    Previous Layer Not Laying but in Nesting Box

    I have a 2 year old Ameraucana who would leave me a pretty green egg each day. She hasn’t laid in about 4 days but I find her in the nesting box each day- but no egg. All of my other hens lay brown eggs so I’m not confusing her eggs for another or vice versa. I’ve had a broody hen and she’s not...

    Stumped on these few

    I have four 6 week old chicks that I got as straight run black ameraucanas. 2 black & 2 were supposed to be splash but they look more blue. I need help figuring out whether they’re hens or roos please. Some have tails, short tails, almost no tails, muffs, and no muffs. So confused, haha. The red...

    Possbile broody chicken?

    One of my chickens, who has been broody that past two summers, has not laid an egg for the past week. She looks healthy with a bright red comb and eats and free ranges with the rest of the chickens. I am finding her, however, in the coop standing or sitting next to the nesting boxes but not...

    Ameraucana Molting

    I have a sweet Ameraucana that was given to me last year. Over the past week-which has been hot-she has begun to lose feathers so I just assumed she’s molting. But she’s been hanging out by herself a lot in the yard and in the hen house. When she does come when I call, she’s lagging behind and...

    Ameraucana Not Laying

    We got 4 hens from a breeder who was downsizing a little over a week ago. She said they are all between 1-2 years old and all were currently laying. The Ameraucana was broody and she moved her off her nest when we bought her. She had been sitting on an unfertilized egg for 3 weeks at the same...

    Do EE/Ameraucana Roosters crow a lot??

    Hi guys!! So, I have a quick question. We just figured out that one of our EE/Ameraucana chicks is actually gonna be a roo, so we wanted to know how quiet they typically are. I get that all roosters have different personalities, and Archimedes is actually really sweet as far as petting and...

    Ameraucana: Best in food, companion and breeding at The Maine Homeseatd

    Blue eggs are a lovely addition to the hobbyist backyard chicken enthusiast's basket. Upon an afternoon stroll through the garden to a whimsically built coop a smile light the face of the egg gatherer knowing a little blue gem awaits in the nesting box. It really brightens up the rainbow egg...
