    Colored Egg Breeders Thread

    Jumping in to show off a few of my pretty EE girls even tho they are not the most flattering pics. I’ll be incubating soon just to experiment and get the mechanics of it down.. unfortunately my EE roo passed during the winter but I do have a GLW roo. So, If I hatch blue eggs that have been...

    Anyone know what the problem could be?

    I’ve lost three chickens in the last two weeks and I’m struggling to find a definitive reason why especially for this last one- all three were in different coops so I’m not sure if the deaths are related or just bad luck on my end. Most recent was my silkie hen who I was super attached to. She...

    HELP! Respiratory illness? Which meds to give?

    Thanks for your reply, this gives me hope that mine will pull through too. I’ve heard great things about the LA200 so I figured it would be better for them than nothing at all. Since they all seem to be acting like their usual selves I’m hoping I’ve caught it early enough to wipe it out before I...

    HELP! Respiratory illness? Which meds to give?

    Thanks for your reply! I do still have his body but there’s unfortunately no way I can get him anywhere for necropsy as we are hours away from our state facility. I guess sending it could be an option but I will have to look into that further and get more info on how to do so. The LA-200 is the...

    HELP! Respiratory illness? Which meds to give?

    Can anyone help me figure out the best course of meds for my flock? I’m stumped. My beautiful EE rooster (1yo) suddenly passed last night- I noticed his comb was very dark purple so I brought him inside thinking he had possibly gotten frostbite (it has been in the teens/twenties a few nights...

    Beta Rooster Habits and Quality of Life

    I had similar issues and decided to separate the problem roo from the rest of the flock. It did not go well and actually made things worse! I put him in a large kennel, but still in the coop and visible to the rest of the flock and when I decided to let him rejoin everyone we nearly had a...

    Do you name your chickens?!

    I love your names! One of our roo’s was almost a Foghorn but it was easier to yell out Frank when he was in trouble instead lol! I agree naming them does make the chores (and sometimes reprimands 🤣) easier! My Elmer loves to jump up on my shoulder when I enter to feed- I’m sure my neighbors get...

    Do you name your chickens?!

    My suspicions were confirmed today when I caught her in the act- Hennifer Anniston (all white hen in the background) is laying the prettiest and brightest blue egg of all my Easter Eggers! I knew she was one of my favorites for a reason 😍

    Flock Integration Issues

    Not sure if this will help or not- but figured I would make the suggestion since you would like to avoid rehoming if possible. Have you tried adding them to the coop at night time? We had a flock of 10 that had been raised together since the brooder and I purchased two LO hens to add to the mix...
