    Is this a bantam Ameraucana?

    I bought my first ever chicks seven weeks ago, and five of them are Ameraucanas. They are quickly turning into my favorites because they are so sweet-natured and curious. However, one of my Ameraucanas is significantly smaller than her four counterparts and much smaller than the other seven...

    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...

    Hello! ☺️ I ordered some bbs chicks and it was too late to have the hatchery mark them, so I am very confused and I have no idea which is which. 😩 I’m splitting the order with someone so I don’t want to give them the wrong ones! They all look the same to me lol. They are ALL BBS (blue black or...

    Ameraucanas - cockerels or pullets?

    Hey everyone! I have three 14-week old black Ameraucanas and they still have me stumped on what they are. They’re not yet laying age but I don’t see any obvious saddle feathers and have not heard any crows, combs are still pale but their feathering throws me. This is my first time with true...

    EE rooster breeding

    I have an EE rooster from Meyer hatchery and it's supposed to breed true when bred with one of their EE hens. I also have some Ameraucana hens and I want to know what the chances are that the resulting hens from the "Ameraucana X EE" cross will lay eggs that are not brown or white. I...

    Blue Ameraucana rooster

    Hi Everyone! I have a pet quality Blue Ameraucana rooster that I need to find a fabulous life for. He was hatched 3/25/22. He was hand raised and handled everyday. Quite frankly he thinks he is a parrot. LOL. He is very laid back and very sweet. It breaks my heart that I can't have him here...

    What is this?!

    It was supposed to be an Ameraucana (not Easter egger) but it doesn’t look that way. What breed do you think it is? I got it from a local Hatcher - its “sister” is a blue Ameraucana with muffs though. Maybe it got mixed up. 😅

    Lavender ameraucana and silkie hybrid chicks. Can the sex be determined through wing sexing? Help!

    Hi all, I have two recently hatched (just a day old) chicks that I’m wondering can be sexed. There is a lavender ameraucana and another one crossed with a silkie. From what my knowledge is, I’d assume we have a hen and a roo- but I’m not very sure. May anyone help? Thanks!

    Meet the flock + need your help on roo watch!

    Hello all, new chicken mama Cassie here. I ordered 11 pullets from MMH that are now almost a month old, so of course I am now playing the paranoid “pullet or cockerel??” game. I thought I’d introduce the ladies and see if any of you experienced eagle-eyes notice something I hadn’t, especially if...

    Mystery: Turken born with feathered neck?!

    Somehow, and I’m dumbfounded by this, the Turken x Ameraucana mix which hatched has neck feathers?! I may be mistaken, but for the longest time I’ve known for a fact that the Turken gene in chickens is always dominant, no matter what the cross is? Am I right? I thought that they only needed one...

    Crested Chickens in Breeding

    Hello. Just wondering if anyone knew about genetics and breeding say, an Ameraucana rooster with a Crevecoeur hen, and if it would result in crested offspring? No way to tell for sure if the eggs are definitely a Crevecoeur or just an Andalusian or leghorn, but best guess says two in the...

    Formula for Champions

    So I have a questions for breeders. We just had our NPIP test done and my tester happened to breed and show Ameraucanas. We are rather new to the breed but I have a breeder pen currently that I'm working with. She told me that they require more protein in their diet compared to your general run...

    Anyone want to take a guess as to what this Ameraucana is crossed with?

    My Ameraucana lays light brown eggs with tiny white spots (pictured) and has these two single distinctive feathers on either side of her tail which I've never seen before. The bottoms of her feet are yellow and she so has a few darker feathers. She's also slightly aggressive towards people and...

    2 Roosters in Granville, OH

    I have 2 Ameraucana-mixes (I'm not sure what the mother/s was/were as there were several different breeds in the flock) that I'm looking to re-home. They hatched 6/21/2021 and were hand raised, so they have been as decent as a rooster can be with people so far. They are really beautiful birds...

    Frostbite, vent gleet, curly toes, and molt

    So some backstory. My blue wheaten ameraucana chickens name is Gimble. Gimble has curly toe paralysis. We live in Northern BC. It's actually been super mild so far, with temps right at freezing. So my girls have been moulting for a good month and a half while Gimble just started about a week...

    Blue Ameraucana pullet or cockerel? 11 wks old

    One of my three blue ameraucanas has a comb coming in that looks a little bit fleshier than the others. Not sure if she might be a he or not - I have heard ameraucanas are tricky to sex at only 11 weeks. In every picture she/he is the one closest to the camera. Any educated guesses? Any advice...

    Blue Ameraucana - pullet?

    Pengu is our 7.5 week old (correction: 8.5 week old) Blue Ameraucana. I believe a pullet, but she displays aggressive behavior with our two cockerels more often than the other pullets. I've seen her defend other hens from rooster attention, is this behavior expected from a hen that is higher in...
