Hi yall. I got a white Ameraucana hen that I just purchased this year as a chick in May. To try and make a long story short, one of my older Rhode Island Red hens would chase and bite her on the head and I guess eventually that drove her off or something, but she'd come back to visit once every few weeks then be gone again and soon as she came back.
Anyway she kept running off and I had wondered if she was visiting one of our neighbors down the road cause I saw chickens in their yard at one time. And today, she came home with 2 chicks. One looked just like she did as a chick the other is brown and we don't have any brown ones let alone a rooster. Apparently she had been visiting the neighbors chickens and they must have a rooster. I'm trying to figure out what kind the brown one is. I looked through efowl.com cause they have pictures of chicks with the chickens but I saw no matches. Anyone have any ideas? I know ameraucanas come in various colors but usually they have some sort of markings but this one has none that I can tell so far.
And something tells me my hen is gonna come home with more baby chicks in the future. Oh boy.
