Unlike Easter Eggers that hatcheries often sell as Ameraucanas, these are the real deal. We love their fluffy cheeks, pea combs, and sky blue (sometimes minty) eggs!
Our Self-Blue and Black Split Ameraucanas originally came directly from APA Grand Master Exhibitor Paul Smith. We also have some Self-Blues from Rachel Heldermon. To preserve feather quality, we breed our Self-Blue Ameraucanas (aka Lavender Ameraucanas) back to Black or Black Split Ameraucanas every few generations. Chicks during those years might be Self-Blue or Black carriers of the Self-Blue gene, usually about 50/50 each hatch.
Structurally, we think most of our Ameraucanas are looking very close to the SOP. The biggest flaw we’ve noticed on some of Paul’s blacks and self-blues is a gold bleed through. Some self-blues also have banding on their feathers, which is why we tend to use Black/Self-Blue mixed pens.
We will of course only use the best birds we hatch, so we hope to reduce these minor complaints as time goes on.
