    unpopular chicken opinions??

    Cool cool, thanks for clearing that up! From here on out I will remember how to spell Araucana, I promise. Also for any confusion, brahmorp is another account that I have that I created after forgetting this one's info. Different devices sign into different ones now and I need to figure out...

    unpopular chicken opinions??

    Haha I love the beards!! I was saying how I’ve seen so many “mutt chickens” people call Easter eggers bc they lay colored eggs, and they all look so different. Aracaunas and Ameraucanas are actual breeds with a standard, right? Or am I wrong? Educate me!

    Please Help, Sickly Chickens

    Today I picked up 6 pullets from a poultry supply store. It wasn’t ideal but I couldn’t find any local breeders this time of year. Upon inspecting them at home, I found poultry lice all over them and at least one of them was sneezing every minute or two. I’ve heard all chickens have a few lice...
