Goodmorning everyone. I am looking to get all of the 7 colors of the ameraucana chickens. Does anyone have good experiences with online buyers and true breeders? I want healthy birds and a reputable seller. I do not want to do the hatchery because they prefer quantity over quality. Any advice...
I have a rooster who is coming into age, per say. I feel like he is more aggressive than need be from what I have read. He does not do a mating dance. He does a im hunting you down, even if I have to hang onto your tail feathers, I’m getting it. And my other hens are coming to fight him off...
