and I don't have a clue why. She was my best layer until then. (Americauna- blue egg) She doesn't appear to be molting, and I never see her sitting on the nest. Our temps here are nice, it's not too hot. I only have two other brown egg layers and they've been lousy lately. One egg every other...

My Golden Polish Buckwheat- he/she is 9 weeks old

my 10 week old RIR that's supposed to be a pullet
and one of four silver penciled rocks... they all look exactly alike and I think they are...
oh that is so sad... I'm so sorry for your loss..I just came home today and I am missing one of my big hens... no sign of her anywhere...
and last week, I lost two to a neighbors dog. I think I'm going to have to lock everyone up from now on. It sucks when you lose them.
Well the first Ameraucana I'm pretty sure is a pullet... she is noticeably smaller than her siblings and her stature is that of my other, older Ameraucana hen. The second is my one chick I think could go either way. It's not as small as the first but it's not as big as the last. I'm pretty...
this was supposed to be rir but I don't think so. She looks more like my bo chicks. maybe a mix?
this is sparkplug.I think he (or she) is sooo cute. He was a bonus rare chick with the order from mcmurray

I know what the white roo is but the other two are Ameraucana or EE's.. And the hens are either or.. How do you distinguish between Ameraucana and EE's? I don't know how old but was told they were 10-13 weeks? I think they are older.
help a helpless newby today...
TIA!
I got two laying hens from local Amish for $5 a piece. I don't know if there are any in your area but you could ask around. Maybe take the ones that are picked on.
I received these birds from an old couple that didn't know anything about chickens. They got them from a neighbor who raises rare birds but they didn't know what breeds. I am very new to birds chickens too but I believe they are....
Egyptian Fayoumis..
Blk/Green with Gold Ameraucana..
I can...
well.. I can keep one hubby says. If anyone wants the other two, I could mail them for shipping costs. I could mail them, couldn't I?
Now just choosing one out of three pretty roos is going to be hard.
I'm guessing.. I haven't had chickens for very long and all of a sudden, I have a bunch.. A friend of a friend just dropped these five off- four hens and a roo ('m pretty sure there's only one). they are very pretty but all a different color. They couldn't tell me what kind they were other than...
