    Broody other than silkie

    Cochins! Oh and the two Olive Eggers I got from Meyer Hatchery last year have been broody about eight times each and they're only a year a half old. They're Ameraucana/Marans. Neither my pure bred Ameraucana nor my Black and Blue Copper Marans have yet to be broody so I'm not sure what it is...

    New Chicken Owner- Sneezing, Watery Eyes and congestion that rattles

    Have you added any new birds to your flock? If you are uncomfortable administering meds intramuscularly, adding antibiotics to their drinking water is the easiest way to go. Honestly I save the injections for worse case scenarios anyway because it stresses them out so much. Get a small bag of an...

    **Livin' on the Edge assortment from My Pet Chicken**

    I just ordered a dozen hatching eggs from their newer 'Livin' on the Edge' assortment. I was just curious if anyone else has purchased hatching eggs from this assortment and if so, what did you end up getting?

    Easter Eggers. (Are the eggs as good?)

    Barred rocks can be very friendly, those two I referenced are just a bit flightly because they were hen raised so I didn't get much interaction with them as chicks. It's just a miracle the EE turned out as friendly as she did. You can imagine my surprise and elation when she flew up on my...

    Easter Eggers. (Are the eggs as good?)

    EE's are awesome! I have roughly a dozen EE's in a flock of fifty and I love them. Among them is a six month old blue and tan EE pullet that was raised by a hen from day one (I think I held her maybe once as a chick) and she enjoy's hopping up on my shoulder when she gets the chance. Meanwhile...

    What do you consider a "Friendly" chicken

    All of my full grown hens are the same way, despite me raising them from day old chicks. They don't run away from me if I get close to them, but they want nothing to do with being picked up. I considered that to be friendly until I got my current batch of chicks. There are about six of them that...

    What's going on with her feathers?

    I picked up three EE chicks from a farm supply store about six weeks ago. One seems to be developing a crest, or maybe has frizzling just on her head? All the feathers on her head are swooping forward. I've never known an EE to have a crest, or for a chicken to have frizzling on just her head...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Hi all, I recently hatched out some second generation OE chicks. The moms were both first generation OE hens (half Ameracauna, half Marans) and the dad is a Black Copper Marans. All the chicks look identical to BCM chicks, they even have a standard comb - does this mean they won't produce olive...

    Dry egg membranes?

    They're hatching, they're hatching!!

    This is my first time incubating eggs and they're hatching! I noticed the first pip last night (day 19). This morning I woke up and went to check on the eggs right away and found THIS. There are several other pips and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of more babies. I'm trying not to hover...

    Easter Egger club!

    I love Easter Eggers! I have more EE's than any other breed. They are friendly, inquisitive, I love that you never know what color they'll end up being as an adult, and they lay beautiful eggs. What more can you want? Sorry for the picture of my ugly mug, but this just goes to show how...

    Meyers olive eggers?

    Some have crests, some don't. The two I ordered from Meyer did not as they were EE/Marans crosses, but I have a friend that also has one from Meyer that is Legbar/Marans cross and does have a crest. My profile picture is my OE Nutmeg. She's all black, has been a wonderful mother hen and lays a...
