    Pretty sure I have a roo....

    Greetings all! I am thinking this is a little roo. He/she will be 8 weeks in two days. Not sure if it is an Ideal 236 or a Leghorn. I ordered a total of 30 pullets; 8 Ideal 236's, 8 Silver Laced Wyandotte's, 8 Ameraucanas and 6 "assorted standards". I have 9 white bird s, so this may be...

    My little quackers new home

    I asked at the feed store where I bought the stock tank. They gave me the "fittings" I needed to install a drain plug. They called them a Boiler Drain and a flange. They were about $6 a piece, so less than $20 to do it. I just drilled a hole in the side near the bottom, screwed in the...

    The babies are here!!

    Awesome! I have ordered from Ideal in he past and have been very happy with them. Since Magpies seem to be so uncommon, if all goes well I might get a drake and raise some little ones.

    The babies are here!!

    I have decided to attempt my hand at ducks, as well as chickens. I ordered 4 Khaki Campbell hens and 2 Magpie hens from Ideal. They arrived safe and sound today, along with 8 packing peanuts, which I think are RIR's. All are happy, healthy and settling in nicely. So, I failed at chicken...

    Pretty sure I have a Roo....

    Yes, he is a pure Ameraucana. The gal I got him from shows her birds and he wasn't "perfect" enough to show. I hope I can re-home rather than eat him. Thank you all for affirming what I feared.

    Pretty sure I have a Roo....

    I thought so, but it is so funny because he is afraid of his own shadow!

    Pretty sure I have a Roo....

    I am pretty sure this is a roo, but looking for confirmation He/she is 4 months old, but sure doesn't act very roo-ish. He/she runs from everything. I am waiting to hear the crowing and then chicken soup it is.

    Ameraucana gender help please!

    Thanks all for the input I think #10 is a roo as well. I wish he wasn't because he sure is pretty! The breeder I got them from shows her birds and she loves experimenting with colors and has done quite well with her Ameraucana's.

    Ameraucana gender help please!

    I have ten 8 week old Ameraucana's and need some input on their gender. I purchased them from a local exhibitor that delves in color experimenting. I think I have 3, possibly 4 roos in the bunch. One of them I knew was a roo when he was 2 days old when his comb was clearly there. Any...

    At my wits end!

    So sorry it has taken me a couple of days to respond. I have been packaging 200 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and have been quite busy! My bad knee makes me tire easily, so I only do so much before I must rest. My girls get layer pellets from our local feed store and while...

    At my wits end!

    About a week before Christmas, I replaced my 3 year old layer flock with young pullets. I bought three 8 month old Barred Rocks, an 8 month old Rhode Island Red, an 8 month old Banty Golden Laced Cochin, a 4 month old Aracauna, a 1 year old Blue Orphington, and two 1.5 year old Arcauana's. I...

    What to wrap them in

    My son and I will be processing the remaining 26 meaties in a couple of weeks. We did 4 last week, and surprisingly only took us 30 minutes from kill to fridge. Plucking was much easier than I thought it was going to be. They weren't as big as I had hoped at 6 weeks, so we are letting the...

    She just died??

    Thank you Speckled, I know that sometimes things just die. But when it happens so quickly and so unexpectedly, it hurts even worse. I did/do enjoy their antics and goofiness and can't imagine my world without them. I was just so shocked and saddened when I found her. Your words helped me...

    She just died??

    I was outside about 20 minutes ago sitting on the porch and all six of my girls were fine. I came inside to feed the cats and went back outside to feed the girls and found one of my girls dead! I am devastated and have NO idea what happened. She wasn't egg bound, we got 6 eggs today. She is...
