    Chicks pooping blood!!! Help! (Pics)

    20% corid powder should be 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water for 5 days but you can cut that in half after the 5 days(or use medicated feed) and do it a bit longer to be sure everyone is OK. Vitamin A & K also help by clotting the blood so they don't bleed so easy. They should not be on medicated...

    Blue Ameraucana Gender??

    Although is allways harder to tell from pics, they both look like pulletts to us. Combs would usually be more red on males at 12 weeks. The cushion feathers would be more pointed on males. The body shape looks female, as do the tails. Male Ameraucana would usually be starting to at least try...

    Ameraucana folks--care to check out my new roo?

    The legs on the splash look good. Slate is just a bluish gray. (like natural slate rock). Usually the darker the better. Black or slate is acceptable on a black or blue Ameraucana. Here is a link for some photos on the ABC site. http://www.ameraucana.org/scrapbook.html

    EE chicks with GREEN LEGS...Questions??***PICS***

    Green legs indicate the presence of the yellow skin gene. As most chickens with yellow skin lay brown eggs, your EE will probably lay a green or greenish blue egg (brown layered over blue). It could lay blue eggs or even brown eggs though, it depends on what genes it got from the parents. The...

    Ameraucana folks--care to check out my new roo?

    Its hard to see detail in the pics, but from what I can see... Comb doesn't look too bad, Beard and Muffs are ok. Leg color looks light in the pics, should be slate or black. Purple sheen is not desirable. How is the leg color on your Splash? How about it's beard and muffs?

    Ameraucana folks--care to check out my new roo?

    Splash colored chickens carry two copies of the diluter gene you need for blue. Blue chickens have one copy, Black has none. You get one gene from each of the parents two genes. So a black and Splash pairing will result in one copy hence a Blue chicken.
