    We bought them from the local tractor supply. We keep them in a large 50 gallon tote. As for socializing them I have two young children who love to hold them but it is becoming difficult when they won't stop pecking at them. When we approach we are always on our knees at the side of the tote and...

    Amerucauna chicks

    We got our chicks from the local tractor supply. They labeled them as amerucauna straight run. They all look different but they have the chipmunk stripe down their back. We handle them how was handled our other chickens when they were little. Just walking by them makes them go crazy.

    Amerucauna chicks

    Hi all! I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on the temperament of Amerucauna chickens? I purchased 6 about 3 weeks ago and they seem to be a bit aggressive. They are roughly 3-4 weeks of age. When we go to pick them up they freak out and start to run around and when you put your hand in...

    Hi! I am wondering if anyone can help me in why one of my lorps are laying light (very) tan eggs and about medium size? My other lorp is laying a brown/rose colored egg that turns very dark once cold. Neither eggs are as large as my reds however. I was able to determine what egg is coming from...

    Hi I'm Jessica

    It was in the first nesting box but when i chcked the other two it was obvious something had tried them out as well but no egg. Maybe tomorrow!!! I have seen the red in the first box a few times. The lops not so much. Maybe they will follow suit! Thank you so much for advice!

    Hi I'm Jessica

    They do have a window and their run is outside but attached to the shed. They have food and water both in and out of the coop! We let them out around 7 am and they go in around dark. We live in MI so right now there is plenty of daylight. I am happy to announce we got our first egg today...

    Hi I'm Jessica

    Thank you for the feed back! We are giving them some oyster shell as well a sprinkle here and there. They are in a run but a fairly large one. Also their boxes are roughly 20 inches up we converted our shed into a coop so it is completely caged in. We used hardwire instead of chicken wire. I...
