    Very swollen eye

    They’ve been out free ranging for several days, so there’s no telling what they may have gotten into. I also have some younger barred rocks, so between them and these feisty red heads, there’s no telling!

    Very swollen eye

    I have not added any new birds. It is so tight it was hard to open much. I did exactly what you said. Flushed with saline and coated with Neosporin. It isn’t fevered feeling and it doesn’t smell infected. I tried to lightly squeeze to see if any puss come out but none did. She was drinking and...

    Very swollen eye

    Hen with a very swollen eye! Any ideas what could be the cause and/or treatment? She does have a spot on the back of her comb that looks like she could have been pecked

    Pure Ameracauna or EE?

    That’s what I thought. Was hoping otherwise lol

    Pure Ameracauna or EE?

    That’s what I told my friend who has them. She was thinking possibly splash but didn’t look like any pictures I could find and not colored like my splash hens! Thanks!

    Pure Ameracauna or EE?

    Hey. I have the opportunity to get one of these boys to go with my ameracauna splash and blue hens and hopefully have more splashes, but it’s so easy to have people post as pure Ameracaunas when they’re actually Easter eggers so I was hoping I could get some second opinions?

    Roosters Comb

    I got a new rooster and still have him in quarantine…what’s up with his comb? It’s not raised, so I’m thinking not fowl pox. Fighting injuries maybe?

    Which Splash is best?

    I have someone wanting to trade a lavender ameraucana and a few laying hens and a splash maran for one of my ameraucana splashes. I am not particularly needing to get rid of one, but my kids sell eggs and I wouldn’t mind having more laying hens. I was wondering if you all could offer some...

    Advice for breeding BBS (Blue Black Splash) genetics! 🐣

    I have some splash hens that I think are beautiful but their splash is not nearly this dark. Is there a way to darken the splashes? I have splash black and blue hens and believe I have a blue rooster I am going to be able to purchase 🤞🏼 The farm also has a black roo, but I’d like to focus more...

    Ameraucana colors

    Thank you so much!! Hopefully the blue roo is still available! I know splash isn’t official, but they’re so pretty!!

    Ameraucana colors

    I have blue, black and splash ameraucana hens. Looking to get a roo and found someone close with a black and a blue one available. What offspring would they produce? What’s the possible outcomes?
