Americauna chicks hatched July 8th, 2020. Sexed female and vaccinated for Mereks and coccidiosis by the hatchery.
The Ameraucana is a pea comb, clean legged variety that originated in the U.S. Good disposition, non-aggressive & very cold hardy. Production quality, not for use in 4-H showing as...
As a first time chick mom I am learning as I go but I'm a little stumped with how I should try to introduce or encourage the chicks to start getting used to their nesting boxes. They have been in their big coop for a month and they just haven't been interested in the nesting boxes. They are just...
We recently got a few Ameraucana chicks (currently around 4 days old.) We noticed how of these chicks was reluctant to move and stood away from the group. We brought her inside and discovered she had spraddle leg! When we were trying to put the hobbles on her legs I noticed how she had a bloated...
Got 6 chicks from the local feed mill this spring. I was supposed to get 3 Easter Eggers. Two I am certain are Easter Eggers, but the 3rd doesn’t look the same. She has light grey and light brown....the other two are chestnut and black. Do Easter Eggers come in different color variations...
I have 1 wheaten ameraucana, and 3 olive Eggers from the same breeder. They are wheaten ameraucana and I think maran mix. They have feathered feet and pea combs light slate colored legs. I think I've come the conclusion at least 1 is a blue wheaten cockerel. I'd like confirmation on the others...
First time chicken raiser here. I raised this Ameraucana as a several day old chick in mid March, this week is week 12. She grew much larger than all the other 4 chicks (2 Speckled Sussex, 1 Polish crested, 1 Barnevelder) and is now the most dominant of the flock but not mean, just seems more...
Hello,
This is my first time with chicks as I’ve always had adult hens.
I think I may need to take some new pics. Tricky to take lol.
Anyways here are photos of 5 of Cuckoo Maran’s, 5 of my Ameraucana’s and the free chick that I call Sunday Special (I’m thinking boy).
Can anyone guess genders...
This is Brownie. I’ve been wavering back and forth on whether it’s a he or she. I absolutely love his/her temperament and he/she will just chill in my lap. Been sitting here for a good ten minutes just chillin. He/she has a pea comb, with 3 visible peas. He/she is about 7 weeks (got from the...
Just got these silkie/ameracauna cross chicks. They all have a distinct feather pattern. One has black on buff/tan, one has white on brown, and the other has orange on black. (Sorry about the black one being dusty, she tried to dust bathe in her food.) What is the feather pattern called? I can't...
We rescued her years ago. Sweetest hen we’ve ever had and the smartest. She lived with no coop and no one feeding or giving her water for years. She would roost in a tree that had a pair of red tail hawks living in and hatching eggs every year.
Are either of these two Blue Wheaten Ameruacana? The darker one looks like a Blue Wheaten Ameruacana but idk about the other one. Any help is appreciated!!
I’m looking for a Araucana hen I live in south jersey. I love Easter eggers I have Easter egger hens and a rooster. I love the personalities, I also love arucaunas but can’t find any hatcheries selling them I like the fact that they lay blue eggs have friendly personalities and have an adorable...
These are 7wk old Lavender/self blue Ameraucanas hatched from shipped eggs. All but one hatched from the pointiest eggs I think the breeder could find and while it’s a wives tale, I think I have 3 cockerels and one pullet. Let me know what you think. Also they have been very slow to feather and...
Hi all! i posted 6 weeks ago when we first got our chicks asking what breed they were. i got some answers that were very helpful but we have at least 8 different breeds and not all were identifiable at that age! she is very large and mostly black with some reddish brown.
this lovely lady is...

I’ve recently added 4 pullets to the chicken family. We got two pairs from two different breeders. Two of my girls are no doubt hens, but the other two are beginning to be a little questionable. I got these two from the same breeder, who told me they were the same age. I think my Ameraucauna...
We have 13 new chicks that are about 6 weeks old. I am suspecting that the ameraucana and golden laced Wyandotte might be roos. Would you mind giving me your opinion??
The ameraucana is bigger than all the others. S/he is sweet and non-aggressive although very independent (which is our...
