    Egg-eating pullet

    Thank you for your reply. She’s the first in our flock to lay and we have wooden eggs in there already.

    Egg-eating pullet

    Our Olive Egger laid her first egg today... she actually laid two! While watching her in the coop cam, she looked so calm and was still tossing bedding on her back. Within 5 minutes, she reached back and pecked one of the eggs! I rushed into her run with treats and called her as soon as I saw...

    12 week old Ameraucana, Pullet or Cockerel?

    5 weeks old- males or females?

    Hi, this is my first time raising chickens and would like advice on whether our four 5-week olds may be female or male. We have a Cuckoo Marans, an Olive Egger (Copper Marans x Amerucana), an Amerucana, and a Buff Orpington. We have also been weighing them every few days and although they all...
