    Easter egger questions

    Here’s our 3 EEs in April 2023 and then July 2023. They all lay greenish eggs (every once in a while one will be more blue).

    Mystery chicken gender and breed guess??

    I’m leaning towards cockerel as well

    Feed and water

    I don’t know how old your chickens are, but they shouldn’t need it overnight.

    What is considered old age for hens?

    I think some of it depends on breed as well, so there’s not one size fits all answer.

    I’m thinking I didn’t get what was listed…

    California Tan or Smokey pearl? (Only guessing those 2 bc we purchased 2 straight run in a bin with those options-basically a mix). We have 1 for sure male, suspected within 1st 24 hours. Started crowing at 2.5months. He looks mostly like a leghorn but has a few black feathers

    Roosters eating hen laying feed

    I feed an All Flock feed, I have hens, rooster, pullets, cockerel, drakes, and hen (duck) so it’s easier than trying to keep them out of each other’s feed.

    Easter Eggers, Pulllet or Roo

    I was thinking it looked like leakage and was leaning 1 being male. Time will tell.

    What is the gender of this chicken?

    That’s what I was thinking as well. I remember when my EEs were molting their tail feathers looked the same way.

    6 weeks old - Rooster or Hen

    Only 6 weeks old. All look male to me…

    Merging Two Flocks

    If they’re only separated by chicken wire and this have been see but not touch I would assume it would be fairly easy to integrate. Also realize they will go through establishing a new pecking order amongst themselves.

    Permanent separation

    Separate houses/enclosures. Our #s are way off. So we have 2 houses. 1 with male/female pair and the other with 2 males. It works well for the most part but it isn’t perfect.

    Does an A-frame coop/run need a real floor or can it be open air?

    Chicken wire on the bottom will eventually rust and busy especially with moving. Do you need a floor? Not necessarily. But you’ll want some sort of predator apron-wire mesh that can lay flat around the outside to prevent digging underneath.

    Is it a he or a she?

    This. If it’s a barred rock it looks female.

    2 Barred Rocks… Hen or Roo?

    Agree with above ETA: Cockerels have double barring so that it why the lighter one is male

    Is it safe to have one hen with one rooster?

    I had 1 hen and 1 roo together because my roos had to be separate (and to is too was a klutz/terrible at mating) and the hen had been injured and wasn’t easily welcomed back. They did fine. And everyone could see one another.
