Newbie here!

Hello, new member
My husband and I (and our 2 little boys) just became the proud owners of 34 chickens back in March. We have a mixture of Production Reds from Tractor Supply, an Easter Egger rooster, Ameraucanas, Whiting True Blues, and 1 Partridge Cochin.

My bestie referred me to this site since she has a few chickens herself and said you all have been super helpful!
I'm looking forward to all the information and fun to be had.

Welcome to BYC, unless your Ameraucanas came from a breeder, they are most likely EE's. You can post photos of them at "what breed or gender is this to get their opinions.

Got them from McMurray hatchery. They're said to be Ameraucana/Araucana mix. Just easier to type one breed instead of 2
