This one looks much like my Easter Egger when she was a young chick. As nuthatch said, Easter Eggers are mixed breeds and can look much like many others. A Buff Orpington seems a likely breed but is also used in breeding Easter Eggers. I needed help identifying my white one with the golden...
Also, it is the chicken license requirement for an inspection of the coop to meet specific standards for the healthy maintenance of the chickens. There are requirements to maintain a distance from neighbors property lines and residential dwellings as well as a minimum and maximum size for a...
Hi Redmike! No, I have not had the inspection as of yet. I did speak with the inspector and he told me to just give him a call when the coop is completed. The weather has not been cooperative with the times I am able to build this coop! I am definitely getting frustrated with the building...
I have to restrain myself at TSC, too! My local ordinances keep me in check. I am 100% sure that if I did not have such restrictions and had more space than my simple suburban dwelling has now, I would be increasing the size of the flock. 😂😂😂

As for...
I am just now experiencing “chicken math”!!! I have now learned the hard way, that chickens are addictive! I might have to start looking into a future move! 😂😂😂
Oh no! How would I ever be able to choose 1 to give up?!? 💔
I intend to be honest and hope and pray for the best possible outcome. I would be worried about just 1 of them being integrated into a new little flock somewhere else when they are all so attached to each other now! Not to mention that...
Thank you for that! I guessed correctly for the 1st two. The light colored one is also an Easter Egger? Wow! I am very happy to know that!
That means 2 Black Cooper Marian’s, 2 Olive Eggers, 2 Easter Eggers and a Barred Plymouth Rock! I hope they won’t make me get rid of one of them! I will be...
I have been wanting to have backyard chickens for over a year now. I did a lot of research and followed local laws to obtain my “Backyard Chicken” license. Once approved, I went back to the drawing board to decide which chickens I wanted among the 6 chicks I was permitted to now own. I watch my...
