I received my Cackle Hatchery chicks today! All are doing well! 8 Lavender Ameracaunas & 6 Biefenhelder pullets.
I ordered 10 Jungle Fowl, but there was a short hatch and now they are all sold-out.
But I am really happy to finally have my own chickens. The 30 chickens we we already have are...
I brought home this bunch a week ago; they’re now 3 weeks old. Sold as true Ameraucanas but this is my first time with anything other than silkies, so!
Any guesses? Cockerel or pullet?
#1 Splash
#2 Wheaten (?)
#3 Black
#4 Lavender? Blue?
We have 5 roos to re-home! One is a pure Lavender Orpington. He is about 1.5 years old.
The other 4 are his offspring and crossed with Ameraucana (different hens). Two of the 4 have the fluffy cheeks and 2 do not.
Hello all!
I have a trio of Lavender Ameracuanas, born 5/13. I’m usually solid on sexing at this age, but I’m having difficultly with these Ameracaunas.
I’m confident on Lavender pullet #3, but I need some help now with Lavender #1 and #2. Lavender #1 absolutely acts male, #2 does not...
Hi all, I have three 4 week old chicks that I’m beginning to ponder the sex of. They are all half lavender ameraucana. First one is crossed with a barred breed of some sort, the second is a buff Orpington mix, and the last is a silkie mix.
I know it may be too early to tell. Help greatly...
So I farmed back in the day and cockrels were not a problem but being In City they are, but I am in Boise, ID area and I need some help asap to have someone take these Cockerels that are told they are males, and I grew them from eggs to 16 weeks and they are currently 16 going on 17 weeks but...
I feel like I can almost feel okay saying she’s a she…but I’ve never had an Ameraucana or a pea comb breed so I just need confirmation I’m mostly safe thinking she’s a she! I got burned by my first birds and all my favorites were eventual boys so I’m super paranoid haha. I have two, they look...
Okay, it’s week 7! I am hoping my assessments are correct and most of these are pullets! These are all mixed birds except for the Ameraucanas and the Mauve Orpington. They are Cochin mixes (mom was the Cochin) crossed with 3-4 fathers that were Marans, Isbars or Langshans. Any guesses on...
I have what I suspect is an upcoming ayam cemani rooster... I have zero experience in breeding and wasn’t sure if there was a way for me to breed lavender fibro Easter eggers? If anyone has advice or tips, please let me know.
I was thinking breeding him with some lavender ameraucanas but kind...
10 month old rooster. Hand raised with our spring chicks. This is pure breed.
He is very docile. But we already have another rooster and our flock is small.
He will let you hold him and even lay him on his back.
We are in Franklin TN but are willing to travel some to help find him his new home...
I bought 2 lavender Ameraucana chicks and I think I got one male and one female. Thats based on comb, body size, and tail feathers. But I'm doubting myself as we are going on about 3 months and the rooster still hasn't crowed. Is that normal for this breed? What are your thoughts?
This has been a long 3 weeks, chick hatching is way more suspenseful than I would’ve ever thought! Two chicks so far and hopefully more to come! I’m feeling so blessed, because I wasn’t sure if any would hatch. 3 more eggs in the bator...
Hi everyone! One of my hens has gone broody. She was a rescue so I have no idea how old she is (young, if I had to guess), what breed she is, or if she has done this before. I currently have two coops in my backyard. The smaller coop is the one that this particular hen is in along with another...
Hello!
I have 2 Lavender Araucana chicks. They are 3 weeks at the moment and I was wondering if it was possible to tell which is which (hopefully not two roosters). One has a more pronounced comb and its redder than the other's.
P.S. I added a photo from the internet of how the grown-ups should...
