Thank you as well for the websites as well! It is defiantly lice not mites, they have the egg clusters.

Thank you both... guess I will give it a try... does the seven dust take care of the eggs as well?

Hi I bought 2 9 month old chickens from a girl a few months ago and added them to my flock, well now all of my chickens have lice and I can not get rid of it, I have used damacious earth on them and made a dust bath area with damaciouse earth mixed in and I have also put garlic powder in their...

No I do not know where he got them from, he had a huge chicken farm and did his own breeding. The reason I bought them was because I wanted chocolate eggs which is what I told him when I bought them. I am really upset! They are extremely light brown eggs. So they wont darken at all then, She...

I did not buy her from a hatchery. I bought her from a local guy who breeds chickens.

My Black copper Maran hen has just started laying, I have gotten 2 eggs from her so far. My question is will her eggs get darker? Right now her eggs are lighter brown in color then my brown sexlink hens eggs. Is she only laying such pale colored eggs because she just started laying or did I just...

cute! lol

Great story!!! So Glad these girls now have a happy home and are spoiled, as every chicken should be!! :)

Nope most of them have the brown/copper feathers just like her. Her comb may redden as she grows. My black sex link doesn't have a red comb either.

She looks like a black sex link

I've read that dual purpose breeds are best around 4-5 months. Hopefully someone can confirm that since I have 2 EE roosters and if I can't sell them I plan to do the same thing and this will be my 1st experience with butchering.

Mine follow me around, but it took a year for them to do it. I'm the only one that feeds them and gives them treats and we have lost 5 girls to hawk/fox attacks last spring/summer. We have been present and chased a hawk off already. so I think when they see me its she brings safety and food lol...

Thank you both! I wasn't sure about the whole Ameraucana pure breed standards, but I did ask if they were easter egger chicks before I bought them (I bought 4) and she told me no they were true ameraucanas. But either way I'll be happy as long as she stays a she! LOL Fingers crossed that she...

I Bought a chick off craigslist the seller said they could not guarantee the sex of the chicks but that they should be pullets. This one is around 6 weeks old I'd say, looks like a pullets to me but has a lot of Roo behaviors that are confusing me I think her comb is a bit large for an...

I have been taking my chicks out in the grass on nice days, They love it! Mine are not on medicated feed. They are 4 weeks old

I have a 1 month old Ameraucana cockerel for sale. He is such a sweet guy, we handle him daily, sadly I am not aloud to have roosters where I live. Local pick up. I live by the Reading Airport in Pa.

Hi and Welcome!!! I would give the coop a good cleaning and get rid of the old hay before putting a new flock in it!! Good luck can't wait to see pictures!

I have a cat with free range chickens, she doesn't bother with them at all, even when they were only a few months old she never went after them and she has already brought us wild birds she caught

Yes its a single comb, that's why I was thinking roo. They weren't from a hatchery though. I found them on craigslist, the lady said her hens all layed either blue or pink eggs and she hatched the eggs from her hens. She said they were all pullets and i'm hoping they are because I can't have...

Really? Ok thanks!! I just always thought the females combs were really small and only the males had comes like this one... I guess I'll have to wait then lol... when would you say you could really tell in an EE?
