    Is this an Easter Egger Silkie or what?!

    Oh my gosh, thank you for all the responses! I have learned so much! Based on the information I received, I'm thinking she is an Olive Egger/Maran mix. And I found out what a silky & EE actually are. lol! Obviously, I don't know a lot about chickens, but I have done (and continue to do) all my...

    Thank you! I'll have to look up faverolle. I've never even heard of that breed. I don't know what color her skin is, I'll have to look. And you have very cute chickens!

    Yours is a lot more fluffy than mine! And very pretty! Thank you for sharing. I think the general concensus is a maran/EE mix, so I'm going with that.

    Is this an Easter Egger Silkie or what?!

    My class incubated eggs at the end of last school year, and when they hatched I took several chicks home. (First time chicken lady) The farmer I got the eggs from told me one of my chicks was an Olive Egger (I guess from the Easter Egger family or something.) This pullet looks kind of like the...

    Any guesses?

    Mine hatched at the end of May, and from what they looked like, your last 2 are going to be your roosters. I'm new at this, too, and I just learned that Easter Eggers have green legs!

    Hawk making daily visits, no success yet...

    I hung several old CDs from a rope, then tied the ends of the rope to trees so the CDs hang down. I found the idea somewhere online. In theory, the hawk swoops down, but the flash of the discs surprises it & it flies away.

    Friendly RIR rooster in Choctaw, OK

    After we discovered Cinnamon was a rooster, I just hoped he wouldn't crow enough for anyone in the neighborhood to notice him. But he doesn't quite understand what I want from him, and since it's against our bylaws to have roosters, I'm probably going to need to find a new home for him. He is...

    Where to place food and water?

    Hmm... I might check into this one for the coop because I'm really worried about it getting wet in there. I can hang another one outside. Thanks!

    Where to place food and water?

    I guess the chickens are OK without water during the night? I sure would like to not have the water in the coop in case of leaks. Thank you, everyone, for the information.

    New to Chickens, new to this board...and....HELP!

    Hi Casey5! Your story made me laugh, you remind me so much of my husband. Seagulls especially hate him & he really does not like the beach because he knows he will get pooped on! I'm new to the site, too, and learning a lot. I have 9 chicks I incubated in my classroom, that are 6 days old now...
