    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...

    What breed is it?

    I might buy this chicken and I’m wondering your guesses on what breed it is. It seems to have a pea comb so thinking ameraucana cross or brahma cross. I don’t see a beard but can an Ameraucana cross not have a beard? I’m really hoping it would lay a coloured egg but if it’s leaning more towards...

    Pullets or Cockerels? Key for integration!

    I have five, 8-week olds with momma in a run adjacent to the rest of my flock. Broody hen is DONE with the rowdy teenagers and wants back with the flock... But I fear there is only one pullet in the batch and don't want to leave that one to be integrated on it's own in a couple of weeks. So -...

    Ameraucana pullet? 11 weeks

    I feel like I can almost feel okay saying she’s a she…but I’ve never had an Ameraucana or a pea comb breed so I just need confirmation I’m mostly safe thinking she’s a she! I got burned by my first birds and all my favorites were eventual boys so I’m super paranoid haha. I have two, they look...

    4.5 month blue Ameraucana, Sacramento

    Hi everyone! I’m looking to find a home for this sweet, docile, handsome boy. Great with us, kids and the dogs. He’s still a bit dorky and trips over his feet or off of the side of the deck while trying to impress the ladies.. He enjoys beard scratches, foot/leg rubs and is easily picked up and...

    BIG bantam ameraucana egg! Double yolker!

    One of my black bantam ameraucanas laid a big ole double yolker, it was the size of a Grade A Large store bought egg (the white egg is store egg for comparison). It came from either either a 2.5 or 1 year old hen. Couldnt have been fun laying 😬😬😵

    are cackle ameraucanas worth the price?

    i feel mean phrasing it that way lol. but are cackle ameraucanas up to the SOP enough to be worth 20$ a pullet? at that price if they’re “hatchery quality” i feel like i’d rather just buy from a breeder. tyia

    EE or Ameruacana??

    I bought these hens as Ameraucana but apparently they can be mislabeled and actually EEs? I’m sorry these photos are terrible they are super flighty. I guess I can always wait to see what they lay but didn’t know if it’s possible to tell at this age. The one with the Carmel/black chicken is a...

    Heritage chickens in Nova Scotia / New Brunswick (Ameraucanas)?

    Hi all, I’m here in beautiful Nova Scotia and am trying to track down some Ameraucana pullets. Does anyone know of any breeders in the province who might have some available? New Brunswick is also an option. Thanks!

    Six weekers 😍

    Updated photos of our chicks! After a few questions on breeds, I think we nailed it…maybe. Now we are (not so patiently) waiting to find out genders. Speckled Sussex BW Crested Polish Black Australorp Barred Cochin Appenzeller Spitzhauben White Ameraucana (because the legs are gray)

    Is This A Splash Wheaten Ameraucana Cockerel Or Pullet?

    Hi, I’m on the fence if this is a splash wheaten cockerel or not. Definitely acts a little boyish and is getting the bumps on comb (I will try to get a picture of his comb). Please let me know what you think

    Is this a rooster?? Sold as an ameraucana

    It's 11 weeks old very friendly and I'm hoping it isn't a roo or else I have to give away as I live in town.

    Can purebred black ameraucanas have any white on them?

    So, I got 20 easter eggers about 10 weeks ago from a hatchery that also sells pure black and blue ameraucanas (who knows if this is true, though.) One cockerel in the whole batch looks like a purebred ameraucana, I very much doubt he actually is, but he has all the characteristics. He has a pea...

    Pullet or Rooster?

    On April 11 of 2021, 3 baby chicks finally hatched from their incubator. Unfortunately 1 ended up disappearing outside, however I have 2 left that I would like to know the sex of. I will attach photos for reference. Any help would be appreciated!:wee This is chick 1. It is a Golden Laced...

    I'm their perch now, and I have no say in the matter! :lol: All they want to do is play and cuddle. Hard to believe they were just little eggs this time last month. Now they're big cuddly chicks!

    Do I have pullets or cockerels or both?

    Hi All, First-time chicken keeper here, and I purchased a flock of 6 day-old "hens" from McMurray Hatchery, plus the one "mystery chick." I completely understand that sexing chicks is difficult, but I live in a subdivision and I am nervous that I'm ending up with more than the one possible roo...
