    Easter Egger Roo, 1 year

    Completely free of charge. I just want him to have a good home. This weekend would be good if you're available. I work 5-2 Fri and Sat and 12-9 Sun, and I'm off Monday - but my husband will be home all weekend. If you want to come see him, I'll PM you my address. Or one of us could bring him to...

    Easter Egger Roo, 1 year

    Cincinnati. Looking to rehome my gorgeous Easter Egger cockerel. One year old. He's a good boy. Gets a little feisty sometimes, but easily dissuaded. Takes good care of his pullets. I just don't have the room or enough hens for him. His sister lays pale green eggs.

    Rooster Chat

    Hi everybody, I thought I'd share my experience with our EE roo, Bowie. He is a year old now and was a surprise. We were supposed to get 6 pullets... a few months later one of those pullets started crowing! I was googling "crowing hens", the denial was strong. Lol. Then he started trying to...

    Our handmade coop

    Nice! Last summer it definitely got hot inside the coop some days but it cools down considerably at night here so it wasn't an issue. During the day they're out in the very shaded pen. On those hot days we might find an egg in the pen instead of the coop, but that's fine with them and with us...

    Injured hen didn't make it

    We lost our 1 year old Easter Egger, Dolores, to an injury on her side that the other hens wouldn't stop pecking at. When we first noticed it, it was a bloody patch about the size of a half-dollar. Prior to this, we got the other hens aprons because they were going bald from the rooster mounting...

    Our handmade coop

    My husband build our coop last year. And let me just say, a carpenter he is not. Lol. But it turned out pretty good. We used 2x4s for the supports, fence planks for the sides, plywood for the flooring, and smoked plexiglass for the roof. We love the roof. It lets the sunlight in and keeps it...

    Ended Contest #3 Cutest Baby Fowl - 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong

    Our chicks' first excursion outdoors last May. Janis, Joni, Joan, Dolores, Björk, and Bowie. Bowie, the blonde one, was originally named Debbie until we realized he's a rooster.

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    That is good to know, thanks! He's beautiful and so far he's sweet enough that I thought he was just a bossy hen, so maybe we can keep him if he continues to behave.

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Thank you. We were afraid of that. Lol. What in particular gave it away? (Besides everything. I think I've been in denial.)

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    I've got 2 Easter egger about 16 weeks old now (plus 4 barred rocks, same age). One of the chickens has started crowing in the mornings. We suspect it's Debbie, our blonde EE because she is the bossiest. The farm we got them from said they were all pullets, but we're starting to question...
