   If I say I moved to MI, can I still be an active lurker here?

Personally, I would prefer you do more than lurk!

Welcome back to you and your wife!

I had given 7 of the Ameracauna's eggs to a friend to hatch. 5 of them did today!

Male CCL
Those 2 can make beautiful, autosexing Olive Eggers together.

Hello All,
@fisherlady Cookie is still eating drinking, and acting like a chicken, but today the whole underside of her wing is a deep purple, like a bad bruise, there is no drainage, but a very large amount of swelling, she still has her wing extended down.



I got my first egg today! It's a duck egg, they layed it right next to the pond, it is so little, the size of a medium chicken egg.

So Exciting!

They aren't laying yet (hatched 4/5). Hopefully, they will start laying this fall and I can make some available then.

Do you hatch them out or will you only sell eggs? I have been looking into the LF and Bantam lavender Ameraucanas since you said you had them. Showed them to my husband and he's in awww of them too. We just started raising chickens and at this point don't want to start hatching them.

I wanted to show some pictures i do need to take some of the new silkies and the little polish babies though.

The turkeys

The two CCL boys that i decided to keep for next season's breeding

The BCM keeper. Only one season though. His comb is a little off. I told everyone that he doesn't get a name since he won't be around for too long. Immediately, hubby said "he who shall not be named". He is now Voldemort lol

A few of the lavender ameraucana babies, just hanging out on the wood pile

Everyone have a safe and happy 4th of July!

I got Ameraucanas at the feed store. Am I safe to assume they aren't true Ameraucanas and they are more than likely EE. Are either Ameraucanas or EE uniform in looks or will all of them look different?
Just getting started and I'm hooked on chickens!!! We have 16 14 wk olds, 8 13 wk olds and 6 2 wk olds. Not all Ameraucanas. A good mixture.

To be honest, Myer Hatchery in Polk, Ohio began selling true Ameraucanas last year I think. In their description, they will tell you the difference between Easter Eggars and Ameraucanas. They bend over backward explaining that these really are the true breed.
Meaning, while I doubt the feed stores, anything is possible.
