THanks. She is twice the size of my 13 week old girls and is younger. They are big birds though. She even has feathers on her legs. Been googeling the breed, pretty interesting!

How are the other birds taking to her?? What have you found out??

Today, I have been cleaning up years of my uncle's life. About ten years ago, my aunt came to me and said that my uncle was not acting like himself. I noticed it too. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 2 years ago. When the property got too big for them to handle, they sold it to a couple that are great. Now  my wife and I are the caretakers of the property and house. The reason I am bringing this up is to let y'all know that anything can come out of me this evening. I love my uncle very much, and am having a hard time accepting he no longer is in control of himself. So, as I was cleaning up the property today, I had a lot of time to reflect. I am sorry I am such a downer tonight, but it has been a trying day. Love y'all and God Bless.

Sorry Ken . That is a very painful diagnosis (for family & friends). I will be praying for you & your family.

They are scared of her but she doesnt mess with them and they dont mess with her. I have my Black Australop that is a B#$% and has been in "chicken jail" isolation for two weeks. I put her back in today too. Those two had it out real quick but the new girl put her in her place pretty quick. If the BA doesnt straighten up soon she will be dinner before she lays her first egg.

The BCM is considered a rare bird. The females are only supposed to have the copper on their neck and head(mine does). Considered a flaw if its down the back or on the chest. Can have feathered legs but not necessary(English version dont usually)(mine has them). More common in France and with true breeding. Can have a green sheen but not a fault if not(mine does). They tint the egg a dark brown when its laid. The color can actually rub off. More people friendly than other chickens. She doesnt make a sound when I pick her up. The others act like I am killing them.

Here's the pics of my Ameicauna along with the difference in the size of their eggs. The large one comes from the grey and the smaller one comes from Cricket, our Americauna.The grey EE is named KFC!!! Long story behind that name.

That is a huge egg!

Sounds like you got a great bird. I got where I try to handle all my birds regularly. They are at the point now whre I think they are saying, " When is daddy going to pick us up and pet us?" Everytime I walk out and they are right there, they squat when I walk by and look up, expecting attention!!

Yeah, I get one like that from her every day. She takes a rest now and then, but pretty much everyday I get one like that from her. Why do you think I want more like her???
