I have two Ameracaunas that are about 3 months old. After about a month, I noticed their heads had a tremor and unusual bob. I took them to the vet and he gave them Marquis for worms. He did no test. This doesn't make sense to me. I have kept them quarantined for 2 months to make sure they...
We have Ameracaunas that we were going to enter in a small county fair, just so my daughter could have the experience of showing chickens. We have never done this before. How do you think my rooster will do in a small town fair?

We have 10 out of 12 hatched. 2 we had to help because they were stuck in the shell after taking more than 24 hours to hatch. We are watching those 2 chicks to see how they do. All the others are healthy. Good result for us!

I have read multiple articles that said if the hens are too young and the eggs are too small, the chicks won’t survive and hatch. The genes are the same so the chick grows too large for the size of the egg. I don’t think the yolk size has anything to do with the size of the chick. That being...
i bought a dozen jersey giant eggs from Cackle Hatchery. When they come in, they were extremely small - smaller than the buff Orpington and ameracauna eggs I had. I emailed the hatchery, saying specifically that jersey giants are known for hatching large to extra large eggs. This was the...
