Still available. I have been informed that the Ameraucanas look more like wheaten, not blue wheaten (although this is what the breeder said they were).

All very friendly, hoping for homes that won't use them for meat. Ameraucanas (hatched 3/7/15: Bielefelder - hatched 4/2/15: Send PM is interested. Thanks!

Anyone interested in a few blue wheaten boys? Hatched 3/7/15. All very friendly and outgoing. Located in Oxnard, CA.

If anyone is interested, I have a very sweet bielefelder cockerel available in Oxnard, CA. I would prefer he have a home where he can live as opposed to being turned into meat. He came from a breeder in West Virginia as a hatching egg. Hatched on 4/2/15:

I know this is a long shot, but I have 4 beautiful cockerels to find homes for. I know this is a request that will get me no responses, but I am hoping to find homes where they will not be turned into meat. :-P They are located in Oxnard. The first 3 are blue wheaten Ameraucanas. I...

I was a major supporter of the no crow collar until yesterday. I was using it on my beautiful gold laced orpington roo. He was about 8 months old. The collar still allowed him to crow, it was just much less frequent and at a reduced volume. He was very used to wearing it and had it on for...

My coop is a mix of the kind of sand you use for concrete (from Home Depot) and PDZ. In the poop tray (under the roost) I use straight PDZ. My run is dirt. Although it doesn't rain much here, I will probably switch the run to sand soon because when it does rain, it has puddles everywhere from...

I had this issue with my flock. I had an injured EE that was away from the flock for about a month. I put her back in the coop in a wire dog crate for a few days, then let her out. Everyone was ok with her except my SLW, who proceeded to bully her relentlessly. So, I put the SLW in the crate...

Hehe, maybe it is just a trait specific to my hen then. Important to know in case I decide to add more marans to the flock. :-)

Has anyone found their marans to be noisier than other chicken breeds? I have a single GCM and she is by far the noisiest hen I have. She cackles loudly much of the time. She just started laying, so she is pretty young, but her noisiness is a bit on the annoying side. The rest of my flock...

It was a very warm week in CA when they were shipped, so I would bet money that they went well above 60 before they reached me.

I forgot to mention that there were 5 additional eggs from this bunch that I gave to a friend. She had 2 duds, 2 early quitters, and one that hatched (a girl, yippee!). My incubator is a Brinsea Mini Advance and I obsessively monitor the humidity. My other hatches were very good, so I'm...

Yeah, they were shipped eggs. The USPS is not so careful. Sometimes I wonder if it is better not to stamp the package fragile. I won't be keeping the boy. I already have one illegal roo who is getting a no crow collar tonight. I am hoping I can keep him, he is gorgeous (gold laced...

My new bielefelder babies. Really clearly a boy and a girl. Disappointing hatch though, of 7 eggs, 4 were duds, 1 was an early quitter, and the last 2 hatched.

Yeah, that is optional, just ignore it.

I'm not sure if this is the right place or not. I occasionally take free online classes from Coursera and they are offering a chicken class starting Friday. Here is the link in case any of you are interested: https://www.coursera.org/course/chickens I did an animal welfare class through...

Sounds a little like spraddle leg. You can make a little hobble out of vet wrap to fix it. It only has to stay on 24 hours and the legs should straighten up and not kick out to the sides. I had one like that this hatch and 24 hours later I took off the hobble and can't even tell which one it...

My new babies (Ameraucana)! Hatched yesterday. Out of 7 set, 2 were duds. 5 still good at lock-down. 4 hatched, one died in its shell - malposition. Not terrible for eggs shipped from GA to CA! :-)

Awesome! I hope you update this thread with the results of your hatch.

Wow, it looks fantastic! I am assuming you are going to give it a try and hatch some eggs in it? Really very cool!
