The other thing that I was not sure of was the picture of the chick in the sidecar of the motorcycle (very cute and my favorite ) looks blue in the photo and seeing the breeds that you ordered I don't know which one it could have been besides the blue ameraucana. (I'm assuming that was one that...
I was just wondering because I couldn't see the tufts in your pictures, all the ameraucanas should have them. The one that you have as the Easter egger has a red tint to its down like the blr Wyandotte, that's why I was wondering if it had tufts/muffs.
Very nice pictures.
After looking at them, I was wondering how you determined which chick was what. Does the ameraucana have ear tufts or a beard, I couldn't tell from the pictures? And usually the Easter Eggers have tufts also because they're mated with ameraucanas and a brown egg breed to get...
Well you'll have a variety of colored eggs. As long as you're not planning to breed them I'm sure that you'll enjoy all their unique personalities, and heck you may get lucky and get nice dark eggs from your marans. You'll have several months to spoil them before worrying about the color of...
Lizzychick, are you located in the Chicago area? If so whereabouts. I am in southeast Wisconsin about 25 miles north of the state line. I also have some greenfire bcm's that haven't started to lay yet, but should be starting in about a month, so I don't know what the eggs will look like. I have...
From top to bottom;
Cream legbar egg (blue )
Black copper marans from Meyer (light brown w/speckles )
Welsummer from Chicken Scratch Poultry (dark brown with speckles )
Bottom two eggs are black copper marans from Chicken Scratch Poultry (dark brown w/ speckles )
I also have a couple...
Yes, it is sad. I personally will never order from Meyer ever again. Since that major die off, I have received several shipments of chicks, even in cold weather here in Wisconsin and have not lost a single chick during shipping. I've had a few losses several days after arriving as can be...
Every time I see the word Meyer I cringe. I received 28 chicks from them back in December, blue ameraucanas, black copper marans, and welsummers. Only 10 survived. I had the dead ones tested and found out that they had infected yolk sacs from the hatchery. The blue ameraucanas were the least...
I would agree, looks like a roo. If you look at the comb you'll see one central rib with two smaller ribs on either side. My roo looks just like that, whereas my pullets have just the single center rib, and much smaller.
Thank you,
I was trying to post pics of my blue roo and two blue pullets, but this site doesn't cooperate with my galaxy 5 very well and I got frustrated and gave it up. I'll try again but the pics may show up randomly.
