Hi all,
I have two chicks sold to me as pure Ameraucanas. #1 is from a breeder and #2 is from TSC. Is it too early to tell sex?
Chick 1: lively and very funny. About 4 weeks. I haven't seen any chest bumping or other behavior from it so I'm hoping it's a pullet. It often runs over to me and gives me The Look like it wants me to pick it up, so I do, and then it fusses at me while not resisting at all but seems to enjoy hanging out on my shoulder and snacking on mealworms. I've read about Ameraucana flightiness so I've been doing my best to handle them as much as possible. This one and a few of its siblings seem to enjoy it. The rest of its siblings couldn't care less, lol.
Chick 2: Kylo Hen. The weirdest chick I have ever owned. No interest in playing or mealworms. Perfectly healthy, just seems incredibly committed to doing as little as possible.
Thanks in advance!!
