I got a cockerel ameraucana from meyers (was supposed to be a female sexed day old), so happens (this was a year ago). They do refund the purchase price though.
Hi there! This was a sexed pullet from Meyer Hatchery, hatch date January 23, so about 10 weeks old. What do you think? Cockerel or pullet? (And I apologize, not amazing pictures I know.)
And…minutes after I posted this I put her back in the crate (she had been on my lap) and she passed. Poor girl. I am leaving this up per group preferences, and for future learning appreciate any thoughts.
I love having chickens…I had four for years and now maintain a flock of 35-45, but man...
Hi all. I appreciate this group and how helpful everyone is. I love my flock, and without this community I would be at a loss when one of my birds is sick.
I have a two year old easter egger named Madonna. She lays normally, but flock is just starting to come back online after fall molt and...
Hi there! I have chicks that are showing some signs of cocci and so I am planning to treat them. (Two weeks old, one is a little hunched up, drowsy, lethargic, yellow/mucusy poop.). That said, I pulled my corid and it expired January 2022. My local feed supply is out and so I am looking to...

Following. We are considering trying, too. Will post if we do…we have a family of four harris’s hawks stalking out birds and not having any success getting rid of them.
Hi all! I have 19 new pullets, hatched late January to midFebruary. It has been a super busy Spring, with some work travel, and then one day I looked outside and thought, “omg, how did you two get so big?!” and then a few days ago…”how did I miss it…y’all are dudes” 😂😂😂. So tell me, pullets or...
I have three blue ameraucanas, all
Theoretically sexed pullets, but one of the three has gotten super gangley and is much bigger than the other two. Pullet or rooster? S/he is actually extremely timid, but perhaps that is the breed or just this particular bird…my americaunas kid of keep to...
Hi! I have a mature flock of 16 hens, no roosters. I also have a segregated flock of 19 pullets, age ~10-8 weeks. The pullets are segregated in a separate Coop and run until they are big enough to free range with the bigger girls. They can all see each other, but not touch. Again, no roosters...
