So I ordered an ‘assorted egg color mix’ from hoovers. Thought it would be fun to post weekly picks and watch them grow and guess the ‘breed’
FYI I know they are all ‘hatchery breeds’ that are just fancy names for Easter egger mixes, but if anyone has some of these breeds grown out that looked...
Help me out here guys! She’s been isolated, still eating and drinking great… poop still too loose and dirty vent. So I decided to wash her up again and check her over. When I picked her up she felt like she had really lost more weight! Got her washed up and while I was doing that some water...
She’s got muffs🥰 Easter eggers and olive eggers are just sweet little mutts! A cross between any blue egger and any brown egger will make an Easter egger. A back cross of an Easter egger (that already lays green) with a brown laying breed makes an olive egger. (Which are also just ‘Easter...

Ok this is gonna be long.
I had a chicken, (Easter egger about 6months old) with a very messy butt, suspected vent gleet. Got all the stuff together to separate and treat her, checked out the rest of the flock, no one else looked like they had any issues except one other one (3 year old amber...
