This is a quick pic I took of her this morning.

yes she is true. She was purchased from an ABC breeder. She's a wheaten. Obviously not as perfect as the pictures on the breed site though! I guess that's why I was wondering if I should try. I'd be in it for fun, but I don't want to offend anyone there.

I can't believe no one has advice!

I have an Ameraucana pullet that I think I might like to show, but I don't want to be laughed out of the building. I don't have any interest in breeding, but I think it would be a fun way to spend some more time with the chickens and like minding people. I'd love some tips to get started about...

I'm not certain if this is the "right" section for my question, but I need some breed recommendations. I'd like a brown egg layer (any shade really), but I'd like a rare/endangered breed. I currently have two Ameraucanas (true, not EE), an oliver egger, a D'Uccle, and a little game/dutch type...

Ok, good news, thank you for all of the input!

My girls have not started laying yet, but are approaching laying age. The days are shortening already, but I was wondering if they will lay anyway or do they hold out until spring regardless of age? Thanks in advance!

Haha, I wasn't actually asking a time, I was more complaining about how darn long it takes!

And the worst part is, that when they are wet, they look like some pathetic alien, haha.

I mean, they're feathers, how can they possibly hold that much water????
