Ok I heard that Easter and Olive eggers start laying around 7 months. But at about 20 weeks this is what I'm getting. And they all started the same week. I'm guessing the green eggs are from the Olive egger and Easter egger. I'm also surprised at how close the Easter egger colors are like the...
Ok I have two questions. First are speckled eggs normal? If so do the chickens always lay speckled or is it occasional? Next question. I'm surprised at how close my Olive egger and Easter egger egg colors are? I can definetly tell a difference but I was just surprised. Anyone else experience this?

Hi I can't have roosters where I live and one of my 17 -6 week d chicks is definetly a rooster. Is there any reasons to keep him around for a few months before getting rid of him? I guess I'm wondering if roosters help establish the pecking order among the ladies or help to maintain some kind...
Sooo my sexed chick is lookin a little fishy...can't have Roos where I live. I have 17 chicks all the same age and this little one is the only one with a red comb and wattle...should I find a home for him now? Is there any doubt that this is a roo?
