    Ameraucanas vs. EE's

    "They used Araucana and standard breeds to create the Ameraucana...This is a pure-breed, not a mix." This is why I'm confused. The Ameraucanas started as a mix but aren't a mix anymore?

    Ameraucanas vs. EE's

    I'm a new chicken mama and have only had my girls about 4 weeks. I assume mine are the EE's since we bought them at our local Wilco store. What exactly is the difference? I've been on other forums for other random things and sometimes people are mean when answering a basic question. Please...

    How can I tell who is top hen?

    I have only had chickens for about 4 weeks so I'm wondering the same question. We have 5 hens- 2 Ameraucanas, 2 Jersey Giants, and a Welsummer. Our Wellie also seems to be the more "dominant" one. She eats first (especially scratch) but did let our littlest Jersey Giant steal a spider from...

    pine shavings + rain= ?

    After I posted this I thought I'd look a little more for a similar existing thread and found one with 25 pages of replies almost all recommending sand. Thanks!

    pine shavings + rain= ?

    We just finished our coop and run yesterday. The ladies are still about a week or two from going in and one of our friends back east said the pine shaving will be mush in the winter (we live in Oregon). The ground below is TERRIBLE. It's all rocky and on a slight downgrade towards the coop...

    Chickens and kitties

    I have 5 chicks that are about 5/6 weeks old and they are all getting their big girl feathers (the two Jersey Giants aren't as far along- which actually makes me think of another question...) and we have only one cat we let in the backyard. We let him out the other day and the chicks were in...

    Handling

    My husband and I have two Ameraucanas, two Jersey Giants, and one Welsummer. We handle them every day, multiple times a day, and the Americaunas and Welsummer all hunker down right away and sit in our hands uncovered. I have one little girl that will fall asleep in my hand everytime. The two...

    New chcken mama!

    We are allowed to have chickens in city limits but no rooseters. We thought our Welsummer might be a rooster but it turned out she was just a week old than the others. Our neighbors are great (we are on a corner lot so we just have one neighbor) but a small yard is a small yard. I doubt our...

    New chcken mama!

    My husband decided to surprise me with 5 chicks and an almost completed coop on Monday. We have two Ameraucanas, two Jersey Giants, and a Welsummer (kind of my favorite so far but don't tell the others). I was really hesitant at first but the more I read the more excited I am! However, I was...
