You need Silkied Ameraucana

I would love some

I just saw your pics of them a few weeks ago and thought they were pretty cool. Are the hardy like regular Ameraucanas are?

How's this for a different bird? She is a buff naked neck, buff silkie cross.... I love her, even though she is so shy.


A couple of her hatch mates. It is so amazing to me to see how different they all came out...

Sorry to change the flow... what's a good wormer to pick up at TSC?
We rescued two hens tonight.. would have taken the roo too (We SOO need a friendly/mature roo!) but I am pretty sure he has bumble foot and not sure if I trust myself yet to fix him! He was SOO sweet! I prob carried him around for 10 mins without him even flinching.. poor guy! One I THINK may be a BO? and the other a Copper Maran? They are underweight which I know they aren't getting enough to eat as they have only been free ranging in this drought and heat.. Poor ladies they ran right to the food and wouldn't stop! (can a chicken founder?

) Anyhow.. this was unexpected and I keep forgetting to pick up some wormer to have on hand!.. I do have SEVEN so will dust them but think they need a good worming! Sure wish I could have taken them all.. soo sweet and just looking for love! Hubby totally fell in love with them but I had to stop him at 2! lol
Here are our two new hens.. happy to have a good home!
The Buff is "Lady" (hubby named her) *Does she look like a BO?)


And the black/copper is "Hope" as we have given her 'hope' ps... her legs are molting like crazy!

Wondering if it is normal for Silkies to be CRAZY broody hens? Ours is broody again and I find it rather odd, I love seeing her with her 2 month old chick.


and one because I think they are so cute together....

Getting a piggy back ride because Momma hen got tired of hearing her baby whining...lol

Do legs moult? Sorry I really don't know, I thought if they were really scalley (sp?) that was mites not moulting.

Assuming so as you can see the feathers.. or what were feathers (like when you pluck a chicken for meat) she still has some fluff on her legs but mostly that is what they look like.. I will take a pic tomorrow

Hey b2s, that first one def looks like a BO. But its possible to be a buff rock...look at some pics and see. But she looks alot like my BO's

Actually, it is from my red sex link hen! It is super small though...hoping they will get bigger! This is her first one!

The only difference is the feathers
