    Too Large Eggs From Hen! HELP!

    The last 3 eggs have been just as big. The one from yesterday was super long and bumpy which happened with the last chicken that I lost. :(

    Too Large Eggs From Hen! HELP!

    I have seen this once before from a chicken a year or so ago. We lost her from a prolapse which led to the other chickens killing her. I have since learned from those mistakes but am now faced with a young hen just starting to lay massive sized eggs. I have read through the forums and found some...

    Ameraucana or Easter Eggers????Please Help!!!!

    It doesn't matter to me what breed I own because I love all my animals! I have a mini farm up on my mountain lol. I just miss read the posting from MMH and was not fully educated on the standards of breed they were. I am more disappointed to have less hens not upset with the hatchery over that...

    Ameraucana or Easter Eggers????Please Help!!!!

    I actually just figured that out a couple of hours ago. :( I goofed and completely miss read and miss understood the concept of Ameraucana breed. As I said, I am new to this breed. So I now realize MMH is 100% not at fault for this misunderstanding. There website does in fact state "Easter...

    Ameraucana 13 week old chickens...What is the Gender????

    Well don't I feel silly right now. I just went back to there main page and they advertised them as EE. So this is entirely on me. Oh well, they are still fun chickens! I will work through the show quality later. Still not happy with the number of males to females but thats just my preference...

    Ameraucana or Easter Eggers????Please Help!!!!

    I have ordered 12 "Ameraucana" from MMH. They are now 14 weeks old and I have since learned that they may be EE!!! I am very concerned over this issue considering the amount of money I have invested in them and the fact I supposedly have Certificates showing the pure breed for show quality birds...

    Ameraucana 13 week old chickens...What is the Gender????

    Here are a few more pictures of the two in question. Hopefully these are a little better. Also, can anyone give me a bit more information on the difference between true breed ameraucana and Easter Eggers? I bought the Ameraucana for show quality birds...If these doe not qualify as a true breed...

    Ameraucana 13 week old chickens...What is the Gender????

    Thank you for all your responses. As I said, I am new to the Ameraucana line and do not like being cheated. I will have another hatchery take a look at my chickens to confirm the EE theory and go from there on getting my money back. I did however figure that they were male. Which is also...

    Ameraucana 13 week old chickens...What is the Gender????

    I apologize for the poor quality in the photos. I can update them tomorrow so it can be more helpful. Thank you for the response thought! I am pretty sure the majority of my flock are male but I just wanted to make sure. :)

    Ameraucana 13 week old chickens...What is the Gender????

    I have been pretty good with sexting RIR, Rocks and Australorp chickens. However, I am new to the Ameraucana line. I have a few that are showing signs of roo maturity and I am going to be greatly disappointed in Murray's Hatchery if the higher percentage is male but I need some help. Here are...

    Help with chickens and quail needed. Appear to be drinking themselves to death.

    Right now they are all pullets with none laying. I was mixing some scratch with their grower finisher feed. I will start them on layer feed first thing tomorrow (they are def ready to be taken off of the finisher feed). TS knows me very well. I had planned on starting them on layer feed later on...

    Help with chickens and quail needed. Appear to be drinking themselves to death.

    Here is the new grower pen with a new hen house. The only ventilation is the entrance we created for them to go in at night. This is the aggressive largest pullet. Leghorn X. Sorry for the cages and stuff in the way. This is the best angle to see the feeders and shad. This is the new...

    Help with chickens and quail needed. Appear to be drinking themselves to death.

    That is what i was afraid of. I never even thought of a a small wading pan for them. I have moved the youngest chicks out to the grower run now that has a complete top over the it. So now they are out where they are getting fresh air...it's still hot though. My larger run currently has brown...

    Help with chickens and quail needed. Appear to be drinking themselves to death.

    I have done a bit of reading on here but i just need a little more information directly. I live in Kentucky and my area has not seen a drop of rain in months and the heat index is at min of 90/100 degrees. I have 3 month old Leghorn/Rhode Island Red X chicks that have been kept in a brooder...
