    Young Chicks Dying Suddenly

    They're in a 6x6 pen, they're not crowded at all. There were 18 altogether. Seemingly plenty of space and they were normally scattered, exploring/scratching. They have a couple cinder blocks to run around and on top of. One of their waterers is on a block, they frequently get on top of them...

    Young Chicks Dying Suddenly

    I got 10 three week old RIR pullets from a bin at my local feed store. We put them in a pen with existing chicks of similar size (and 2 that were a *little larger). We had them for just under a week. They appeared lively, eating well (non-med feed), lots of fresh water plus a separate bowl with...

    Should I incubate this egg?

    It probably won't hatch. There's a slight possibility it "could", but if you have other perfectly hatch-able eggs, why bother wasting time and incubator space? Just my thoughts. I totally agree with @EggSighted4Life and the great key points made in that reply!

    Ameracauna Breeding and Genetics

    I've been on that site several times and I wasn't finding exactly what I'm looking for. Though the information is helpful, I'm sure it'll be useful in other ways. Thank you!

    Ameracauna Breeding and Genetics

    I'm in love with this breed! I've had Ameracaunas from local farms but this spring I'm just starting out with chicks and hatching eggs from specialized programs with show quality birds. I'd love to find some credible resources on preservation breeding for quality, type, colors and egg color. And...

    The lone wandering rooster missed snack-time so now he's just circling, following me around to see if I have any treats left.

    Hello from the Midwest, US!

    There are other colors that naturally occur in the breed due to color gene mutations and recessives. They're not included in the standard for showing but they're able to be registered under their color and compete in sanctioned sporting events.

    Hello from the Midwest, US!

    Yes that's correct, the one I posted a photo of is just called brindle & white per the standard. I have other colors that occur naturally in the breed but are not considered breed standard. But I think my favorite is the striking contrast of the brindle & white!

    Topic of the Week - Dogs and Chickens

    Familiarity and consistency. We have Boston Terriers, they can be highly prey driven...especially in packs. Most of ours grew up around chickens and learned proper behavior through the help of our LGD (Great Pyrenees). Starting early on with training is important, as well as staying on top of...

    Hello from the Midwest, US!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We had chickens while I was growing up. I've raised them, worked on hatchery, broiler & breeder farms and in processing plants. I've learned a lot about these wonderful birds along the way, from farm to table. There is always new...
