This truly has become me since I started my flock 3 weeks ago. I am always out checking on them, giving them mealworms or zucchini and squash. And sometimes just to stand and watch their nuttiness.

I used to follow and contribute to this thread years ago. once I returned to BYC it took me forever to remember what it was called. Now I have found you once again. let the fun continue. I can't wait to see what y'all post next.

I just thought I noticed something, someone told me that Isa brown male chicks are all white and easily sexed, was just wondering if the Americauna had a similar trait with different colored shoulders.

I have 4 Americauna chicks. 1 chick has coloring on its shoulder as in the top pick, the other 3 have a silver shoulder as in the bottom photo. I'm thinking that the silver shouldered ones are males, they act like I would expect a male chick to act, challenging the other silver shoulders, and...

Where is the 1st place I find myself "Quotes of the Day", of course. I have thought of you all often in my absence. I am not even going to try to catch up on my...

My homemade Tortilla Soup; made from my 1st attempt at making Chicken Stock, which was successful, because soup is very Yummy.

Yeah, this past year I have become a big advocate of essential oils, due to the Lavender oils success at eliminating my migraine issues. I also use it combined with peppermint oil to help raise my alertness level to assist in the battle against narcolepsy. Lavender oil truly is a miracle oil, it...
