just received my order of day old chicks from mypetchicken. All are quite peppy. However these are labelled as ameraucana, emphasis was placed on real breed, black/blue/splash. One is all yellow without a sleck of dark. What do you think

So about two years ago I lost my entire small flock of hens to hawks in a 48 hour period. I was allowing them to freerange. After this horrible experience of finding my hens disemboweled in piles of their own feathers I swore I’d never have chickens again (although I fully intended to) until I...

I recently acquired what the well respected NPIP breeder told me was a purebred Buff Ameracauna pullet. She’s about 12 weeks old. It was only after reading up on Ameracaunas on BYC that I learned that she should have dark slate legs. Instead she has what I would describe as pale blue legs -...

What is required to make a chicken an Ameraucana and not an Easter Egger? For a great deal from a local breeder I got a mix of green and blue egg layer hatching eggs, but I wouldn't get to know what breeds they were. About 9 months later I have Super Blues and Easter Eggers, but one of them I...

I recently acquired 2 Lavender Ameraucana chicks from a breeder a couple roads down; one is a day older than the other and that’s already enough for a noticeable size difference between the two but that’s not what I’m supposed to be rambling on about LOL. They’re both feathering in on their...

Please help us! Is my Maxine a Max?

Hello my wonderful brilliant friends! I first want to start off with how glad I hav this wonderful community to turn to, it’s been amazing! Here’s my question, we got those little guys and were told they were Ameraucanas, I have read and read and I’m just getting more confused instead of...

Hi there, I have a lavender Amerucana hen that I am interested in entering at some shows. I have looked online to make sure that color is recognized by the APA but can’t seem to find a definitive answer.... does anyone know whether it is? Or what the recognized amerucana colors are by the APA?

Hi everybody!! I have so far gotten 2 pheasants, a Male and female, Bonnie and Clyde. 3 quails, Poppy, Tansy and Ivy. I'm beginning to think Tansy is male as this quail lacks spots on the chest, I do believe they are Coturnix quails. I also have 3 Ameraucana chicks. Now the pheasants and quails...

Does anyone know of any Lavender Ameraucana chicken breeders around the western North Carolina area? I have some RIR, SLW, and EE hens and would love to add a couple Lavender Ameraucana hens to my flock. Thank you in advance for any inputs!
