I was talking to a friend about what he did. He said he had tried the mustard and it didn’t work. So he added a large portion of vinegar. That was magic for him. The vinegar is strong and it irritates their eyes and nose and so it discouraged them from pecking at the eggs. He was shocked at how...

Learning lots all the time. I am still new to the chickens as I have only had them since April. She is in a coop with 52 other chickens. She was in a kennel for a while in the coop so they could interact without direct contact. I took her out today and she was really apprehensive and very...

Thanks for all the help. The comb was damaged. So is she just an ornamental bird? How well do they get along with other chickens and kids? She was very gentle with me and was well behaved when I got her.

Today I got a call from a friend asking me if I wanted a chicken. Her neighbor had a chicken that was wondering into her yard every day and today ended up in her garage. She was wondering if I would give it a home. I was trying to figure out what what breed the chicken is, so let's put our...

I talked to my friend today and she said it wasn't a sex link, she did know that much for sure. She said it was a fairly new cross mixture and she said she was pretty sure the name started with an S. I am lost at what it could be. She got it from a local ranging store. I went and looked at the...

Thank you - I am learning lots tonight.

I am trying to identify this chicken. It was bought from a local store and all she remembers is that it is a cross. I have been told it could be a Production Red and also an ISA Browns cross. What are your thoughts? She is about 8 weeks old.

Quote: We got these from a hatchery that said they sale Araucanas. This is their description. Aracaunas (Americaunas) Araucanas, or the Easter Egg Chicken as they are commonly referred to, lay eggs in many shades of blue, green and pink. With the array of color these birds bring, in their...

Thank you RavynFallen!!!

My friend has 4 chickens that we are trying to figure out the breed of them. Somebody suggested that they are an ISA Browns. Here are a few pictures of them: Thoughts?

I am getting really confused with the term 'easter egger'. Is this a general term or actual breed?

Thanks!

So I have another post trying to identify another chicken. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1120865/we-are-stumped-who-can-help Somebody on there said these were "ISA Browns crosses, which means they would be easter eggers. They have a pea comb, but no muffs or beard which means they must be...

At what age do you think I will be able to tell if it truly is an EE and it's gender?

So help me understand the difference between an EE and an AM. The description from the website says "Araucanas, or the Easter Egg Chicken as they are commonly referred to.." and the title of the chicken says "Araucana - (Ameraucanas)". Is there a difference between an Araucana and an...

We just introduced a bunch of babes (around 4 weeks old) to a group of older chickens. The transition was amazing. As a newbie to chickens, I was excited that I was able to come up with a way to make the transition easier. You can find the thread here...

I have really been questioning this one. We were hoping for an Ameraucana, but I haven't seen any muffs yet. This one isn't showing the laced look either and so that is why I am baffled at what it is.

A friend picked these chicks up at a local store about 8 weeks ago. She said the name was a weird name and she was thinking it was a type of cross bred chicken. She bought them as layers, but we would really like to know what breed they are. I can get more pictures if requested.

I received a shipment of several exotic birds. I had them send an assortment of their exotics. I have identified many of them but a few have me stumped. The possible birds in the selection are Araucana (Ameraucana), Silver Laced Wyandotte, Light Brahma, Blue lace Red Wyandotte, White Crested...

This is what we built to water the chickens. It has been so nice and the chickens do so well with it. We fill the bucket once a day and they are happy the rest of the time. We do have a water bottle with a ball off to the side so they can get used to it because we are hoping to use this at...
