Thanks everyone!! Super helpful

I agree with the others that you have a lovely little cockerel. I believe I see saddle feathers starting to drop down.

I lean towards cockerel at this point too...very red comb and I think I'm seeing saddle feathers.

Hi, everyone. I purchased some fertilize eggs this year from an Ameraucana breeder (Blue Wheaten) but she also threw in a few EE eggs. My question...is my handsome, super sweet and gentle (20-week old) cockerel a blue wheaten Ameraucana or an EE? Doesn't really matter either way...

Did you try burnbrae farms to see if they would sell off some of their year old chickens that they are replacing with younger hens? I'm not sure if they do it or not…couldn't find anything on their site. Good luck! :)

HI Everyone, I'm new and I'm from Ontario (relatively near Ottawa). This is my first time keeping chickens. I purchased some laying hens (2 partridge coloured americaunas, 1 black americauna mix, 1 barred rock, 1 leghorn and two rhode island reds). It's been an adventure building the coop and...
