    Whose Egg?

    A littel different take.....any idea who laid the big Olive egg in this batch? I have a mixed flock from McMurray hatched 10/15/16. The laying commenced 3/6/16. There have been 3 previous olive eggs all very small. This could be the same hen but we were thinking not. It was suddenly so much...

    What are some good reputable hatcheries?

    I have ordered from McMurray several times and had good luck. Very healthy chicks. Got lucky with my mixed assortment and have a lovely little flock ordered 10/13/15 that has just begun laying a rainbow of beautiful eggs!

    Tractor Supply didn't give me the right chicken..

    I agree. I received two leghorn pullets in my mixed assortment from McMurray Hatchery. Their combs stayed very light nearly up to laying. About 3 weeks ago (they were born Oct 13, 2015), the combs began to grow and get red. They started laying very soon after and I have had 2 white eggs nearly...

    Amerecaunas or Easter eggers?????

    I love my EEs! The hatchery where I bought them made it clear that they were not purebred. Three of mine have beards or muffs (I am not sure of the difference) and three do not (one of those met an untimely demise sadly). I do wish that they had mentioned the term Easter Egger so I wouldn't have...

    Australorps breed Thread

    It is a lot easier to just order them from a hatchery. Even if you want fewer than the minimum, I have never found it hard to find homes for the extra chicks. Especially in areas where you can't hit the Tractor Supply lottery (ie, get there before they sell out the shipment). To increase your...

    Amerecaunas or Easter eggers?????

    Sometimes they don't know (I mean they do not understand the distinction). Where did you get these?

    RIR? Production red? or Freedom Ranger?

    I got a mixed assortment from McMurray Hatchery Oct 15. I did end up with 3 RIR pullets and they did not have speckles like these chicks. I am not familiar with the other two breeds you mentioned but I am pretty sure you can rule out RIRs. It is probably going to be a while yet before you can...

    Please help Hen or Roo?

    I have white leghorns and easter eggers that look just like yours, all pullets (in fact they started laying today). I have no idea about the polish but I think all the rest are very likely pullets.
