I just picked up my new boy a few days ago. I'm new to chickens, mostly I've done ducks in the past, so trying to place this guy to a breed has been a challenge; didn't know there were so many chicken breeds. I thought he might have been a rock since he's black and white speckled but when I...

Hi! I've been keeping chickens for a little over 3 years, after wanting them for decades! I currently have 11 - (1 white Leghorn, 2 Wellsummers, 4 Easter Eggers, 2 Dominiques, and 2 Buff Orpingtons). The Easter Eggers have been a terrible disappointment on laying frequency - it's seems like they...
