    Ameraucana or EE? Hen or Roo?

    Hello! Long time learner, first time poster. New to keeping my own chickens. Wondering if these are Ameraucanas or EEs? And can you take a guess at pullet vs cockerel? They are about 8 weeks. #1 is the largest and gives off the most Roo behaviour. #2 got those longer tail feathers much...

    Trouble figuring out which is which

    So the hatch I was supposed to have this week was a failure, and none of the eggs made it. I had the brooder ready and was really excited for chicks, so I bought some to make myself feel better. People I bought them from told me they were supposed to be brahmas, ameraucana, naked necks, and...

    What’s the name of the color?

    Hi guys, I hatched this gorgeous Ameraucana chick from my hen, does anyone know what’s the name of this color that it has? Is there any specific name for this kind of pattern/colors.

    4 Week old BYM comb development… male or female?

    I hatched a few BYM hatching eggs and ended up with three pea-combed chicks. While all 3 of my single-combed chicks ended up visibly male, only one pea-combed chick so far has shown any comb development. However, while the 3 cockerels constantly size off and challenge each other, I’ve never seen...

    Ameraucana or Easter Egger?

    My old hen here passed away a few years ago. We believed she’s an ameraucana her whole life, but I’m starting to rethink that since I remember that she laid a blueish-green egg. What do you guys think?

    What gender is my 5-week-old chick?

    This is my little Ameraucana/BCM chick that I hatched 5 and a half weeks ago. He's the only survivor out of 12 incubated eggs and my first ever chick! He's always been very timid and shy and had "female-shaped" wings after hatching. His comb was very pale until last week. I read something...

    Breed and possible sexing?

    I got this chick from tractor supply, was told it was a Ameraucana. It’s 4 weeks old. I’ve been reading up on Ameraucana vs Easter eggers. Also this is a straight run, I’ve thought it was a rooster from the beginning. What are your thoughts?

    Scaly head - is this a concern?

    One of our Ameracauna hens seems to have a scaly area above her beak. She’s about a year old, regularly laying, and doesn’t seem to have lost weight. I’ve been away on a trip for a few days and my partner noticed her trying to sleep in the nesting box, instead of on the roost with the others...

    Ordering eggs from cackle

    Does anyone have experience ordering hatching eggs from Cackle? I want a few Ameraucanas and it seems like a more cost effective option than doing a small order of live birds, assuming a low 50% hatch rate and 50% hens.

    Rooster aggression questions

    Hi all I’ve had my rooster for about 6 months now and raised him from an egg and have always brought him inside, pet him, held him, and he never fussed. But recently he pecked me for the very first time and has been asserting dominance on me, like running at me and flapping his wings. I am...

    Sexing 12 week old Splash Ameracaunas

    I have two splash ameracaunas that are twelve weeks old and I’m still not sure I’ve sexed them correctly. I THINK I’ve got a hen and a rooster, but possibly two hens?? Anyone wanna take a guess? These aren’t great photos bc they’re pretty skittish, but I tried to get a good sight of their combs...

    Not sure of anything anymore

    Hello! This is my first time keeping chickens. Was sold this bird as a pullet amerecuana, recently realized she/he is probably an Easter egger but I have growing concerns he/she is a rooster. We are not allowed to keep roosters in our area. For reference he/she is very confrontational tho...

    Blue Ameraucana x Zomie Hen

    Hello! New member here! We had a zombie hen secretly laying her eggs in our goat pen that we recently discovered and now we have 15 plus soon to be babies. Anyone know of a cross of a Blue Ameraucana roo and a Zombie hen? Or am I just going to have a bunch of barnyard mix babies. Although I am...

    Weird sack under chickens chin

    This chicken is older and I adopted her bc she was the only one left in her flock. She seems to have this big wobbly sack hanging where wattles would be. Does not appear to be wattles or crop. Old owner said they think it’s always been there. Any ideas? It’s black and has feathers

    HELP PLEASE!

    I have a 2 year old hen acting very lethargic. Her head keeps twitching forward not to a certain side from what i’ve noticed almost like something’s stuck or she’s trying to push. She’s standing straight up like a duck. Not eating with her sisters now but was this morning. She is a rescue and is...

    13 week splash Ameracauna hen or roo?

    Ok I posted this bird at 10 weeks and everybody said pullet now it’s 13weeks (3 months) old and I’m questioning that. Any insight I know Ameracaunas mature differently.
