    Comment by 'CherohalaKellie' in item 'Ameraucana'

    I have to disagree. My Ameraucana's are very friendly. They eat from my hand, allow me to pick them up with little to no fuss and will run to me when I enter the pen. I even pet them while they are eating. I have handled them since they were chicks and they are affectionate and will follow me...

    Lump on EE Hen back

    No Rooster here, so no chance of Rooster Damage. I am guessing that Tumor = put down or should I just let her live out her life? She doesn't appear to be in pain... Ill try to get a picture- but it just looks like her feathers are buldging up. Thanks all for your help. I'm all upset here...

    Lump on EE Hen back

    Hi all! I am hoping that someone here will have some idea of how to help my little lady. She was hatched in April and is an EE hen. She may- or may not- be laying. Today I was out playing with the hens and noticed that Jezz has a lump on her back. On the left side just after her wingtip...

    Decrowing Roosters.

    I own a campground and keep EE's, I would dearly love a rooster that didn't crow! However the cost is a bit high- the Roo really would just be a beloved pet and even though my dogs have health insurance, I'm not sure I could ever talk my husband into a 200.00 Roo- or even a 250.00 surgery on a...

    my chickens wont start laying!!

    I have 10 EE's that were shipped to us around April 10th. No eggs yet and I expected that we would see one around the 15th. They have me on pins and needles! A local farmer advised touching their heads with an egg to start them laying. I love mountain lore! I am seriously starting to think...

    Winter is coming! Heating the coop?

    Temps do drop below freezing here- um... around 15 to 20 degrees at night. Nothing compared to the northern reaches, I know. What do you do about the water freezing? I know I need to add corn to their feed... anything else? (feeling stupid for demanding an outlet by the coop now.... unless I...

    Winter is coming! Heating the coop?

    Hello all! This is our first winter with our new flock. As the cooler weather approaches we are busy getting ready to keep the flock happy, warm and healthy all winter. Our plan is to heat the coop with a heat lamp. We have installed a new outlet just outside of the coop- but our roof is not...

    LOL Yup! Last night while I was prepping the coop for the night a camper walks up to me and says "May I see one of your chickens?" One was pecking around my feet and I picked it up and showed him how to hold her. I never saw such a grin! He said that he didn't know that chickens would like to be...

    Brand new - just got 12 Heritage - threatened and endangered chicks!

    Hi! When we first got our chicks we were told about how high Chick Mortality is. We built our brooder for really very little money and carefully managed the warmth in it (It was april) after that it was just food, water and love. I hope the rest of your babies make it to adult-hood and bring...

    just introducing myself

    Welcome! Sounds like he is an awesome little guy! If you have some layers... start giving eggs to the neighbors who might complain, it might make them less likely to pitch a fuss of your little rooster baby!
