Don, Thank you for the link, I have printed the genetics information and plan to study it over the long weekend. I do have 4 hens from the same bloodline with good pea combs so far. (Splash and Blue) They have some growing to do still so I guess patience is what I need more than anything right now. I have read so much literature on Ameraucana's and it can be a bit overwhelming at first but I'm learning. It's sites like this that gives us beginners an opportunity to get accurate advise to help us along the way. My end goal is to raise show quality Ameraucanas, not to be confused with EE's. I just love this breed
His weight is good,(I need to get him on the scales again for an accurate number) he was a bit fluffed out when I took the picture. He is obsessed with the ladies and likes to strut in front of their pen. lol
He has the slate color legs with white on the bottoms of his feet. No leakage in his feathers, shiny black with green tints.
We built the coop ourselves. It's still a work in progress. For some reason I keep having to add on...and on...and on.
I will upload what pic I have of the coops. It was dark thirty when I took it but it gives an idea to how I am set up. (My favorite place in the yard to sit)
