I have a two and a half year old amerucana, and I just got back from vacation. She is moving really slowly, and has gotten really thin. The feathers around her head are all poofed up. When I picked her up to look at her behind for problems, she opened her beak and yellow smelly stuff came out...
Thanks for all the advice. The Black Australorp sounds great, and it works for what I needed. Thanks!
I was thinking of using them for their eggs, but I would like for them to be good with children.
I am looking for some breeds that aren't very flighty. I live in Washington, so it is rainy most of the year. I was thinking a flock of mixed breeds, and I would like the Amaurcana breed. If any of you know some good sister birds for an Amauricana, please let me know.
