    When do Easter Eggers start laying?

    Yea it was awesome. I didn't get any yesterday though. But I know they are gonna start being more frequent. I put my girls outside very late winter when they were 4 weeks old. I had heat at night but it's an old greenhouse so it gets warm during the day anyway. This pic is when it was still...

    When do Easter Eggers start laying?

    One of my girls laid their first egg! It is kinda small but from what everyone says they should get bigger. But they are 17 weeks hopefully the other girls start following suit.

    Why is my hen crowing?

    Well I actually just found out that my hen is crowing! My Rooster is. I didn't know I had a rooster! My Alice just became an Alex. To all newbies. Don't just assume you have pullets! Lol.

    Is my chicken a rooster?

    Awesome advice! Thanks I'm still learning these are my first chicks. They are about 13 weeks.. So if I collect the eggs right away without them reaching incubation temps they are safe to eat and not going to fertilize? Sorry just double checking.

    Is my chicken a rooster?

    Lol thanks for the help. What should I do I don't want to crack into any eggs with chicks in them. And I feel bad separating them. And I raised them since day one I would feel rotten getting rid of "him"

    Open mouth??

    I have Easter eggers and they run all over the place and sometimes they have their mouths open and sometimes shut. They are perfectly happy though. I'm in NJ and it's like 85 degrees here I think they are just panting to cool down. They should be fine unless you can tell some real obvious...
