    Is my Americauna hen Elsa really a rooster? She is crowing!!

    I am so sorry. She looks like a he to me. We just went through the exact same scenario. We had to rehome our sweet 10 week old americauna whom we were certain was a hen until she started crowing. Good luck.

    Will my ameracauna chicks fluffy cheeks come back?

    We had the same concern. Muffs definitely reappear. Ours are 11 weeks old now and have full fluffy cheeks.

    Can I raise a single chick?

    Try checking with local fb groups. We ended up rehoming our roo and trading for a hen. Lots of peoplie had hens they were happy to part with. (Yes - I’m the same person who is waiting on the expensive started pullet. We placed that order before we realized how easy it might be to get a local bird.)

    Can I raise a single chick?

    You can but they’re expensive. We’re currently waiting on one from the Chick Hatchery. $40 for the bird + $40 Shipping and $40 small order fee. (We had raised only 2 chicks and one ended up being a roo. We were desperate for a similarly aged bird that we could get fast.)

    Sweetest rooster - must rehome

    That’s true. But it is your fault that you were insensitive and that your need to be right overcame your sense of decency.

    Why? What possible joy do you get from being such a curmudgeon?

    Sweetest rooster - must rehome

    He actually went to a family friend who we visit frequently. No freezer camp for our little guy. Thanks for the positivity though 🙄

    Sweetest rooster - must rehome

    Good point. I’m in Loudoun County Virginia. They don’t give a reason. They just specifically forbid them.

    Sweetest rooster - must rehome

    We bought a couple of sexed week old Easter egger pullets in early April. 2 months Later one of our girls is a boy. He’s just the sweetest thing (hand raised - lived in our kitchen for 7 weeks). We really want to find him a nice home. Our town ordinances forbid his very existence. Anyone...

    Hello!

    Thank you. That's what we thought as well. Just sad. :( The other bird is definitely a hen. Single row pea comb, smaller, defers to the black and white one... We have a Rhode Island Red coming ASAP. We'll try putting the cockerel in a black out box until we're ready to be up each day.
