    First egg(s)!!!

    We got our first egg today from one of our 4 month old girls. Very excited, however we found it outside the coop, under the nestbox on a pile of pinestraw.

    Easter Egger sexing help

    Hello, Can anyone help identify gender of one of our Easter Eggers? It is 8 weeks old and has always been one of the largest of our chicks, with very large legs. We thought it was a cockerel early on, but now we aren’t so sure? What do you guys think?

We have gone to just about all lengths to predator proof everything, to include 1/4” hardware cloth all around and even motion activated led lights around...

Been working mostly weekends to try and finish it and get the chicks moved into their new home. We have a pre-fabbed coop that we’re going to put our Faverolles in, as...

    Help! Is my EE a hen or roo?

    Hello, Starting our new flock and one of the Easter Eggers is much different from the others. Not only in appearance, but it isn’t interested in any human contact. It runs around and doesn’t like to be held. They are 6 weeks old. Thanks! Spike
