    Two of my so-called Ameraucanas: Poor Gert got hit with the ugly stick.

    Thanks for your response, they are about 6 months old? born April 9th or so. I'll be sure to let her have first dibs on the cat food tonight.

    Two of my so-called Ameraucanas: Poor Gert got hit with the ugly stick.

    Thank you all for your responses and clarification of what they are, I was thinking they were likely "mere EEs," but mentally keep sticking by what the hatchery called them! I do hope she is just oddly colored and otherwise healthy and will mature normally (as I mentioned, she is acting...

    Two of my so-called Ameraucanas: Poor Gert got hit with the ugly stick.

    This is a bad picture of her as I thought she was going to die this past week, so I grabbed a parting shot (she looked very ill one afternoon and was hiding in the nesting boxes, but then snapped out of it by the next morning and is now back to normal)- but I wanted to ask has anyone else come...

    Hen and Rooster showdown!

    thanks! after this ruckus everything seemed to be fine- i guess they just looked at each other crossways and she wouldn't stand down. (hope i posted this in the right place- "chicken behavior.")

    Hen and Rooster showdown!

    i got a new marans rooster this week (couldn't get the hen without HIM), and he's proving to be a great guy. HOWEVER, one of my normally sweet wyandottes decided to challenge his authority... here is Sister Mary Agnes in all her bravery- i just happened to be in the coop when it happened...

    i appreciate this- she was really exceptional. oh dear, here comes my warped sense of humor- "egg-ceptional," as she never laid and was way past due! thank you again for your support and letting me share her with you- this is such a welcoming forum!

    i'm so sad to inform y'all, she died! i had taken both pics and video of her the night before (and posted this pic), then the next morning at 630am she was let out of the coop (seemingly fine) with everyone else. i had a doctor's appt and came back around 11am to find her in the dusting area...

    i was wondering if there might have been some tampering, OR, if the gene that causes silkies to look like they do might have started with an errant chromosome, like in eloise's case? took this today... my poor little dear.

    my iowa blues were originally named after "inspiring women" - harriet (beecher stowe) and amelia (earhart) didn't make it- but sojourner and eloise did. oh, and she's just eloise. you can kinda see why with that face. ;-)

    i bought 4 iowa blues as day old chicks (born mid-late april), and these are the only 2 who made it. one is "normal" in appearance and started laying about 3 weeks ago. however, one is odd looking- her body feathers are very loose and hang down (the neck feathers sometimes stick out like a clown...

    "Ich bin ein Bantam!"

    Here is a folder of some of my babies... I'm new to chickens this year and am very much enjoying the photo ops they provide. Like one could ever take a bad picture of such beaked cuties?! : ) https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/album/view/id/6211020/user_id/119474
