    Picked up some hens last night, one had an egg break...i need advice please

    Thanks, she appeared to have a wet bottom so I just assumed she broke it laying it or whatever. I will try the vinegar thing, I'd like to eat some eggs too! :)

    Picked up some hens last night, one had an egg break...i need advice please

    Hi all, well I'm new to chickens and have not much knowledge and am hoping for some advice. Last week we lost 5 hens to either wandering or a predator. We were in town late and didn't get back until 10 or 11 and when we went to close their coop most were gone. So last night a friend told us...

    Is this an Ameraucana? why or why not?

    Oh, I think I thought you were talking to me, speckled hen, when probably you were talking to the person who posted the other pics! Sorry for the confusion, I am not really experienced with this forum thing either, I guess! :P Thank you all for the replies though!

    Yes, I looked thank you. I meant of all the chickens I have, the barred rock is my favorite, not of the ones sold to me as ameraucanas. The only two sold as ameraucanas were light tan, the others are apparently other 'breeds'. I was only wondering about the light colored "EE" in the pictures...

    I think the barred rock one is my favourite, she's so friendly and unflappable.

    Thank you for the link. I don't mind if she's not, I just am not proficient in chicken parts/colors/etc. She's a unique one, the troublemaker of the bunch.

    Doesn't matter to me either way but I am trying to 'learn' identifying characteristics and the only way it seems to sink in is if people point it out exactly to me. I hope the picture will suffice. I just am trying to figure out the "easter egger type" as opposed to a real Ameraucana. sp? lol...

    New Chicken owner...questions on feed...???

    Hi Everyone I'm very new to the chicken thing. Starting from the very basics, what do you feed/offer to keep your chickens healthy and happy? Locally I only have a TSC and a Do it Best that offers feed (Poulin). There is a blue seal dealer about 15 miles away but the tractor supply is closer...
