    Hello! New Member

    I am a new chicken owner with my husband. We have ten 11-week old chicks from 2 different TSCs so we could have more variety. We were told we have 2 Sapphire gems, 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Ameracaunas, and 4 Starlight Green Eggers. Now I’m wondering if it’s really 4 Easter Eggers and no Ameracaunas...
