    Americanas?

    Help. I just bought 2 "americanas" from the store. I wanted a darker one but this is all they had and all they were going to get. Any ideas as to what they actually are? I just want coloured eggs. The girls are so light.

    OCD??

    Anyone else concerned about their chickens when you aren't around? As a first time chick owner I decided to take extra measures to watch them when I'm not "watching them." They don't like it when I walk in their room every 5 minutes. We rigged up a webcam using an old phone to broadcast video...
