What is everyone's favorite chicken feed? I've seen several brands out there but is there one particular brand to stay away from or one particular brand that is a favorite? I don't let my girls free-range because my less-than-civil neighbors might take a pot shot at them if they wander out of...
Well the babies and my other Am. seem to be doing okay today. Last night the babies kept trying to sit by Henny. Henny just keeps walking around out there, dunno about her but I miss Jenny!
I just had the same thing happen with my Am. Jenny She seemed fine this morning, walking around, eating, but the previous day she was sitting on the baby's flat-roofed coop, otherwise she was acting normal. Took a nap today, woke up and Jenny was laying on the ground. She too was just of laying...

My one girl, Jenny, supposedly an Ameraucana going on 2 years (?) also has a bald spot (kind of grayish) on her saddle just before her tail. There is no rooster and she seems to be at the top of the pecking order. I do not ever witness the other grown female pecking at her or Jenny pecking at...
Hello everyone! I live in a rural little no-name town in NJ (there are still a couple hidden country spots left!) I am not quite a 1 year chicken owner yet, that'll be later in the summer. Right now I have 2 Ameraucana hens (at least that's what the people who I got them from told me) and 6...
