I lost my second chicken to the heat today. My favorite lavender Ameracuana. She has always been a bit on the hefty side. Wonder if this played a part with the heat in her death?

kass, had that happen too, i am thinking a snake maybe??
That is a beautiful bird! True Ameraucana have what they call "slate" legs, which is a fancy name for gray. I've got 2 white Bantam Ameraucana that are about a month old now and their legs were gray at birth. Some of the Ameraucana people can be pretty uppity and unless you know the exact background of a particular bird they'll want to call it an EE. The differences can be confusing at times. I've got some hatching right now also, a Lavender and a Black just hatched and 3 others are pipped. I'm sure hoping for the Silver to hatch!
Got this girl today from a friend of my wife's. She has a small tractor in town and said she needed to get rid of this bird. Since I lost one of mine I gladly accepted. Is this a white ameraucana? It has that beard and greenish colored legs. It seems a bit on the smaller side from my other birds of the same age so maybe a bantam??

I caught my 1st snake tonight when I was tucking in the birds. I've got these way-too-expensive snake tongs that I carry around with me every night when I'm tucking birds in. Wouldn't you know I'd set them down when I saw the snake. Sigh. I actually had ahold of him and was waiting for my husband to lop it's head off because I couldn't work the loppers with 1 hand. I held him down with a board and was trying to get a better grip on him with the tongs and the slippery dang thing got away! He was only about 2 ft long but still! I was so mad at myself.kass, had that happen too, i am thinking a snake maybe??
well, this one just disappeared- so i have no idea what happened..
