. I thought the chick on the left was a brown leghorn but she's beginning to look just like my Ameraucana. Thoughts?
Hmmm, him? her?
Preference for a generic gender for a chick like cats of unknown gender are she and dogs are he?
First impression, really early guess?
Thanks! Just built it a couple weeks ago. I'll add one more after we move to give them more space as they grow. Right now there are 10 in the bottom and 18 up top just a couple weeks younger.
Ill keep an eye out for the signs. There are 2 or 3 that im pretty sure of.
Last photo I took of Gypsy, who is will be 9 (yep, nine) years old in November and is currently laying. Half of her lineage is Cree Farms, who I believe after many years dropped out of breeding Ameraucanas to do some other livestock. They had beautiful stock, though.
Snow is in this photo below just a few months younger than Gypsy. She has severe arthritis on her left hock so cannot walk well without using her wings, but she's still kicking, though like a little white haired lady with a cane. She is full Cree Farms. The barred hen behind her is Panda, 1/2 Barred Rock and 1/2 Blue Ameraucana, same age as Snow, 8 years old. I think that's Gypsy at the nest box, too. Actually, Panda and Gypsy had the same blue Ameraucana mother so they're half sisters.
