    help with breed identification possibly a wheaten Ameraucana?

    frostbite or has she been pecked???

    thanks for the reply, she is the only one having the problem and I don't think ventilation is causing it as the coop is very well ventilated and very dry.

    frostbite or has she been pecked???

    Hello from Maryland!

    the coop we are building is going to be based off of The Palace plans, but we have a strict neighborhood association so we are going to side and shingle it to match the house so it will blend in better. It is very exciting because we are the first approved chicken coop in our area :)

    Hello from Maryland!

    There are 5 of us in our family and we were going to let everyone pick out a bird from the 4H'ers at the local fair in August. So I am not really sure what we are going to end up with :) Personally I would like some sort of easter egger, Ive always loved the colored eggs
