I am looking to buy a dozen hatching eggs each of Brown Red and Buff Ameraucanas but the few breeders I've found on the Ameraucana Breeders Club website are all either not getting eggs yet or not taking egg orders. Is there anyone here on byc who can spare some of these awesome varieties...

I have threads following the growth of all my Ameraucana varieties, so I figured I might as well share my Marans progress as well. I hatched out 8 Blue/Black Birchen Marans a week ago, and took their week old pics today. Here they are! #1- Red Band (Black) #2- Yellow Band (Blue) This baby was...

Ok, here is my latest thread, following the growth of my Lavender Ameraucanas. I was able to hatch out 2 Lavenders and 1 Black Split and they are now 1 week old so it's time for their first week pics! Here they are: #1- Yellow Band #2- Purple Band (Black Split) #3- Green Band

Hi! I just recently hatched out 6 BBS Wheaten Ameraucana chicks and decided to make a thread tracking their progress. I will be taking weekly pictures, starting tomorrow at 1 week of age. My hope is that I'm able to pinpoint some early ways of detecting gender and just to follow each individual...

Hi everyone! I just hatched out 6 beautiful BBS Ameraucana chicks and have decided to track their growth on here with pics. I'm hoping doing this will help discover some early indicators of gender and we'll be able to track each birds' progress, from chicks to maturity. I'll be sharing weekly...

I just hatched out 2/15 Silver Ameraucanas from some shipped eggs (more will be hatched in another month or two) and wanted to keep track of their growth and maybe take notes of some early indicators of gender. They turn 1 week old on Monday, but because of my work schedule, weekly pics will be...

I have a newly hatched Silver Ameraucana chick that will not put any weight on its left leg. He/she holds it behind/out to the side and kinda hobbles around like that. She's still eating and drinking and can get around, but seems so tired all the time because of the extra work of limping around...

Hi! I'm about to be hatching some Silver Ameraucana chicks from a dozen eggs I'm getting from a local breeder and although I'm familiar with raising Ams, have no experience with the Silver variety. So, I decided to ask the wonderful community here for some pointers on early gender cues for them...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a good, preferably free app to keep track of my hatches. I used to use hatch a batch, but it doesn't seem to be in the Google playstore anymore...:idunnoSo, what app do you use, and what do you like/dislike about it? Thanks in advance!

I just got back into owning a few chicky babies after a few years on hiatus after a mysterious illness took out all 30 of my lovely birds. I decided to dip my toes in and got 10 chicks from Tractor Supply. I got 6 straight run Barred Rocks (all pullets I now know- they were easy), 1 Black Jersey...

I've never seen anything like this. Could be just getting picked on, but since it's swollen, I thought I'd ask here. This is a wheaten Ameraucana chick about 3-4 weeks old, in with 7 other chicks the same age. What is this?

This is a girl I raised myself. I gave her to a friend a while back, and got her and the others I had given away back on halloween. She's been smaller than the others since I got them back, and for the last few days she's been very listless and lethargic. Yesterday and today, she did not leave...

Hi! So, I've done this a few times now, and I've always been 100% right when making predictions of fertility on Days 1-2 of incubation. Am I the only one who's done this? Can you tell after 24 hours if an egg is fertile? Either no one else has done this, or im a candling prodigy. I tried to show...

Has anyone ordered Orloffs from SH? I've been looking for some as a back-up in case the breeder I want to order from doesn't have any by the time I'm ready to order, and the only place I've really been able to find them is Sand Hill. So my question is, what kind of quality do they have? I want...

Ok, so I'm new to having BCMs, and I'm not 100% sure about what the SOP says about them, or even which SOP to follow (American or French) so I thought I'd ask for opinions on my two boys. I'd like to know which you like better for striving for SOP, which SOP they would be good for, and why. I...

I just wanted to share some pics of what is, in my opinion, the best boy in the entire world. His name is Zeus, he's a 9 month old Bielefelder cockerel, and he's a total lap chicken. He follows me around everywhere I go, and he's the sweetest and friendliest male I've ever owned, not to mention...

Hi! I'm looking to buy some Anconas, but haven't been able to find any currently available. Day olds or hatching eggs would be fine. I REALLY want some of these beautiful birds!! If you or someone you know has any available, please respond here or message me! Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have a lovely Welsummer pullet (almost a year old) that has been broody for about 2 weeks now. She has been sitting on an empty nest because she never moves and the other girls don't lay in there. I have eggs in the incubator that are due to hatch on sunday/monday, and am...

So...I just hatched out 34 chicks of several breeds and crossings. I had Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, BBS Ameraucanas, Blue Am/Black Copper Maran crosses, Blue Am/Welsummer crosses, Blue Am/Speckled Sussex crosses, Blue Am/Silver Laced Wyandotte crosses, Blue Am/Gold Laced Wyandotte crosses, and...

Hi everybody!! I've posted this a couple of places but haven't gotten any responses yet, so I was hoping someone here could help. I just hatched out six sweet little EEs from my own flock. The father is my wheaten Ameraucana cock and the mother is one of my SLWs. I think I may have ended up with...
