Goodmorning everyone. I am looking to get all of the 7 colors of the ameraucana chickens. Does anyone have good experiences with online buyers and true breeders? I want healthy birds and a reputable seller. I do not want to do the hatchery because they prefer quantity over quality. Any advice...
Hello everyone.
Does anyone here know the Easter Egger genetics ,or cross breeds of Ideal poultry?
From what I’ve learned so far Easter Eggers are a “mutt” and are not a recognized breed to the APA. They have genetics of the Ameraucana and some other breed.
I did reach out to Ideal poultry...
On 6/25, we added this cypress bark mulch blend to our chicken's run. It seemed like a great choice, but with the issues our flock has experienced shortly after adding it, I'm worried that the "blend" part may have something bad in it.
On 6/27, I checked on the hens to find Beaux (Ameraucana)...
First time chicken keeper here. I ordered a mixed flock of “females” from Myers hatchery. I have a few suspect males, however, this one is my most “concerning” one at the moment.
Hatch date April 24th 2023, just over 8 weeks old. Any guess on gender right now, or still too early to tell?
Hi guys! First time posting here. I have a small flock of chickens that are 2 years old now- and this spring I decided to add some new ones. These three were sold to me as straight run Ameraucanas. This breed is new to me! And I've heard they are difficult to sex. Also from reading previous...
I need guidance, I have 2 roosters in my flock of 17. I knew this day would come when one would have to go away. Well that day was yesterday, the dominant rooster (Bumble) chased (Hawks) roo #2 away until he literally when through the fence to our neighbors yard. Currently all hens follow Bumble...
Making this thread so you can show off your peeps! Post pics and there breeds or mixes! I would also love to see cool crosses! Also hoping to get some inspo on some more potential breeds I love seeing them!
Here’s some of ours!
1) we have our Rooster who is an EE I think brown red ameracauna...
Hello, I have an 11 week old (as of first week in June) Croad Langshan Ameraucana cross from Alchemist Farm. I’ve heard them called Alchemist Giants, currently you cannot directly buy them, they are only available if you get one of their 10 chick surprise/homestead assortments. He is sweet and...
I have some Lavender Ameraucana pullets and a cockerel. I was thinking of getting myself some Ermine Ameraucana eggs for my birthday. I have been experimenting with chicken genetics 🧬. What would I get if I combine:
Lavender x Ermine
Lavender x White with Ermine
Lavender x Splash BBS
I'm still struggling to identify a few of my chickens and hopefully yall can help me! They are about 8.5 weeks old now. No one has tried to crow yet. I have seen some behaviors out of a few of them that have me leaning a certain way. If you think you know, can you please explain what you are...
Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...
We were told we got lavender orpingtons, speckled Sussex, and light Brahma. I think we can differentiate those ones, but we also got olive eggers and ameracaunas; I can’t tell which they are… and I think there might be one more kind.
The first 5 photos are of the 3 chicks I can’t identify...
I have 5 EE/amercauna chicks that I had ordered from the TSC app. They are about 3-4 weeks old and I was hoping someone experienced with them; could possibly TRY and see if they can tell if one or more are a pullet. I'm sorry if the pictures aren't the best... they're quite antsy lol TIA
What do y’all believe to be the best scenario in a BBS pen?- particularly Ameracaunas and Marans. Blue roo over BBS hens? Black roo over BBS pens? Any other *kind* info is appreciated too!!
hey guys! so i’m just looking for some input, outside of my own brainstorming. feel free to pm me if you don’t want to give away your secrets publicly. 😉
i’m preparing to start a project, creating my own breeds of colored eggers. shooting for all green shades, may mess around with blue but only...
I recently bought this trip and I’m curious how true of silver ameracauna these look? I’ve read the pea combs are supposed to be smaller and the roosters is large. Any good info at all is appreciated❤️❤️
