I believe they are two weeks. The issue is that I have some month old americaunas and some two week old ones, and I'm not sure which they are. I got them from either IFA or McMurray hatchery, so I'm not sure how they were incubated. I got two separate batches of americaunas, so I'm not sure...

Hello! I recently bought 20 Americaunas, and two appear to have some sort of disease. The first one has full paralysis in her legs, but she's still chipper and eats/drinks/poops normally. The second one is the same, but instead of having fully paralysed legs, he... walks backwards?? Video...

ello! this morning, i had my first ever pip! it was super exciting to see my little duck's head. however, it's now been 12 hours since i saw it pip and he really hasn't made much progress. His head is sticking out of his shell, but he hasn't really moved since. he's super talkative, though...

uhh, she's a broiler... i haven't wamted to slaughter her because it was really hard slaughtering our other broilers, and she's the sweetest thing in the world. :/ and no, she hasn't improved since we separated her.

Gosh, I sell eggs at $3.50 a dozen and $5 for 18. I only have three bantams left, which is really sad since I like them so much, but because of prices having an ornamental flock just isn't cutting it anymore. :( Free range is definitely the best option, in my opinion. I find my chickens (and...

She lays blue eggs! Oh, and I've noticed some EEs start off with yellow/orange legs that darken as they get older. I've owned more easter eggers than any other breed, and i've seen quite a few strange ones!

I owned some barred rocks recently, and they look like your chicks! those look like hens, but you'll probably have to wait a bit longer to find out. they could be sapphire olive eggers, too! i had some of those, too, but they had tiny spots of yellow before they molted, so not sure.

You're right! I totally forgot most blue/green egg layersh have darker feet. I have a really orange-coloured easter egger who has yellow feet though.

bump! ^

They kinda look like easter eggers? the brown ones, that is My other guess would be welsummers. I have no idea about the white/grey ones, though!

Hello! I have a 7mo hen. She's the sweetest thing in the world, but she has abnormally short legs, which makes it difficult for her to walk. Recently, a really heavy rooster mounted her, and since then she's had a really bad limp. I can't bring myself to kill her, but I don't want her to be in...

Hopefully not failure to thrive. It's gets very cold at night, so we've been keeping her with some other chickens her size in a brooder at night.
