americana

Don't call her a mutt

Last night my girls were attacked by the biggest raccoon I have ever seen in my life. My Americana (age 4) (not sure of her weight...) was badly injured all down the back of her neck before I was able to scare the BEAST away. I tried to grab her last night but I was unable to. In order to not...

hi there fellow chicken lovers! i have rescued a very sweet americana hen. sadly i can not keep her because i don’t have enough coop space. her original owner never let her out of the coop, so she likes to stick out in the coop. she is friendly, and pretty quiet. she is around 10 months i would...

One of my Americana chickens has stopped laying. It’s in the early winter months now and she is about a year old. Almost all the other chickens are molting including her and at first I thought it was just that she didn’t have the energy to molt and lay simultaneously. But it’s been several...

What do you folks think? He/she is very silly and the older hens seem to ignore him/her. It’s always running around flapping.

These ladies were sold to me as splash bearded Ameraucanas. I knew when I first saw them that the woman was bamboozling me (I know the difference between an Americana and Ameraucana), but I took them anyways, because the supposed parents were cool looking. Jokes on me. What do y'all think they...

After havin' a bad experience with a previous rooster, a friend gave me this fella. He's Rhodebar/Americana mix and awesome! I've had him over a year now and love him. He loves his girls and is not the least bit aggressive toward people.
