    Dominant White Ameraucana—options?

    Hello! I want to preface this by saying I am very new to genetics and still pretty new at chicken keeping (1.5 years). Please have mercy on me! I've hatched a few clutches of Ameraucanas this year, and believe I may have hatched a dominant white Ameraucana cockerel from eggs that I ordered from...

    Late-quitting twins *WARNING: GRAPHIC*

    I found this fascinating and wanted to share—apologies in advance if this upsets you! Today was hatch day and I suspected this egg was a late quitter. I opened it up to investigate and to my surprise there were two nearly fully formed chicks! Can anyone shed some wisdom on the likelihood of...

    Khaki Campbell lethargic and losing weight fast :(

    Hi y'all! Looking for some duck help. I noticed my khaki campbell, Steve, limping at the start of this week, and she hadn't laid an egg in a few days. I suspected that she pulled something and that some rest would do the trick. The problem is that she has FOMO and overexerts herself to keep up...

    Shipped egg newbie: documentation

    Mostly posting this for my own records! But maybe it'll come in handy for someone else in the future. To date, I've hatched one batch of my own eggs, with another batch of my own due on 4/3.

    Baby’s first pip! (I’m baby)

    It’s day 19 and I noticed my first pip! I’ve been so anxious fussing over the conditions of my Nurture Right (I’ve struggled to get the temperature back up to 99F) so this was a major surprise and relief! It looks like my Ameraucana is the early bird:

    Love letter to my sweet Fiona!

    My blue Ameraucana, Fiona Apple II (Fiona Apple I didn't make it :/ maybe a cursed name?), has quickly become a favorite amongst my family and friends who are familiar with her lore. I believe she was the "bonus" chick in one of my orders last spring, and she was by far the boldest of the bunch...

    Day 12 — Uncertainty while candling :S

    Hi all! I'm on day 12 of incubating eggs from my own hens. I started with 100% fertility but here are three that I'm uncertain of... they seem drastically different in terms of development from the other eggs (those are mostly dark with heavy veining and movement). What do you y'all think? Here...

    Hello from the Hudson Valley!

    Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. I decided to make the jump to join after reading some EXTREMELY helpful advice here on how to make my newly adopted Rooster (Mr. Mister) respect me. During the day I'm a professional industrial designer and painter, so naturally I geek out over...
