I was able to attain a flock from a breeder. I am working on bringing them more to Ameraucana form. Just had one of my first chocolates hatch.
Will probably offer hatching eggs.
Are you by chance able to explain the woolly genes? I have a cockbird and 5 hens that are all straight feathered but came from a mixed flock of woolly and straight.
Wondering if I have a chance at hatching woolly?
Does anyone make shoe baths with Oxine? I’m contemplating making one to keep by the coops.
I have Oxine but did not buy the activator and I have Tek Trol. How much would you use for a shoe bath? And how often would you switch it out?
Thank you!
I have a rather positive review.
Our chicks were friendly and curious with the pullets flying up on our shoulders. We had a decent amount of predator pressure and got down to 3. The roosters are gorgeous but can be fairly aggressive but it’s a game fowl. Our hen is not extremely flighty and...

Hello -
question on leg feather color. Why is it some have yellow/white leg feathers and some black? Is there a reason for the coloring difference?
And could I get some opinions on my hens/rooster? I know my rooster lacks some feathering on his legs and I am working on replacing him.
thank you!
Hello -
I recently hatched a chipmunk looking Marans. The cock bird is a BCM and the hen is either a BCM or Lavender Marans.
This is the first time this has happened. There are no roosters that have access to the Marans.
Hello! I have a almost 3 week old Ameraucana chick that I’m not sure if it’s blue wheaten or regular? I’m assuming it’s a boy also but would love to be wrong! Could I see anyone’s pics of their chicks around this age and whether pullet or cockerel?
Thank you!!
I was able to get 3 chicks ❤️ they are roughly a week and half old. Have some hatching eggs on the way! I’m beyond in love with these littles!
With my luck I usually have all Roos so I’m praying that I have one pullet at least ❤️
May I ask if they were your chickens what you would do? I swabbed their throat and didn’t find any red worms. So round worm I know is there.
I’ll do the 5 day full dose treatment then wait ten then do another full dose. Ugh I hate feeling so insecure in my decision. Lol. I don’t want to hurt them
Heck I wish my coop laid eggs - maybe it would be consistent. lol
My finance wants to do the full dose and treat for everything worm wise just incase. I know I found roundworm in one coop and I’m assuming all should be treated.
Would doing the 3 day treatment with .23ml per lb of safeguard...
Ok one last question - sorry 😐 If I were to do the full amount is it correct that .25ml for bantams, .5ml for standards, and .75ml for large breeds?
One of my coops isn’t laying so I figure they could get the full dose. And it’s full dose once and wait for ten days?
Yes - I believe so! I feel like when it comes to this I draw blanks. I don’t want to dose incorrectly or god knows what!
I have some hens that aren’t laying and I have three coops total.
I don’t want a egg withdrawal but at the same time I don’t want to drag it out or make it more difficult...
Good afternoon -
I weighed My younger ones and all 3 are 2.8 to 3.1lbs and then most of the other hens That I weighed are 4.9-5.6 lbs. There’s a few that are a bit bigger 6.5 and I forgot to weigh the roosters.
thank you!
