Looking for Ameraucana fertile eggs in Vancouver WA/PDX area. Anyone? :yiipchick

I hatch out chicks weekly. What variety you looking for?

I am not actually sure if was a rock chuck. It was bigger than my fat Jack Russell. It charged at me when I came upon it scratching at the coop. I ran back into the house to get the gun and when I got back with the gun it was back trying to get under the chicken wire. Afterwards, I tried googling 'the creature' and the closest description was a rock chuck. Rock chucks are very common around here but I have never seen one that big or colored the same. My working theory is that it some sort of mutant Hanford reservation creature, possibly an X-file.

OK, yes I can believe the Hanford or X-files thing....weird stuff happens out in the drylands, that is for sure !

But seriously, why would one (of any type or coloration) want to get into a building ?
Weird...

You have yourself some really beautiful birds there even if their roosters

The one with the long male tail & white earlobes is their rooster...the others, a black & a barred, are hens.

I totally agree! I said I had never had a broody hen, that night and tonight's after that one of my henswas sleeping in the nest box. So I went out and put her back up on the roost. So far she still up on the roost tonight. And I got six eggs from six adult chickens today so I guess that's good.

But if this hen goes brooding I'm going to blame you just because

Hey not me !!

Hey! It wasn't me! It was those dang ameraucana!

We have to stop talking broody. I now have a Black Australorp broody hen. We are jinxing each other.
