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...
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...
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
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...
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.
Please help me out! Please tell me I didn’t buy 3 roosters 😬😬😬
Important notes….
- approximately 8 weeks old
- purchased from Tractor Supply on July 6th (2024)
- less than a week old (approx 3 days old) when purchased
- one chick, Chilly, broke her leg a week after we got her, so maybe healing...
Not sure of these Two splash Ameracaunas. These two keep their distance and are bigger then my other two. I know it’s harder to tell with Ameracaunas but they give rooster vibes 8 weeks old.
This is my sweet 9 year old ameracauna.She is missing feathers on her back as well but it’s not as bad.Its the middle of summer so why would she be molting?It’s been in the 90s.I did have a mite problem but I’m pretty sure we fixed it.The only rooster I have is a bantam.She is healthy...
Hi, first time posting and first time hatching incubated eggs from my 3 Ameraucana hens and my Bielefelder rooster. They started hatching this morning, and I’m hoping to get about 10 of them. My questions are: A, can I expect them to be auto sexing? And B, anyone has any photos they can share of...
I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom.
Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna
I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black.
So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?!
The neck in a video when...
Hi all,
Does anyone know what these scab like things on my black americana rooster could be, I noticed them a few days ago and just want to check on here before I have to take him to the vet.
Thanks,

Hello! Long story short, can anyone confirm if it's possible for a Blue Ameraucana to be without a muff or beard?
I was under the impression that they always have a muff and beard and that the Meyer ameraucanas are true ameraucanas; Meyer's website even lists them as having beards and muffs...
I have an Ameracauna I got from a feed store. They came out of the female bin but now that they have gotten older, they are now crowing/ trying to mate/ and show off food to the other chickens. But I don’t notice any spurs on their legs like males usually have. What do you all think
Are they a...
