I have a chicken (easter egger) that is just over 2 years old. For a while she's had no fuzzy feathers on her bottom. I'm assuming one of the other chickens is plucking them, as I had 1 other chicken that was being aggressive to the other birds, which I have isolated for the past several...
Thinking of adding one or two Guinea Fowl to my flock just to give that variety to my birds. Just looking things up, doing some research. Any pointers, or suggestions, on where to start?
I don't know anything about the eggs, are the edible like chicken eggs (or worth the effort)?
How loud...
Hello. Been awhile since I've posted. I recently moved from Leesburg to Berryville, which has given me more space. I've already been able to setup a new coop and penn area for my 5 easter eggers to get us through the winter (almost 2 years old). Once spring rolls around, I intend to work on...
Hello. I have five 11 month old EE's, and was looking at adding a couple more. In the process of deciding to go with 2 new chicks, I came across a local selling 18 month old pasture hens (Red Sex Link, I believe). The birds are reported as being friendly, so I think they might be okay, but I...
3 of my 5 girls are laying eggs, and all 3 lay the same color (greenish). When I originally decided on getting the EE's, part of my decision was based on what I thought would be a random coloring of the eggs: green, blue, pink
Now, after making it this far, and learning a little bit more...
This little girl came with my purchase of 6 Easter Eggers. Of the 6, one turned out to be a rooster, which is a problem I have to deal with. Of the remaining 5 girls, this one is the smallest of the bunch, and stands out, significantly. Enough so, that I'm not convinced she is an Easter...
My chicks were born 4/22, so they aren't yet 4 months old. I picked up 6 of them, all of them Easter Eggers, and at this point, I'm questioning whether all of them are actually females. One, in particular, has me concerned. The problem I have is my local ordinance....no roosters!
I don't...
So one of my chicks, from the time I brought her home, had 'bent' toes. She has never appeared to be in any physical pain, and it doesn't look like it impairs her ability to do anything. She, like the rest of the flock of 6, is just over 8 weeks old.
Sometimes when she's standing, they look...
Hello....I'm just getting into this, and this seems like a decent resource that keeps popping up in my search results. I'll be working on a chicken coop this weekend, but have yet to figure out what type of chickens I'll be housing. Only going to have a small number of them, and for eggs only...
