    Thanks. That is exactly what I expected to hear. Just being a novice chicken owner I needed the confirmation.

    ameraucana or EE

    Can someone please confirm what u believe to be EE's. My uncle keeps telling me they're Aracaunas, they were sold to me as Americanas. Also, are they both pullets? Or is there a rooster?

    New chicken mom!

    Thank you and I hope luck is on my side. Quick question, I've read recently about normal poop. However I don't recall seeing anything on pale poos. One or two of my chicks have this wierd pale maybe pink poo. All the others are the normal poo I would expect. Are my chickies sick?

    While trying to figure out whether I had some roosters in my 4 day old flock, I stumbled upon Pasty Butt. Come to find out, the reason why one of my chicks was "crowing" was because it needed to poo. Which it couldn't because of said Pasty Butt. So, I cleaned up 3 of the 8 chicks that had poo...

    Hello fellow BYC members! I'm a 28yo wife and mother of two beautiful daughters and now 8, 3 day old chicks! I have 2 BO, 2 BR, 2 RR and 2 Amerecuanas.
