Wouldn't it be nice if original posters came back and "closed the loop"?
We are all interested as to the outcome when someone makes a post which is about an unresolved situation.
I just searched this cross and found this thread.
Since the last post is almost 2 years old, could someone do an update please?
I am interested in their disposition, their size, egg color and size as well as egg production.
My idea/intent was to use a Ameraucana rooster with a Light Brahma...
I just lost 2 roosters over 2 days to a fox.
I don't care what people say that killing it only solves the problem temporarily.
Both of these roosters survived a dog pack attack last year and I nursed one of them back to health from death's doorstep. He had an infection from that dog attach.

You are right not to trust the reviews on Amazon.
I now only ready 1 and 2 star reviews. Then I try to determine if the review makes valid points or is it the case of user error.
I can tell you that I bought 4 automatic doors from Amazon in December 2023 and only one is still working. Two of...
THIS. I am a 6'2" man. I had one rooster who use to be really friendly as a chick and cockerel, but then started to attack me when he was mature. He never attacked head on. Always sneaky attacks from the side or behind.

I left the city and within a few...
One of my ideas to give a chicken run extra security is to use a solar powered electric fence as the outside perimeter.
Basically my idea is to attach the plastic wire holders to the enclosure posts. Have something on the ground to prevent weeds and grass from growing under where the wire is...
I failed chicken math.
I have a hen that has gone broody two years in the row. Last year I let her hatch the eggs,but this year, I tried to prevent it. I took her eggs, tried locking her out of the coop during the day.
Then things got busy and she ended up sitting and hatching a single egg.
I...
I went to Tractor Supply today and saw their Cochin chicks there. They were significantly smaller than my chick, so maybe because I have nothing but my full grown chickens,to compare to, it looks tiny.
Thanks for the update. I love when I can read the entire story.
Too many times people post questions and then never update the thread.
Too bad the homemade incubator fritzed out but congratulation on getting at least 3 of the eggs hatched.
