“I got 4 of this breed from MPC last July. One is a gorgeous and friendly rooster, the other 3 girls are healthy and as tame and easy to deal with as my buff orpingtons. They seem less prone to being overweight than the orps. They weathered a super cold winter in upstate NY just fine. Love the blue eggs! I will be sticking with this breed going forward, and with MPC. My chicks were in transit less than 24 hours and arrived in great shape.”
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Black Ameraucanas. It sounds like your flock turned out beautifully, and we love hearing that both your rooster and hens have such friendly, easygoing personalities. Comparing their temperament to Buff Orpingtons is high praise indeed! We truly appreciate your trust in us and are honored to be part of your flock journey. Thank you for choosing My Pet Chicken, and we look forward to helping you grow your Ameraucana flock for years to come.
“My Black Ameraucana was a boss from the moment I opened the box, loud and pushy, she became the flock commander in chief immediately. We often call her Tank, though he name is Myrtle, because she dominates the food distribution game in the aviary. She lays gorgeous blue eggs and is extremely vocal all day long. I won't lie, she can be a bully, but she respects me and enjoys a cuddle. She's four years old and still laying. I wish I could paste a photo of her.”
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Black Ameraucana. Myrtle sounds like quite the personality, and “Tank” is a fitting nickname for a hen who clearly knows how to run the show. We are especially glad to hear she is still laying those beautiful blue eggs at four years old. That kind of consistency is something many flock owners really appreciate.
Thank you again for sharing her story with us. We would love to see a photo of Myrtle and we will send you a private message on how to add one!
“Honeybee is one of two of the smallest in my flock as of now. I chose her breed because the adult hens look like ravens with their all black and iridescent feathers. She just likes hanging with her sisters and doing chicken things all day. She could take it or leave it when it comes to being held.”
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that your Black Ameraucana chicks are healthy and growing well. We’re truly sorry for the loss of the tiny chick that developed spraddle leg — it’s always difficult to lose one, even when it’s covered under our guarantee. We appreciate your understanding and are grateful you gave these chicks a loving home.
