This is an Easter egger I got from a friend. I finally picked it out as the fighting culprit in the flock. It keeps chasing and jumping on the other chicks and beating them up. I know it’s a show of dominance but the other chicks are super stressed and constantly screaming. I took it out and...
My husband planned and constructed our run. We have a second coop to attach and a big house coop to build but for the most part it’s done! It’s just basic. Nothing fancy. The chickens love it.

Hello! So I know there’s not much known about this breed so I’m going to document mine. ☺️ I got 4 pullets today from Atwoods. Super excited! So far they seems to be very calm, docile, and curious. They seems to be alright with being handled.
