Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Thanks for the advice. What exactly is wry tail?
I believe Artie was too close to the chicken wire and was pulled through headfirst, and then piece by piece

But I have since added plywood around the bottom to keep the coon from reaching through to the younger ones, and we've also got a live catch trap set out, which we will hand over to animal control if we catch him, but no luck so far. It shouldn't be a problem either way though anymore, hopefully.

Wry tail is a genetic defect where the tail is cocked to one side... it's a DQ for showing and breeding...

Good luck with the coon... personally, I've found a diet of lead to be the best solution, lol...

Lol, if I wasn't in town, that would be my go-to solution. Can't wait till we get our homestead ready to move to and I can shoot any varmints that dare tussle with my babies!!

Anyone have a picture of a blue silver? That sounds interesting.

Here are 5 of our 11 chicks. These are the ones that Dash won't take. I am loving their colors and can't wait for them to feather out.

I agree. They are a really nice color combo, a bit different than I was thinking. Didn't know there were that many around.
