Hi all. I am an older backyard flock breeder of many years with little knowledge of proper genetic breeding to any standard other than my own, so I will appreciate any response, especially from geneticists, breeders or even if you just think they are cute! I have bred generations of my private...
Hi all, If you know of someone who is breeding or experimenting with these please let me know. I have developed an
interest in them and think they are very attractive.
Thank You!
Hi All,
I just have a couple of questions which I hope some of you can help me with. I allow my Roo to run with his harem on five acres. It is a flock of Non-standard color Ameraucana/ Easter Eggers. I save the bluest eggs on the side for hatching by my hens when they go broody...
I have an assortment of hens (26) with one good young rooster who is very vigorously and energetically doing his job! 7 of my hens are Marans and I am itching for some chicks! My hens are taking leisurely time now laying their eggs instead of just jumping in, laying and then jumping out again...

Hi there! I am new to chickens. Can anyone tell me all the "official" differences between Ameraucana's and Easter Eggers? I am trying to evaluate the "Ameraucana" chickens I have to determine which category I should place them in for breeding. Of course I want to keep the best specimens but...
Hi All from the Pacific Northwest state of Washington! Been years since I have been around chicken and I am the happy slave of 19 chickens and wanting more. Their "cluck" is my command! Believe me, I have some wonderful hens that will follow me around and oversee my every move to make sure...
