    Some of my ameraucanas from a breeder look like they have single combs not pea combs. Here are pics. What do you think. And if you can tell sex that would be great too. Sorry pics are not great. To me the combs look very different.

    How many chickens

    How many chickens can I fit in an 8 by 8 coop. The back would be nest boxes and the sides would be roost bars stacked so they don't poop on each other at night. They would be completely free range during the day.
