    Ameraucana vs easter egger

    T Thank you so much that was extremely helpful! I appreciate you answering the question and simplifying it for me. It's difficult to pick out the correct information when there is so much of out there and some that is contradictory. You have definitely helped in my learning!

    Is anyone else having issues with the USPS and dead chicks?

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Ugh that pisses me off so much. They are living creatures! They should be treated with more care than what they are. And there should definitely be better policies in place for them. I live right outside of Athens, OH so I know the feeling. I was calling the hatchery...

    Ameraucana vs easter egger

    I was not under the impression they were pure bred so I'm glad to know there isn't truly such a thing. I also have heard that a few times that getting them from a breeder will ensure that they are in fact ameraucanas but I have also read of people who believed they were getting just that from...

    Ameraucana vs easter egger

    I know this has been asked a million times but I honestly cannot find a definitive answer out there about how to identify an ameraucana chick versus an easter egger chick, can anyone help me with this? I have seen so much contradictory information I don't even know what to believe. Anyone...

    Oh that's wonderful to hear! And too funny! Thank you for sharing that, makes me feel better too! Oh that's a good trick I will be watching out for that! And I think I read the cockerels have more white on their chest than the pullets do. Even though I didn't post this thread this is still...

    skittish wee ones.

    I have ten SS straight run also. I left mine alone for a few days as well and now I'm going to start get them accustomed to seeing me and hopefully they'll warm up to me. From what I've read thus far, just letting them know you're there so they get used to seeing you and hearing your voice. If...

    Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

    I was thinking of ordering from them but they don't give specific dates, did they contact you to let you know when yours would ship? And how quickly did you get your chicks?

    Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

    Well that's good to know. I was getting worried. Seems so silly for it to take that long. I would have just gone to get them myself if I didn't have a 3 month old. She's not quite that great at long car rides yet and man I can't blame her. I know they must do this on purpose! Just to get all...

    Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

    I swear I thought my chicks would be here today. It does say 1-2 days for shipment, but they're coming from a hatchery in Ohio a couple hours away from my house. I called the post office this morning and nothing yet. I'm so sad!!!! I hope they're ok! They said they get another truck in the...
