Title: Ameraucana eye color
Post by: Lindsay Helton on May 03, 2025, 09:26:00 PM
Question:
Help! My 3 month old Ameraucana chickens do not have reddish bay eye color yet. Is this a problem?

Answer:
The standard was written for sexually mature birds. Ameraucana pullets and cockerels that have grey or green eye color are typically headed in the right direction to achieve reddish bay eye color. Pullets or cockerels with brown or black eyes will not achieve correct eye color.
