A couple days ago I have my tufted araucana hen, Lucy, a bath. She has not layed an egg since... Ughh... And I was just beginning to collect her eggs for the incubator... Any one have any suggestions? Or reasons why that would have made her stop laying?
Thanks in advance!
I am getting two araucana this weekend. One is a barred araucana rooster. And the other is a double tufted splash araucana hen. Both are rumpless. Can anyone tell me what I would get crossing these two?
I got a couple new hens today and I know what all the breeds are except for this one hen. The guy told me she was a Spanish face hen. But I looked those up and she does not look like them. She does have white earlobes. I don't have a pic of her but found a pic online that looks identical to her...
I just ordered some chicks from Ideal. I got some Russian Orloffs (5 pullets) and easter eggers- or as they call them "ameraucana" (2 cockerels and 4 pullets) and Ideal 236 (2 pullets). Just wondering if anybody has pics of any of these breeds that they ordered from Ideal Poultry. Would LOVE to...
Hi i hope this is the right place to post this. I picked up a guinea/black copper maran mixed chick. Mom was full guinea. Dad full BCM. I just found out that these are pretty rare. And a lot of times do not make it to adulthood. Can anyone tell me anything about this cross. My chick is really...
I just got this rooster today. I think he is sooo beautiful! The lady said she got him from murray mcmurray hatchery. Which sold him as "ameraucana". But i know those are rare and hatcheries just sell them under that name even though they are usually EE's. I bought him for breeding purposes...

How can i tell if my eggs are fertilized eggs without breaking them open?? Abd i do not have an incubator... Will my broody hen be enough for them to stay warm and be healthy hatching chicks? Thanks in advance! :-)
I bought two pullets the other day. One is an EE around 3 months. The other is a cuckoo maran around 5 months. The EE has a funky looking eye and had a little bit of clear fluid coming from her nose. Also sneezes every once in a while. I dont know how to treat her as i am new to chickens. Ive...
Just bought cuckoo maran and EE. Lady said cuckoo maran is about 5 months old. And EE is about 3 months. I know pullets will begin to get a red comb when they are about to lay. In the pic my cuckoo marans comb looks more red. But its actually a pale pink color. Pullet or cockerel. Wondering...
Dont kniw if this is the right place to put this. But i am looking for a laying hen. Preferably brown/dark brown or green/blue egg layer. Willing to pay for a young laying hen. Let me know if you can help me out! Craigslist isnt doin much for me... Thanks!
I am new to raising chickens. I bought some chicks from a local feed store a little before easter. They are growing fast and healthy. I have 4. I know one is a sex link chick. Im not sure what the 3 others are... But i just started looking on craigslist and found some "flat feathered sizzle...
