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,
Laura
So my family and I are new to chicken and I adore them but I know too many Roos is a no no soooo I need some help sexing them ! They 2 days old Sept 3 2023. Any help is so incredibly appreciated!!!!
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...
New to owning Ameracauna/EE chickens. The ones I recently got a few weeks ago are all young, but one of them is making me scratch my head- I ain't sure if it's an April, or an Andy. (Most recent pictures are the last 4.)
I got what I thought was an ameraucana. The comb is throwing me off and I havent seen any all black ones in my google searches. Can anyone tell me if shes not an ameraucana what breed this is? Shes about 8-9 weeks old. Also seems like a pullet based on demeanor, but am I wrong on this? ps I did...
So, I've noticed everyone else has their own little poultry diaries, and I thought, why not create one for us? I mean, if only to document the saga of our feathered escapades. We're like the newcomers in the chickenhood, starting from scratch with our flock.
Now, picture this: I had my fair...
I’m hoping to get some clarity on whether this 6 week old Ameraucana of mine is a pullet or cockerel. She/he (Bullystick) doesn’t have any pink on her comb unlike their sibling Chipmunk (last image, who I think is a roo).
Bullystick has different colouring though so I’m not sure.
Hope someone...
I have this gorgeous Bantam Easter Egger I got from a Bantam Assortment from Cackle Hatchery. I’ve posted about her before asking for help figuring out her coloring and genetics, and from what I got as answers she looks like a splash. Now I know Easter Eggers are most of the time made from...
Hey there!! Does anyone have an Ameracauna (my Roo is a Blue) and bred it with a Welsummer? I'm wondering if the chicks will have beards and muffs. Is that automatic or will some have it and some not? I'd love to see pics if y'all have this mix, please. ❤️
Hey. I have the opportunity to get one of these boys to go with my ameracauna splash and blue hens and hopefully have more splashes, but it’s so easy to have people post as pure Ameracaunas when they’re actually Easter eggers so I was hoping I could get some second opinions?
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...
Hello everyone.
Does anyone here know the Easter Egger genetics ,or cross breeds of Ideal poultry?
From what I’ve learned so far Easter Eggers are a “mutt” and are not a recognized breed to the APA. They have genetics of the Ameraucana and some other breed.
I did reach out to Ideal poultry...
On 6/25, we added this cypress bark mulch blend to our chicken's run. It seemed like a great choice, but with the issues our flock has experienced shortly after adding it, I'm worried that the "blend" part may have something bad in it.
On 6/27, I checked on the hens to find Beaux (Ameraucana)...
First time chicken keeper here. I ordered a mixed flock of “females” from Myers hatchery. I have a few suspect males, however, this one is my most “concerning” one at the moment.
Hatch date April 24th 2023, just over 8 weeks old. Any guess on gender right now, or still too early to tell?
Hi guys! First time posting here. I have a small flock of chickens that are 2 years old now- and this spring I decided to add some new ones. These three were sold to me as straight run Ameraucanas. This breed is new to me! And I've heard they are difficult to sex. Also from reading previous...
I need guidance, I have 2 roosters in my flock of 17. I knew this day would come when one would have to go away. Well that day was yesterday, the dominant rooster (Bumble) chased (Hawks) roo #2 away until he literally when through the fence to our neighbors yard. Currently all hens follow Bumble...
