This (hopefully) pullet is from mypetchicken and they do not disclose their olive egger breeds. any ideas on this one? She has a little mohawk and big feet but is smaller than another chick we got at the same time and no other signs of not being a pullet. She was a black and white chick and now...
Approximately 13-14 weeks old, just started crowing, sweet as pie (I was just holding the lighter one in my arms before I took this picture). Niederrheiner is a rare breed and is supposed to be dual purpose - we were told we got sexed chicks and expected pullets but obviously got cockerels. Hate...
We let the chicks out to free range today for the first time. It went well! They mostly stayed separate from our 5 original chickens who are about 10 months old.

One last mystery chick. Any ideas on this one's breed? (posted this question deep in someone else's thread earlier, too)
I know we might have an Easter Egger on our hands but here's the slip sheet for that day's chick purchase (so you can see the breeds for sale that day). What has me puzzled...
Hi everyone! We got our first chickens last September. From those chicks we have 5 hens: 3 Easter Eggers and 2 bantam porcelain Belgian D'Uccles. We've also adopted and then rehomed 2 silkies when one turned out to be a roo.
(They started free ranging a little bit recently with our cicada...
Hello, I have two niederrheiner chicks about 5 weeks old. Are they both cockerels?
Waiting for their brooder to be cleaned out
