Some of my Easter Eggers who normally have full beards and muffs are missing feathers on their faces... This particular one was trying to start fights with others yesterday while they were free ranging in the yard. She's not the only one missing feathers but she's the worst. Is this due to...

Got my answer. Thank for the replies!

A couple of months ago one of my cockerels developed a swollen eye after fighting with another cockerel, so we thought he had an injury. It lasted a few days and went away. Shortly after that we noticed what sounded like wheezing coming from him... Then more recently one of our other cockerels...

We have four chicks that were hatched out by a couple of our hens. Three of them (the black one and what I suspect are two cockerels) are 13 weeks old. The one with the crest on her (?) head is about 15 weeks old. The golden colored ones are Cochin-Crested Cream Legbar mixes and the black one...

My husband is going to build a run for our chickens and it's going to be 16 ft long x 8 ft wide x 6 ft high. We're going to use 1/2 inch hardware cloth along the run. We're also going to have the hardware cloth coming out 2 feet on the sides (Like an L shape) and cover that over with dirt so...

I happened to come across an old thread where I read that there have been some issues with pupil leakage in some black Ameraucanas and that got me thinking.... My cockerels have that. We're relatively new to chickens, especially Ameraucanas. I couldn't find much information on the subject but I...

I purchased four straight run black Ameraucanas in April and unfortunately all four turned out to be roos. I plan on keeping one and am trying to rehome the rest. I really had my heart set on some black Ameraucana hens, even if just one... The only hens I got were the sexed Easter Egger pullets...

I have three beautiful TRUE Black Ameraucana roosters and one Easter Egger Rooster for sale. I am willing to consider trades! Ideally I would love to trade a few roosters for a True Ameraucana hen! I am located in Upstate NY. I can look into shipping as well.

We received our chicks from Cackle Hatchery back in April. We ordered four Ameraucana straight run chicks hoping that at least one of them would be a hen..... Please tell me we have at least one hen? My heart hopes we do but my gut says we don't. They are all larger than the Easter Egger and...

So excited! I placed my chick order with Cackle Hatchery and this is what we'll be getting: 3 Female Salmon Faverolles 1 Male Salmon Faverolle 10 Female EE's 4 Black Ameraucanas (Not Sexed) What we already have: 1 Cream Crested Legbar who lays a mint colored egg 1 Black Maran who lays...

We are going to be ordering 20 chicks from Cackle Hatchery soon, and we are trying to decide which breeds to go with. I've changed my mind so many times that my husband has now given me a deadline. I have until 12 noon tomorrow to decide....LOL. We will not be keeping all of them but only...

We will be getting Easter Egger chicks soon and I would love to see all of your pictures and know where you got yours from! We recently got some new young hens including 2 beautiful Easter Eggers, but had to return them to the breeder because they were sick. :( So please show off your Easter...

We are still pretty new to chickens. We have a flock of 5 young chickens that we raised from 3 days old. We want to add to our flock, so we recently purchased some young hens from a guy off of Craigslist. They were from a "Certified Clean Flock with no illnesses" and upon seeing them we thought...

Hi everyone. I'm new here. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now and finally decided to create my own account. We have, or had, 10 baby chicks until today. We're new to chickens, and bought 10 beautiful baby chicks from a farm near by last Wednesday. We got 2 cream crested legbar pullets...
