Hi everyone. I got my first EE’s 7 weeks ago, and they are beautiful looking. I ordered 4 pullets and 1 cockerel, but I’m suspecting that 2 are cockerels and 3 are pullets. I want to see if anyone has roosters or hens that looked like them, but I also just want to see all the gorgeous roosters...
Hi! I’m hoping that someone will help me sex my 8 1/2 Week Ameraucana chicks. I am confident on the gender of the other chicks but cannot tell if these guys are cockerels or pullets?
Chick #1
Chick #2
Chick #3
Chick #4

The combs of chicks 4 and 5 don’t get redder than...
This chick was sent to me as a “surprise rare breed”. I can’t tell from its markings what it is. I am thinking either an Ameracauna or partridge olive egger. Unless there is something else it could be?
Hello BYC community! Have used this resource for years and today felt like the right day to finally sign up!
Our journey with chicks has been a long and wonderful one. Would take too long to mention all the highs and lows but just wanted to offer that I’m here for continued learning from the...
I bought these chicks from Tractor Supply 3 weeks ago. The grey one is supposed to be sapphire gem hen and the brown one americauna hen. The grey one has me puzzled. Is it really a hen or a roo? Thank you
Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if my ameraucana chicken is a rooster? Her name is Sweetie and my husband and I bought her among others a couple months ago as chicks/pullets. We are new to raising chickens. We have 11 total and we know the odds are likely to having a rooster. He heard...
I was thinking some where americaunas and the one black rooster with the comb. I was thinking he was a australorp, maybe.
And I believe outta 7 of them. I only have 1 hen. 6 I believe are roosters. Tell me if I'm wrong. Cause I might be.
I really hoping yall can help me with what kind I have...
I adopted this lovely rooster today. He looks like my Easter egger mixed with something. Gorgeous green in his tail feathers with a rainbow sheen in the light. Any idea what kind of mix he might be?
my chicken constantly pants. she’s mostly indoors, living in my house with me because she can’t eat by herself (severe crossbeak), so i can’t imagine it has anything to do with heat. she’s definitely uncomfortable, and can’t settle down when she’s having these “episodes”. has anyone had the same...
My EE chick is about two and a half weeks old and is smaller then my one day old Ameracaunas and I wasn’t sure why this is? The chick is otherwise healthy it just hasn’t grown at the same rate as my other EE’s and I was wondering if there’s anything I can do?
Hello all, I am looking for an Ameraucana pullet but I need help to be able to distinguish (as much as possible) genders. I know sexing Ameraucanas young is difficult, if not impossible, but does anyone have tips on what to look for? The ones I’m looking at are 4-5 weeks old maybe. I know most...
Just acquired a few new 7-8 week olds to my flock and I'm questioning the breeds. I was told the left 2 are Starlight Green Eggers, middle is a buff Orpington, next is unknown or possibly Golden Comet, and last is BR which is obvious. The buff looks nothing like my 2 buffs so I don't think she's...
I'm hoping to get some advice on good places to purchase ameracauna chicks.
There aren't any feed stores that sell them around my area and I'm conflicted about where I should buy them online. One site will sell chicks for $20+ while others will sell for a lot cheaper. Is there a quality...
Gumball was relaxing in the coop, while Cupcake was in the Chook Feast Store(aka the dining room) while some of the others were just chilling. Laksmi the Houdan was pretty much messing with Copper while he was tidbitting his little hens. Ponyo(aka Copper's GF) was with the other hens, while some...
I'm on Day 3 of my first ever attempt at hatching and to say I'm excited is to say nothing!
So far, 5 of my 10 eggs are growing beautifully with a nice clear view of the start of the embryo. The other 5 are showing no signs of growth, though; no veins or anything have formed. At first only 2...
Help! I’ve got a 6 week old Ameracauna chick with wry neck. We’ve been isolating her, as well as supplementing selenium, vitamin E, and adding electrolytes to her water.
She seemed a little better for a few days, but today she’s been writhing as her neck will twist and then she is “stuck” on...
What mix do you guys think these are. We were told a mix between amercauna black copper maran and maybe silkie they said likely OE/EE we have some azure blues and some brown laying red sex links currently. Thoughts anyone they are both very nice boys
new to this. Thanks
A few years ago, after starting out with a flock of grown hens given to me by a friend, I decided to get a few chicks to raise. A young and inexperienced chick keeper, I headed over to TSC and carefully picked out six chicks in breeds of interest to me. I was naive to the TSC stories of woe, in...
A few days ago I noticed my amerucana rooster has no feathers on one leg and has lost quite a few tail feathers. Also his skin is very red in those places without feathers. His leg appears to possible be trying to grow feathers back. He is in a pen/coop with 5 hens and they are all perfectly...
