I’m dealing with the same issue... started with the really cold weather in November and continues to get worse 16 hens, lots of boredom feather picking. The snow is covering the ground so they just come on the porch, poo, and whine to come in the house. I don’t know how to keep them occupied.

I’m hoping for some help. This is Ed Nahm. She is a six month old New Hampshire. She has a great personality, was laying very well, all the sudden I noticed her tail feathers missing about a week ago. It looked worse and worse each day. These pictures are from today. I have looked very closely...

Why did this happen to my 22 week old buff? She has several wing feathers that look like they have been eaten or are hard to the touch. Today, this one was sticking out in the completely wrong direction and when I went to put it back in her wing, it came out. I have never seen a feather come out...

You were right! Over the past four weeks, all of her tail feathers fell out and run feathers have grown in. Still no crowing at 17 weeks so I'm assuming I have all pullets

So... over the past four weeks, all of the long tail feathers fell out and she is clearly a girl! It looks like I lucked out and all 16 are pullets after all!

13 weeks today

"What's up chicken butt?" Haha!

Thank you for the info. I talked with them over the phone when we ordered but I guess I should have read the website instead. Now I know for next time!!

Beautiful ROO! Thank you for the pictures. We are first time chicken owners but I thought as they got older that Ameraucana should look different than what I have

I bought them from Mt. Healthy Hatchery outside Cincinnati OH. I need to give them a call. Here are the other two "Americauna" pullets

I bought them from Mt. Healthy Hatchery outside of Cincinnati OH. Supposedly good at their job for over 80 years. I don't think any of my 3 Auracanas are legit : (

I was told Americauna Pullet but I don't think that's the case. Any help much appreciated.

"What's Up Chicken Butt??" What do you think about the tail feathers? ROO??? Auri is 13 weeks today. There is NO COMB... Any help?
