    Show me your favorite chicken

    This is Rosa, my favorite of our 6 Americaunas. She is visiting me from the back porch where I frequently set up my home office in this particular picture.

    A Series of Unfortunate Egg Placements

    Initially we had... oddly enough, plastic Easter eggs in the nesting boxes... perhaps they shall return 🤔 These darn... I mean, amazing and wonderful chickens laid over a dozen eggs in the abyss before we discovered them. 🤦‍♀️

    A Series of Unfortunate Egg Placements

    Bonus points to whoever gets the play on words on the title 😉 This story begins with six Americaunas and six ISA browns. They were all hatched sometime in March and April 2020 and came to live with their new family just days later. They grew up in a homemade brooder that kept them warm and safe...

    Not sure that’s she’s sick, but what is this?

    Super helpful video, thank you! I will keep an eye on her, certainly seems like it’s just a little glitch in her matrix 😉😆

    Not sure that’s she’s sick, but what is this?

    We have Americaunas and ISA Browns. This was from one of the Americaunas. They get layer feed and oyster shell. Any treats they get are meal worms or sometimes a little cottage cheese because we have a ton of it and no one likes it (they get that maybe once a week or every 2 weeks). No illness...

    Not sure that’s she’s sick, but what is this?

    Most of my girls have started laying and for the most part it’s all going well. Only two eggs have been soft and we’ve already have one double yoke 😱. None of the girls have acted sick or had odd or concerning behavior. However one hen was behaving as though she was getting ready to lay and was...

    First and second egg in one day

    They have a mix feed of scratch and layer feed. I will pick up some oyster shell today 👍 I sometimes toss them some yogurt or cottage cheese in their treats (bits of apples, meal worms, salad greens, etc.)

    First and second egg in one day

    Yesterday we had one of our Americaunas lay her first egg. It was super fun and exciting! I was surprised because according to my calculations our first eggs shouldn’t come until sometime the last week of August. The first eggs looks good, but then we had another surprise, a second egg from the...

    Ignorant potato grower

    I’m not sure what I did to luck out with my potatoes. This is my first time ever growing them, grown lots of other veggies, but never potatoes until now. We have raised beds and I grabbed whatever was available at my local “feed and seed” type of store. Thanks for posting the article... rounded...

    Chicken newbie

    We absolutely love these girls... they are spoiled as can be. That was how I discovered the first egg was coming, went out to give them treats and one didn’t show up 😱😁. We are thankful for all their little presents 🐔🐥
