Ameri-flower is a special mix that @MyPetChicken does.
I am thinking it is a cross between an Ameraucana and a Swedish Flower Hen.

Any more specifics? Do they lay special eggs? Are they pretty colors? Etc.
I always have hawks. Always (they nest in or near my yard). But there have been a lot more around in the past day or so - it's that time of year.I noticed my birds acting strange the last few days... this morning I seen why. I have a hawk.![]()
Hopefully I can drive her away before the babies come.
My brothers wife just stretches a wire back and forth across the top of her chicken run to deter the hawks, seems to work wonderfully. I don't have an outdoor run built yet, but I plan to do the same thing.
I have several different "family groups" and they have large fenced paddocks (which I rotate to allow the ground to recover). I stretch that surveyor tape back and forth criss-crossed over the top of the paddock. While not perfect protection, it has worked well so far, and new hawks occasionally perch in trees just above them as if they are trying to figure it out, before giving up. I realize they may make it trough one day, but it's a reasonable deterrent. That, and most of my chickens have good instincts about when to take cover.We actually used bright purple strips of cloth in a huge "spider-web" to stop the hawks.A very unique looking yard but it worked.![]()
Hey, draye!!!Quote:Ameri-flower is a special mix that @MyPetChicken does.Okay what us an Ameri-flower?
Quote: This was taken from the MPC website:
Ameri-Flowers - Most of these chicks will hatch crested, and grow into large, friendly birds that will lay green eggs. All of the flash of a Blommehonne, with production-like laying!
@draye , are you thinking what I'm thinking?! These are BEGGING to be crossed with NNs as part of the Calico/Aloha NN goal! I look forward to seeing what these turn out to be like...

I found a solution for my eggs due while I am gone in the form of a broody hen someone could not keep. She was sitting on at least 20 eggs, and she's a bantam! They did not separate her, so all hers are at different development stages. Should I stick em in my spare bator to see what happens?
Left broody in new pen (indoor brooder) with a blanket on the top and 3 of her eggs. Crossing fingers she settles down on them. If so, I plan to trade her for my 8 GFF line eggs due Sat.
She's a cutie-looks like a bantam barred rock. Almost made me cry-lost my favorite hen who was a full-size br.
And I definitely am interested in that cross.I always have hawks. Always (they nest in or near my yard).

My yard looked horrific with all that criss-crossed pink tape - so I ordered dark green tape off of Amazon. Still works, but looks a lot better.We actually used bright purple strips of cloth in a huge "spider-web" to stop the hawks.A very unique looking yard but it worked.

agreed. Just put tgem in after candling. Lots of different development stages, some looks a few days and some 14.I'd stick them in the bator. Even if they hatch at different times its still great to give each one a chance.![]()
Best of luck!
