    I got my EEers from Mt Healthy in Ohio and while they're only 5 weeks old, their feather colors are VASTLY different for the 3 I have. You can order basically any number/variety of chicks, which is why I went with them because I wanted a variety of adult birds. I ordered 3 distinct breeds and...

    Please help me Gender these Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers!

    My chicks are so spicy, too. Very rambunctious and although mine are a tad younger, I thought they'd be a little calmer lol I was wrong lol they flap all over the place, love scratching and digging everything, tear apart paper towels, run all around. Just so much fun <3 Love them.
