Brown Red Ameraucana Hen

(1/4) > >>

Guest:
Does anyone have an extra? I was given an excellent Brown Red male by a friend the other day, yet I have no mate to place with it. This bird is a little bit smaller than I would like, but the tail carriage, legs, beak, comb and eyes are excellent and the feathers are almost to perfection. The bird does not have a beard due to being in with a flock of beard hungry hens, but it should grow back soon. Are there any Maryland breeders from whom I could acquire a hen? If not, I have plenty of shipping boxes that I can send out to get one from elsewhere. Youth/4H discount very much appreciated.
Here is the bird:




I also have many birds available for trades, including a number of Red Golden Pheasants all tested negative for pullorum and avian flu. I have some Red Pyle Ameraucana F2/F3 generation eggs at a rate of 1 or 2 a day as well.
(My Red Pyles have some comb/leg/egg issues still)

There was also a lot of mud that day, hence the caky feet. The are actually a very nice slate color, not grey clay color.

John:
He is a wheaten.

Guest:
Well, if other breeds are anything to go by, he most certainly is not a wheaten. The hens that were in with him were most certainly not wheatens either, unless wheatens have gotten a lot darker recently.

Wheatens and Browns seem to be quite similar, but this birds ancestry indicates that he quite clearly did not originate from a wheaten flock.

The ABC Sharing Place shows pictures of Wheaten Ameraucanas, which lack the darker insides of the lighter lower neck feathers of the brown reds.

Guest:
Does the Ameraucana definition of Brown Red vary from that of Brown Red in other breeds?
