Ours is a high flyer also but a real snuggle bug. She is very vocal and chirps at you when you are holding her and talking to her. She pays attention when you are talking to her...turning her head, stretching her neck and chirping. She gives my daughter 'kisses'. You'll love her....

An adorable baby, but are you sure it's an Ameraucana? All of them that I have seen (and I have a few from Ideal in my basement right now) have legs that are a greyish green, and more fuzz on their cheeks. Not trying to burst your bubble, just looks different than any that I ever had. Regardless, just a cutie! Enjoy her (or him...)

So I went back to the Feed store and turns out someone gave back four of the babies from the same day I bought Bambi! SO who could say no to four? Now I have 5! And from what everyone is telling me, they must be EE's because they are from Ideal huh? Now they had a BIG order of Ideal 236 productions that a guy was supposed to pick up but he has not payed and he may be backing down at taking them! They are all Pullets too! AHH! I need to stay away from there or I might be coming home with like 50 more! lol. Here are the new babies! Bambi's sisters!
