I haven't been on here for a while. It won't let me post. It will only let me start a conversation with certain members. Is this something new? Do you know?
2 month olds:
Isa Brown, Princess Elsa
French Golden Cuckoo Marans, Francesca "Frankie"
4 month olds:
Easter Eggers
Princess Leia
Richard, yes, Richard the hen (she has the darker feathers of the two)
UPDATE: Princess Leia made it through the night. She is eating, drinking, pooping and acting like her normal happy self today. :) She is the chicken perched on my son's friend's arm. Yes...lol...I let them roost inside my dining room on a rocking chair. They enjoy it!
I am also treating their water with corid. I just got home after being gone 3 hours. Her comb has nice color again. She came and hopped on my shoulder from her cage as usual. She is outside pecking and scratching like normal. But, I am sure that picture is her poop. There was one other pile...
I lost 2 baby chicks in a row. One at about 4 weeks old. Got another baby so the surviving chick would not be alone. That replacement chick died about two weeks later. So, I am on my third replacement chick. Very upsetting. Today, my four-month-old, older chick is looking lethargic. I am feeling...

What is the update on your chicks? Are you able to handle them now? My chicks were born 8/9. I have had them since day #2. They are handled a lot. They are currently sleeping on my shoulders. Have you been able to bond with them now? They are definitely pets for us...members of our family. I...
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing all of this information. I feel so duped. My chicks are most likely EE and not Ameraucana. And I purchased them for my children to show for 4H. They'll be disqualified for sure. The good news is that they are wonderful and definitely bonded with us like our...
Thank you! I submitted my request to be added to my county and state list. These chicks are addictive. I may be considering 2 more in a couple months. Lol
I have taken care of chickens but never raised them from chicks. I have 2 Ameraucanas who are now 2 1/2 weeks old. I got them on day #2 after hatching. They are really for my 7 and 8 year olds for 4H. However, I am infatuated! Last night, they even perched on my shoulder as my little supervisors...
