    Is this an Ameraucana?

    A friend of ours gave us this young hen, she's about 4 months old and hasn't started laying yet. He said he got her from the local ag supply store and was told she was an Ameraucana, but she doesn't look like your typical Ameraucana so we think she may be an Ameraucana crossed with something...

    Need help identifying breed & color

    Hello everyone, I bought this adorable chick from our local feed store and they ensured me it was a Bantam Silkie; however, as she gets bigger, I'm thinking they were wrong since she doesn't have the attributes of a Silkie. She doesn't have black skin, she only has 4 toes, she has feathers, and...
