My New Easter Egger Chicks

Date sort Score sort
Thank you all for sharing your chick stories. I supposedly have four pullets, but today someone told me that Chocolate was a rooster. We had already noticed that he/she was bigger than the others, but then I checked his/her feathers. I've heard that a female's wing feathers are even as a chick while a male's feathers are uneven. Does anyone have any more tips on sexing chicks? Also, if any of you have chick questions, I will try to answer them.

Gatershark75 mentioned Cinnamon Queens. I think they are like Golden Comets. If they are, you have some great layers. I have eleven Golden Comets, one of which is a rooster. The hens lay beautiful brown eggs, and some of them are double yokers. I love Golden Comets.

even better layers they average 280 to 320 eggs per chicken per year with a laying life of 4 or more years
 
We have one EE bantam from Privett. She lays pretty green eggs. They always make me smile! She only takes off about once every 5 days. That being said, she stopped laying from October to mid-February. Not.one.single.egg. She was always the first to bed at night, I think she just wasn't getting enough light. We probably could have supplemented light to keep her going but it was fine.

We enjoyed the pretty eggs so much we have a few more, standard size this time! The cockerels were actually packing peanuts from Ideal and the pullets are from Cackle. There's more, but I don't have pictures of everyone.









The green ones are from our bantam, she's the only EE old enough to lay right now. (I only wash them right before we use them)

I used to have an EE hen. She was one of my favorites. I'm hoping to pick up two EE chicks tomorrow if the feed store has them in. I've got a black sex-link and a Delaware in the brooder right now, waiting for their EE little sisters to join them.
