I think my Ameraucana has something caught in her throat but not necessarily her crop. She's about 3 and is a single house chicken. The last 5 days or so her diet has been very minimal, she drank water the Saturday yesterday and today and had some yogurt last night and some wet bread this...
My 2 1/2 year old ameraucana may be egg bound again (at least that what I think it is) as of Monday afternoonish. She's been walking aimlessly in the yard sitting or just standing anywhere she likes with her eyes closed. Yesterday and Today I was able to get her to eat some tums, and then some...

This is Brighton and she is an Ameraucana. For the last two days, my bird has been in her nesting box twice for 3-5 hours at a time and hasn't laid anything. This evening, I came outside to see her and feed her dinner and I noticed she was in a very awkward squatting position like she need to...

I know this is a very odd question but I really need it to be answered. For the past few months, my family and I have had only one chicken as a house pet due to problems with our HOA. Our bird is a Ameraucana hen and she is very sweet. She's so used to living with us she'll come in and expect to...
My Ameraucana is about a year old.. Nice little hen.. Anyways she just had a little bit of white watery poop a couple of mins ago. I will follow her around and she's also the only bird we have right now. but not to worry I've gotten the approval from many here that she should be ok on her own...
I know in general chickens are not supposed to live by themself but I would like to explain myself and get some opinions. We had a problem with our HOA and we gave away 3 out of 4 girls, but kept one. She is an Ameraucana and is about a year old. We didn't give her away because she has a beak...

Hello members. So I have my Ameraucana, her name is Brighton and she is about a year old as of last week. Also last week, the left side of her beak started to detach and now it looks like the entire first layer of the top is gone. I don't know If this equates but imagine a human and the first...
I have a Rhode Island Red and she has been biting herself at the bottom of her belly. We thought she was molting or something like that but it's gone on for very long and no longer think its a usual part if a molt. She doesn't really have many feathers down there but she bites at what looks like...
Hello to all BYC members.
Today, I noticed my Ameraucana hen has a loose beak or something of that nature. The actual bone on the very top of her beak is white and looks like it has cracks underneath. Only the side of the beak is what came off a little bit. There is not any blood nor is she in...
I live in a suburban area of Phoenix, Arizona. This past week, members of my city council came to my doorstep and said chickens were spotted roaming in my backyard. I do live in a community with an HOA and they also have said in the past we must get rid of them. At that time we had a total of 8...
Today when I went to pick up my bird to hold her and I noticed blood on my fingertips. I picked her up and saw this completely featherless area, and she won't stop biting herself where the blood is coming from.. None of my birds have molted so far so I don't know what this is. I am also unsure...

So I made this account yesterday to find out if my bird Brooklyn, a black and white Ameraucana, was a boy or a girl. And now she's a boy, but when my parents know about it they'll get rid of her despite she's ones of our favorites. Any way to blend her in with the rest or at least keep her...

Hi, I have 10 birds, 6 adult and 4 babies. Of the four babies we got a buff Orpington, Plymouth barred rock, and two Ameraucanas. I wonder about my ameraucana, Brooklyn and I'm pretty sure she's a silver ameraucana. So far she is the biggest of the 4 more birds we got recently. I really never...
