    I think something is wrong!

    It’s been a week since she started acting weird that one night. My husband just went outside to do some work and came back and said “I don’t want you to freak out, but it looks like we have a dead chicken.” Of course it had to be her. 😔 She’s been acting completely normal. This morning she was...

    Are these really both Ameracauna’s?

    Ugh. So frustrating. I need to just wait until my shipment from Meyers comes in August!

    Alright. The one with the comb is going back now. I can’t raise another baby and have it be a too!

    Are these really both Ameracauna’s?

    I asked this same question in a Facebook group and I think you’re right. These are what TSC is calling “Americana’s”. Aka Easter Eggers. There were also some green layers in the bin next to this one and I was thinking it would be pretty easy for the bins to get mixed up. I think I’ll call...

    This is the other ones comb. I’ve been waiting for like 24 hours for the picture to load and finally just decided to put it in the comments!

    Pretty sure that 3 of the 4 straight run chicks I currently have are cockerels and hubby said I should go get more pullets and I’m not an idiot. I got in the car and left. 💁🏼‍♀️ The minimum at TSC is 4 so I got two RIR and two Ameracauna’s. They had two lighter/gray in the bin and the rest were...

    I think something is wrong!

    There is one other silkie but it’s currently chest bumping with a confirmed rooster so I’m pretty sure it’s a he. 🙈 She’s a ton better. But still isn’t going up into the house at night. Have to come get her and put up by hand. She’s eating and drinking and I don’t ever see anyone picking on her...

    I think something is wrong!

    Just went to check on her this morning and she’s acting like she’s fine. 🤷🏼‍♀️ She was standing up in the box looking around. There is just one poop, not sure how many times/night she should be pooping. I gave her some food and water. Her crop is no longer full. I took her outside for some...

    I feel like the worst pet parent. 😔 I’m headed to bed with my dog who ate half a chocolate cake today and we ended up at the emergency vet. Thank you guys for your help. Praying she is still around in the morning and I can get her some medicine or something. I’ll update then.

    I think something is wrong!

    I have a video of her but it won’t let me post. I just have this one photo. Don’t have photos of poop because she has been in with everyone else today and I wouldn’t know what’s hers. It was dark out by the time I realized she wasn’t herself and I did look around the run with a flashlight and...

    Oh. And watermelon. I gave them some watermelon today.

    I think something is wrong!

    Her crop feels about like it’s been feeling. I don’t notice it extra hard or squishy. She’s 10 weeks and she is still on starter feed. Not certain about her poop but I did put her in the garage in her own box so hopefully I can see in the morning. I’m just so worried something is wrong and she...

    Just went to check and she’s still in the same spot she was in when I left her.

    I think something is wrong!

    I'm afraid my favorite little chickie is sick. She's always been a loner so it's not abnormal for her to be off to herself. we call her Dummy cause she seems super clueless a lot of the time. Tonight, my husband took the chicks out for their free range time and he said she did her usual thing...

    Suggestions for litter/bedding/floor

    The run space is 8x10. The hen house is 5x5 and then 4 nesting boxes that are another foot deep.
