Pride and Prejudice..... Miss Charlotte is a "not very likely" pure bred Wheaten Ameraucana picked up at the Conroe Chicken Show because the man did not have change for a $5 .... Jane and Elizabeth are pure breeds that I hatched from eggs last year. Jane is a Wheaten and Elizabeth on the far right, is a Wheaten Blue. The only difference is the coloring on the tips of the tails.
Elizabeth has a crippled foot caused by me putting her down in a cage and smashing her foot, or her walking too close to me when she was little and me stepping on her. I can not remember which one caused the injury, probably both. (Yes I have learned to be more careful) I rarely get a photo with all three together. These are the girls that I wanted to breed. Darcy was the Rooster that died along with all my dreams of breeding Wheaten Ameraucanas. I love my chickens yes I do.
Hi, Someone just told me about this post. I may be able to help you get your dream back of breeding WBS Ameraucanas. Feel free to email me at tailfeatherz1@msn.com
ReplyDeleteWow those are some beautiful girls! Sorry to hear of the lost hopes - We'll have some extra Wheaten and Blue Wheaten roosters come summer if you're still up for the dream.
