    What sex are these Americaunas??

    You have a very handsome collection of roosters! Sorry you seemed to have been mis sold. The white isnt an Americauna. Maybe a young rooster too... The 1st hen looksa to be just that, a hen. Good luck!!

    What did your chickens do today?

    My week old chicks started to fly after playing leap-chick. My rooster Silkie Rascal has fallen into protective mode and sits sentry next to my broody bantam hen Bertha. My guinnea girls scream amd cackle while my huge Domino hen quietly snatches up the bugs.
