[La Mike]

Congrats. Mine are very friendly and just beautiful chickens

 

[Lacey1988]

That's nice to know cause we constantly have kids here

 

[La Mike]

They can be really sweet when you spend a little time on them. Never had any problems with roos on mine

 

[Lacey1988]

Well here they are:
Hopefully Both Girls but we shall see

I would love for someone to please show me the difference between a brown leghorn chick and this one..they look exactly the same to me..and if I look up brown leghorn chicks..this chipmunk guy is exactly what they look like.

 

[Lacey1988]

This one has puffy cheeks if you would look closely you probably could see it but he/she has their neck stuck out lol

 

[GiddyMoon]

Ok, so what exactly does puffy cheeks mean? I just got in my bunch yesterday and one lil yellow one has puffy cheeks..

Your chicks aren't Ameraucanas, they're Easter Eggers. Where did you get them? A feedstore? Or from a hatchery?

Both commonly mislabel EEs as "Ameraucanas" or "Americanas" or even as "Araucanas".
