I'm considering what chickens to breed and I was wondering if my BBS Ameraucana and my Favorella rooster would have BBS Favaucana chicks. If they don't then how do you make them?
Hi everyone! My name is Adrienne. I am new to the forum, but not to chickens. I think I ordered my first batch of chicks from a hatchery five, maybe six years ago? Most of those chickens are long gone now unfortunately, due to predators getting into their coop.
My husband and I have gotten a...
I have 2 roosters I bought them both from a breeder at her facility:
1st is a pure Black Ameraucana
2nd is an Easter Egger with a pure White Ameraucana father but with similar color/pattern to a laced Barnevelder or Wyandotte (unknown mother).
My hens:
Easter Egger that looks exactly like the...
Hi all! This is my first post, and I was wondering if I could get some help determining the sex of two of my chickens.
Out of 6 straight run, I had 2 definite girls, and one definite rooster. He did the adolescent chest bumping, then he started to crow. I was able to find a home for him and...
Hey everybody,
So I have a bunch of Ameraucanas that are about five months old. Most are blacks, but I have two that look like they might be blues.
My friend gave me all of her blacks to grow out and help her with, saying I can keep some of them. But I think she also gave me a few blues on...
Hi everybody.
I was wondering what happens if you bread a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana with a plain Wheaten Ameraucana. I heard that they have their own similar b/b/s genes like that of a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte in that the tips of the tails can be either b/b/s but I was wondering if that is true...
this is more for future reference as I'll keep it well up to date. Chicks all hatched here and are 1-3 weeks old guesses on gender are welcome ☺️
Chick A: mottled houdan 1 week
Chick A: mottled houdan 3 weeks
Chick B: black Ameraucana x Easter egger 1 day

Hi this hen was sold to me as a pure bred araucana blue egg layer. I don't know much about chicken breeds, but from my research araucanas shouldn't have tail feathers and should have neck tufts and yellow feet. This lady certainly has some serious tail feathers and has slate feet and also has a...
Hi all,
My sweet, smart 7-year old alpha hen Lady Sybil (Ameraucana) seems to have started laying phantom eggs. She laid her final/lash egg about a month ago, and now she goes into the nest, sits for an hour, then comes out singing the egg song...except there’s no egg. I thank her and she...
Good morning all,
I am a little confused and need your help. Friday evening I noticed my Ameraucana’s left eye was swollen, watery, and pretty much featherless. I have read articles advising to flush eye injuries with saline and apply Neosporin around the eye. Then other articles advise to...
Hey everyone,
I got some “Ameraucana” chicks from my local chick store awhile ago, however I was told that they were probably EEs and not true Red/Brown Ameraucanas. I’ll post some pics, in case anyone says anything different.
However, I was looking for somebody in the South Florida area that...
I inherited a supper sweet, five day old Ameracana chick that has a slight deformity who won’t eat. I’m not sure what caused her to look the way she does or if that is contributing to her behavior, but she has been unable/uninterested in eating since I brought her home yesterday. (Supposedly...
I’m wondering what she is mixed with. She was sold as an “Americana” which I now know thanks to the BYC Community means nothing and is just a marketing ploy by hatcheries capitalizing on the similarity to the Ameraucana name. She’s an Easter egger and I’m totally ok with that!
She’s from...
I have no idea which is which or if they are what I was supposed to receive. They both have feathers on the sides of their feet. The one with the tail that looks more like a partridge has more feathering and looks like may be getting longer fuzz/feathers on her neck. She also appears to have...

There's a hard lump under my pullet's earlobe. I searched through many "earlobe" threads on here, but none of them seemed to address exactly what's going on. Please help.
1) Minerva Louise is a black Ameraucana pullet, approximately 15 weeks old. We weighed her last week at 1 lbs, 11.8 oz...
Little Lana is just over a month old, and is the sweetest little Easter Egger. Unfortunately, the neighbour's dog got her sister Natalia (Tali) this morning So here I am, keeping my poor lonely baby company. And yes, yes I have pulled several hairs out of her mouth and up out of her stomach...
hello everyone!
Thought I would show off my new baby chicks. This is my first adventure into chicken ownership and just in love with my little babies.
I’ve got 2, 10 day old salmon faverolles, 1, 1 day old blue australorp, 1, 1 day old blue splash australorp, and 2 mottled Ameraucana. The...
