    needing some matches for our farm

    I have 3 Ameraucana roosters, 3months old that I am looking for a home for. I live in Blanchard if you are interested. I was asking $45 for the trio, but I would meet you and give them to you if they are going to a good home.

    Ameraucana roosters

    Hello. I have 3 high quality Ameraucana roosters for sale. These are not Easter eggers! They came from day old chicks from an Ameraucana breeder. They are now 3 months old, beautiful black, free range and locked up at night with my hens since they were chicks. They are wonderful boys, but I...

    Best of luck on hatchng your babies! Update on Jubilee (my granddaughter) vs. the rooster. My 5 mo. old sapphire rooster has attacked her for the second time today. So my father went out and put an end to him. Archie is now buried under a tree with my guinea pig and my sister's dog. Juby...

    These are black and blue. If my feather sexing is correct, I have 2 black and 2 blue females, and a black and a blue male. I am not in the mood to deal with roosters attacking my 3 year old granddaughter, so I will not keep the males.

    What is the best way to hatch shipped eggs????

    Back from vacation! Stopped by and picked up 6 Ameraucana chicks. They were freshly hatched, so they are dwarfed compared to my 1 week old. she pecked at the newbys until she figured out what they were. I placed her on top of the quanset hut and now she hops up there all the time! The woman...

    What is the best way to hatch shipped eggs????

    Too late The one that showed movement was fully formed but was soaking wet. I am assuming it drowned, which means I had the humidity too high. If I ever incubate eggs again (right now I'm thinking no), I will take your advice and incubate dry and then watch the humidity carefully during...

    What is the best way to hatch shipped eggs????

    I am going to have to peak into the one I have seen movement in and do eggtopsies on the others tomorrow. My chickens are just now 5 months old, so I'm looking forward to giving eggs to any broodies I have. I have a question about broody hens. Have you guys/gals noticed a particular...

    What is the best way to hatch shipped eggs????

    I have the feather duster hanging up, so she won't get caught in it. This comment is for a later post warning about little feet getting caught. Thanks for the advice. I have had no more eggs hatch. I did another water candling yesterday and have only one egg moving. Today is D26. I am...

    What is the best way to hatch shipped eggs????

    I watched the video and immediately ran to Walmart for a dog crate and heating pad. I have one Ameraucana chick that is doing fine in her "quonsit hut". I added a feather duster since she is all alone (except for the dog and cat). I heard about the "feather duster mommy" on the Oklahoma page...

    What is the best way to hatch shipped eggs????

    Oh My Goodness! My son came in complaining of noisy eggs! One peeped and I well on his/her way out. I can't believe it. I still had them on the egg turner. I ran in and grabbed the egg carton out of fridge and placed them in it. I would attach a pic of it working its way out, but I can't...

    What is the best way to hatch shipped eggs????

    Hello from Oklahoma. I just finished reading this entire forum. Thanks for all of the posts with advice. I am getting ready to lock down my second batch of Ameraucanas. The first batch was 0/8 and I am about to pull my hair out! I wish I had found you guys earlier. I didn't know anything...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    I always fed my cat solid cat food, but when he started peeing in the corners, I added canned food and took the lid off his litter box. I only feed him high quality food now with lots of fluids in the moist food.

    Purebred Ameraucana B/B/S Hatching Eggs

    I don't doubt the fertility. None of them were clear. I am using a Little Giant incubator, and this was my first batch. I wasn't incubating any other eggs, but I was turning them manually, so this wasn't the best of circumstances, I imagine. I have another batch from another flock that I put...

    Purebred Ameraucana B/B/S Hatching Eggs

    None of the eggs hatched. I finally took them out on day 24 and opened them. Nothing resembling chicks.
