americana

My sweet Sapphire Gem, Vivien She’s working her way into the position of my “heart chicken”! She’d rather be a human than a chick! Our NOISY Buff girl, Sugar (Named by our 6 year old niece haha) I cant decide if her “voice” is just extra squeaky and loud or if she needs something more...

Yellow-ish white stuff is oozing from the chicken's vent. We have a mixed flock of laying hens, four of which are Americanas. One of those Americanas had this stuff oozing from her vent - we looked it up, deduced it must be gleet, which we understand to be a yeast infection, but didn't catch it...

So I've got 3 of the Americana Easter Eggers and I had a question regarding their leg colors. Two of them have that slate blue/greenish color, while the other has orange legs. What does this mean? Any indication of egg laying color? They turn two weeks old tomorrow. The orange legged one is...

Two almost three-year-old Easter Egger Hens available to a good home. They are great free-range birds, cold-hardy, come running for treats, but don't love being held. Both are poor to fair layers of green eggs. You must assure me that you have a proper coop for them if they'll be kept as layers...

Hi, I bought these as chicks, the guy said the parents were: a black ameraucana and a brown, (I think the brown was the hen, and the black the roo, but can't remember for sure...) As far as I can tell , they meet the breed standards for a true ameraucana, but I'd like to get some more...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this site. We bought 6 chickens 3 months ago who were already laying and are about 2-3 years old. I think.. I free range them in our fenced in back yard, they have about an acre to roam on with plenty of shrubs, bushes and trees to forage through. I feed them oyster...

Hello! Im new to all of this but My husband and I are raising chickens for the first time and though we ordered a pullet run (knowing there is always a small percentage you will get at least one Roo) Im wondering if one of our Americaunas (which I'm pretty sure is an EE) is a hen or a roo...

It's starting to look like a park in the run!

I have two, what I think are little boys, who need to find new homes. I have a true Lavender Ameraucana and an F1 Olive Egger (Black Cooper Marans/Black Ameraucana). They're both great personalities. The Olive egger has beautiful thickly feathered feet and huge muffs. The Lavender is a clown and...

Americana - Cackle Hatchery

Americana - 6 weeks Old

Lisa - 33 Days Old

Anyone ordered from Paris Farmers Union and feeling willing to share their experience? I'm looking at them specifically for Araucana pullets and (maybe) Embden goslings. I've read plenty of warnings that large hatcheries or retailers sell Araucanas, Easter Eggers, and Ameraucana or Americana...

Here are the babies - getting bigger and growing feathers! This week we saw many getting tail feathers and filling out wings. They are roosting on the bar we put into their brooder. They still seek out some heat under the heat plate, but most of the day they are not spending much time under...

I am looking for chickens(1-3) of the breeds silkies, easter eggers, americanas, or araucanas. Age doesn't matter, but they have to be female as we can not have roosters as much as we would like to I am located in Western Mass and am willing to drive a reasonable distance. Thanks!

She's almost 2 or 3 but I just now started wondering if she was an Easter egger or Americauna. She got disqualified from a show once because she had "green feet" (I no longer show, I don't like how they run) and I entered her as an Americauna because that's what I was told she was when I bought...

I have about a 2 year old Americana hen. She's the original of the fourr that we had. She hasn't laid eggs for about a year. In the last week she hasn't jumped into the coop when it gets dark. She just stayed outside so we set up a separate house for her. Even so we have to lift her up...

Last week we picked up 17 chicks at the hatchery. Six different breeds. I posted the brand-new chick pictures (Day 1) and an update here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicks-with-pics.1224365/ Now Here is Week 2 Update with pictures. One chick died, but the hatchery had put in...

I have three Americanas and they are about 6 weeks old. Two are almost fully feathered, and larger and one is not quite as filled in and a bit smaller than the others. None of them are showing pink or red combs. And it’s my understanding that Americanas do not have wattles. I’m worried because...
