    Giant eggs every time?

    How normal is it for a chicken to lay ultra-jumbo eggs almost every time? One of my Easter eggers lays ultra-jumbo eggs more than 50% of the time (2.75 ounces). She's about 6 months old and still getting a hang of the egg laying thing. They're always double yolked. I've seen other people post...

    DIY electrolytes?

    One of my chickens seems to be have watery poops. It's been hot and they eat a lot of grass, so I'm not too concerned yet (no sign of blood or worms), but I want to give them some electrolytes. When they were chicks I used Sav-A-Chick from the feed store. Has anyone used DIY electrolytes? Do...

    Free EE Roo in central OH

    We're not allowed to have roosters, so I need to rehome "Priscilla" AKA Prince. He'd make a good rooster for someone's flock. (I'm looking for a home for him, not a dinner pot ;) Prince is an Easter Egger who came from a regional Ohio haterchery. He's a friendly bird, not aggressive at all...

    Suddenly aggressive Easter Egger

    I got 6 one-day-old Easter Egger chicks 12 weeks ago. Well, it looks like 2 are probably boys. We started looking into rehoming them (not allowed to have roosters where we live) but in the past week or so, one of them ("Bernice" AKA Bernard) has suddenly become extremely aggressive towards one...

    2 Free Roos, Easter Egger, Ohio (Cbus)

    Wellp, it turns out that 2 of my easter eggers are boys and we aren't allowed to keep them (we live within city limits). So they're looking for a new home. Let me know if you're interested! They are both beautiful birds and, so far, not showing any aggression. "Priscilla" is particularly pretty...

    Is this normal?

    I have 6 Easter Egger hens that are about 7 weeks old. I converted half of a large old tool shed into a coop, and they have access to a large grassy run during the day. I have two questions: 1: My chickens don't seem to eat a lot of their feed. They seem to forage quite a bit but... should I be...

    Cold snap - are my 5.5 week old chickies safe?

    Hey there, not sure if this is the right category but given that the news today says we're going to get a cold snap tomorrow with snow and below-freezing temperatures, I'm wondering if my 5-and-a-half week old Easter Eggers will be OK in their coop. They just moved in there a few days ago. They...

    One chick with stubborn poopy butt

    I brought home 6 ~day-old Easter Egger chicks from the farm store 4 days ago (so they're about 5 days old now) and they all seem to be doing pretty good. But one has chronic poopy butt - just the one, always the same one, Brenda - and I'm not sure what to do about it. They're in a big bin with...

    Chicks toasting themselves at 100F??

    I brought home 6 Easter Egger chicks from the farm store today. They had picked them up at the post office just an hour before I picked them up from the store. They seem to be doing well, eating, drinking (both Sav-A-Chick and regular water), sleeping, pooping, but they are spending a lot of...
