Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Goose and Fig]

How about some baby pics ?!
There is a splash rock and blue frizzle in there too. I just love the "platinum blonde" of these little guys!

Took pics today since all except Gypsy is over her molt (but she's very quilly)

Charlotte, then Snow, then eating out of the pan with Ivy is poor skinny Gypsy.

Nora, my other blue, was being a little prissy-butt and refused to have her picture taken.

Beautiful birds!!! poor Gypsy hope she gets over her molt soon some of my girls looked like that a month ago to

Gypsy is vastly improved over a month ago. She had a completely bald head and neck for months! When she quit laying, the feathers suddenly popped out all over the place, but she still needs to gain her weight back.

Ya I hate the painfully skinny molting birds it makes me feel so bad there is nothing to do but give them protien and wait I guess. Glad she stopped laying

Me, too, Henry. Gypsy is a total lovebug, always asking to be picked up and carried, though now, it's obviously uncomfortable for her to be held with all these quills sticking out everywhere.

Awww.... Cynthia, I still have a couple of girls from eggs I hatched from you when I first started! It was nice to see new photos of your crew. Poor Gypsy girl.


And.... I found two blue Eggs today! Wahoo! I think my pullet #3 is my only non freeloader, besides one of my other blue hens. I was so excited, to bad my poor hubby still doesn't get it, lol. They were burried under a hay bale in my hay loft. My blue Hen had an egg in one of the nest boxes (smart girl that she is) so I know these eggs belong to somebody else. #3 looked awful pleased with herself!

Debbie, so glad to see you here! That's great that you still have some of my birds--it's been a very long time!
