    Chicken math strikes again! I was only suppose to pick up two Ameraucana chicks and a barred rock to give to our mama hen who's down to 2 chicks, but this sweet baby made it home with us, too. What is it? Anyone know? By the way, mama hen accepted her new babies, no questions asked. ;) Whew!

    Ameraucana question...

    Thanks for all the info! After seeing the photos, what do you think? I bought them as week-old chicks at a local farm. I mainly went with the RSL and BSL to ensure lots of eggs. The two white chickens were given to me by someone moving out of state. I am very new to chickens and pretty...

    Ameraucana question...

    I have a brown red Ameraucana rooster, a silver Ameraucana hen, 3 RSL hens, 3 BSL hens, a leghorn hen, and a white mutt hen. What could I expect, chick-wise? First, my silver Ameraucana and my brown red Ameraucana rooster? Next, I assume all the rest will have Easter-Egger chicks? My...
