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❤️❤️
Hi! We have some young chickens but pretty sure we heard some crowing this morning. Now we are trying to figure out if we potentially have more than one rooster.
These are the 3 (personality wise) we think could be cockerels. We are nearly certain the gray silkie is male. We’d love your...
Hey there! Does anyone happen to have pictures of a mosaic and ameracauna mix? Also, does this mix make an Easter Egger chick?
Thank you and I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm new-ish to this! So much to learn!!
Hello all, We ordered some blue black splash Ameraucan's and 2 easter egger chicks. I don't know how to tell what colors they are for the Ameraucana's and I think the 2 Easter Eggers are the ones with the light head and the darker bodies but I just don't know. And the colors range between pale...
Hello! This is my first ever post after months of lurking as a non member!
I have a small mixed flock.
These are my believed americuanas (no Tufts/moustache)
I'm aware it's hard to sex from birth.. I hatched these from an egg in April this year and there still not laying ... Can anyone tell...
I got these 10 as babies from a feed store. They told me they were Ameracaunas, however, I know many times they are not true. Just curious if your thoughts if they are actually EE? Thank you!!
Hello all!
I have a trio of Lavender Ameracuanas, born 5/13. I’m usually solid on sexing at this age, but I’m having difficultly with these Ameracaunas.
I’m confident on Lavender pullet #3, but I need some help now with Lavender #1 and #2. Lavender #1 absolutely acts male, #2 does not...
I know this is a long shot, but have to try. We pandemic-hatched a bunch of chickens and there are just too many for us. I’m not feeling up to the normal culling after the last few years. If anyone is interested, please let me know - I will even drive them up to forty minutes if I have to 😂 They...
Hello! I’m new to backyard chicken. My husband and I live in South Carolina. Our first batch of 4 heritage birds turned out to all be roosters, so we had to rehome them. Now, We have an adult white Americauna hen and adult White Face Spanish hen. We have 10 week old Light Brahma (not sure on...
Hi All,
I was hoping I could get some advice on how to save this chick. I bought her at 3 days old from a breeder and she seemed healthy, but after about a week I noticed she wasn't growing as fast as the others and that her right eye was swelling shut.
The wait lists for avian vets where I...
The following are Easter Egger x Lavender Ameracauna crosses, 6 weeks old. I can’t seem to put my finger on these babies in terms of gender. I’ve already culled out the males from this breeding group. The males had bright red pea combs and hints of wattles starting. I’ll post some reference...
I have a 6 year old Ameracauna. She hasn't layed eggs for a couple years now. She has always been petite and not a super hungry girl. Recently she had diarrhea and was acting out of it. The bet gave her vitamin b, de wormer, pain relief and antibiotics. For a while she seemed better and was...
Hello folks, bought this hen from a hardware store, labeled Americauna. She came out black and white with blue feet, but she's not a splash, she's not a blue, she's not wheaten, and I cannot find another one colored like her.
Ignore the sapphire behind her.
So naturally, I am here to ask the...
Hi! I have 4 straight run Ameraucanas that are 7 weeks old - 2 are Roos, 1 is a pullet and then we have mystery chicken here. What are your thoughts? The comb is more red in the photo than in real life and also isn’t as red or as big as the Roos - which is why I’m stumped. 😂 Photos of the comb...
Our little lady hatched around December 18 laid her first egg today! She’s a blue Ameraucana, we’re still waiting on our salmon Faverolles, followed by a bunch of younger girls starting with a Houdan next month. We have a fully mixed flock so the lay dates are all over the place.
The big girls...

Hi all! I have 19 new pullets, hatched late January to midFebruary. It has been a super busy Spring, with some work travel, and then one day I looked outside and thought, “omg, how did you two get so big?!” and then a few days ago…”how did I miss it…y’all are dudes” 😂😂😂. So tell me, pullets or...
