NY chicken lover!!!!

Hi,
I have an almost 1 year old chicken I bought over the winter that I need to find a home for. She is a great bird but she is noisy! We live a bit close here and our neighbors have been so good about the chickens until we brought Olive into the mix. I was told she is an olive egger . We live in suffolk county.

Hey, anyone in NY want to split a Metzer's order in August? I'd like to buy my little sis 3 Welsh Harliquin ducklings but such a small order costs more. Thanks!!!

Our Blue ameraucana x Cuckoo Maran OE roo was out free ranging last weekend with his ladies while me and the girls were out playing. My oldest looked at him and asked what his name was. I told her he didn't have one and asked her what she would like to name him. Her response was "pickle!" So our roo is now called pickle and my husband is thrilled. I just laughed. I thought it was cute and now the name is going to stick.

Now I KNOW no one told me that BluKote NEVER DRIES on chicken skin. Now my hand is purple. Why is it called BLUkote when it is actually purple?

Now the real question to all of you who hatch and raise Amerucanas. I have three of them. Yes, they are cute. One has the cutest little tail feathers. The other 2, who are the exact same age do not. Which gender is which when it comes to this breed? And I don't mean just sprouting tail feathers, these are almost an inch long and the other 2 don't even have tail feathers breaking through the skin. So do I have one roo and 2 hens or 2 roos and ONE hen? (when they grow up. Right now I have 3 chicks)

Are you sure they are not Araucanas? Araucanas don't have a tail or beards.
