    Ameraucana hen with filthy beard

    I have found a few threads on here that say that it's normal, and it's also normal to have other hens peck at and groom the beard. That said, my hen Elvira has a filthy beard, and now the other hens are starting to pick the feathers out with the dirt and food. She has a couple bald spots that...

    Hens always want out of the run

    Hi All, My four girls are about 8 months old now and they are healthy, friendly, and recently started laying eggs. I bought a smaller coop/run combo for them that's in our backyard, and they seem happy to roost and lay in the small henhouse at night. The problem is, once they wake up in the...

    Ameraucana Rooster? Want to confirm before re-homing

    Hi All, out of my seven guaranteed hens I've had one death, one rooster, and now it looks like another rooster. This Lavender Ameraucana is a sweet and friendly bird and I'd hate to see "her" go, but to me she looks like a he, and the voice is starting to sound a bit manly as well. The wonderful...

    My friends are coming over tonight, they are in need of a rooster for their flock, and I'm pretty sure this one is one (thanks to BYCs!). If you've read my other threads you'll know this is my favorite, and everyone locally keeps telling me there's no way to know until they are adults. From the...

    Is Dora really Donald? How and when to re-home the rooster

Of my 7 chicks, one died, now at least one is a rooster. From a number standpoint I really only wanted 4...

    How tough are chicks? Letting them outside..

    My six 3.5 week old chicks are now out in the coop/run, but the weather is just about to turn. The past few days it's been in the 70s and 80s during the day and they have been in the run, and in the henhouse at night with it in the mid-50s with access to the brooding plate. Starting tomorrow it...

    Should I put them outside (15 days old)?

    Sorry I know this question gets asked a lot, but mine are still so much younger than most other threads, so I thought I would take a poll. I have six 15 day old chicks living upstairs in a puppy playpen and they are starting to get a bit wild. It used to be really cute when they would fly into...

    New Chick mama from Idaho

    Hi all, I am a new mama with six 2 week old chicks currently residing on the top floor of my house: Dora (BCM), Elvira (Black Ameraucana), Rhaenyra (Lavender Ameraucana), Helga (Bielefelder), and Olivia and Omega (Blue Orpingtons). At this point I am pretty sure I'm doing everything wrong, and...
