    Diary of a Crossbeak: Support for Special Needs Chickens and their Keepers

    Ameraucana? Roo

    Ameraucana? Roo

    Hello, Long time lurker to BYC. I have an Ameraucana/EE (it's what the feed store had labeled on the bin that the chicks were in) Roo that we need to part with. I will be completely honest he isn't a very nice Roo and has gone after all 3 of us and isn't nice to his hens at all. I think this...
