    I have 10 Ameraucana hens and most are very friendly and easy going, but a couple are skittish, one more so. I called her Zelda from early on as she was always a bit cuckoo. On the whole though, they have NEVER been mean to each other at all, more goofy if anything. I find myself always talking...

    Oh, I agree! We love them too. We have 10 Fav hens, lost our roo last year and he was VERY gentle and gorgeous. We hatched 5 chicks 2 weeks ago just wanting another roo. The hens laid through the winter - we did have a heat lamp b/c it was soo cold, and our friendly Ameraucanas laid through too...

    Review by '' on item 'Faverolles'

    First ever chicken owners - picked 10 Ameraucana hens and 11 Fav hens, 1 Fav Roo (the 11th hen was intended to be a freely added roo, she's all hen, and 5 fancy banties from McMurray. I wanted lower noise for the neighbors (wanted a roo) and Fav roos are often reviewed that way. The Ameraucanas...

    Docile Roosters

    I have 2 roosters: a porcelaine d'uccle and a Faverolles. Theyre both very handsome boys, but the little d'uccle LOVES to CROW and though a 1/2 pint he's loud. The Faverolles is HUGE but I've only heard him crow about 5 times since they all came to us as chicks mid-April. I was concerned as...

    Homemade flock block recipes

    Winter water?

    I'm in Southeastern MA and my chicks are 6 months now. I love watching people on youtube find ways to problem solve. These are 4 great ideas that I've seen and think are easy enough for us. I am going with Penny, though she doesnt have a heat source involved, I think the 3rd video may be worked...

    THANK you! All I kept thinking was Barnevelder! No, I wish they were mine. I have totally awsome Faverolles and Ameraucanas though. I found this pic on new UK chick mag called Your Chickens in the Gallery. Gorgeous birds. Thanks again...

    Automatic feeder!

    Realize this is an older thread, but bought it on ebay, set it up over concrete blocks 4 days ago - it's secure. My chicks are 7 weeks old and are wigged out by it whenever I jiggle it for the feed. They eat the feed off the plate. Of course I still have their reg. trough feeder in use. I'm...

    I looked at their 1st week pics today, they were so tiny, it feels like 3 mos. ago - they're like teenagers now! His pal crowed his 1st tonight. My daughter was thrilled! Thanks

    I was looking to post a similar note when I found both of yours. Sorry for your loss of chickens. It's our first time with chickens. They're 5 weeks. I ordered 4 fancy banties with the 11 Faverolles and 10 Ameraucanas to drive up the minimum of 25 from McMurray. I accepted the free exotic...
