Chickens have always been a big part of my childhood. My grandfather raised them passionately, cross breeding. Now it is my turn! I recently ordered 10 straight run Barred Rock and 5 straight run Buff Orpingtons from cacklehatchery.com. They haven't come in yet but I will definitely post pictures once they do :) I do have what are supposed to be 6 Ameraucanas. I'm sure they are really "easter eggers" but either way they are adorable! 2 of them are a little unusual. One I know for sure is NOT an Ameraucana, its smaller and black without the fuzzy beard. The other is also different because its much larger, fluffier, and waddles in a strange way, its personality is completely different from the others as well! Any insight on what the black one may be and why the other is so weird is much appreciated :D




This is the fuzzy one that is just so weird! lol



and the smaller black one is in the middle
 
The smaller black one could be black sex link. The fuzzy one is just fuzzy! I had Easter egger chicks last year and they all looked different! Fuzzy, smooth, all still ameraucanas. They are bred for variety. Hope this helps and good luck with your new flock!
