    Easter Egger

    I got this chicken this year as a chick, she was supposed to be an Easter egger. She just started laying a brown regular colored egg last week. Does anyone know what she is or why her eggs aren’t green or blue?

    Blue laced red Wyandotte?

    I was told these 2 brown chicks were blue laced red wyandottes when I bought them as babies. They both looked similar then, now one looks like my Easter egger and the other is a Wyandotte , but not sure what kind. Also if anyone has any ideas about the sex of the black polish chick I’d like help...

    Roo or hen?

    Our cuckoo Maran hatched these 4 babies in early/ mid June. Rooster is a mix, but two were welsummer eggs, one buff Orpington and one cuckoo Maran (we think). Question is, do we have all hens or some roos and where did the little bright yellow legs come from in our dark one? None of our other...

    Cuckoo Maran Chick pecking food from other chicks

    Hello Everyone, I recently decided to add 6 new chicks to my flock. I am currently brooding them inside, away from my older girls. I have 2 Autralorps, 1 blue sapphire, 1 black sex-link and 2 cuckoo marans. The problem I'm having is that the smaller Cuckoo Maran is constantly trying to peck the...

    What gender are my Silver-laced Wyandottes

    Both of mine were supposed to be hens, but I suspected that, at least the bigger one, wasn't because of his behavior.

    What gender are my Silver-laced Wyandottes

    Oh bummer. I was afraid of this. I might not be able to keep roosters in my neighborhood and I really wanted a SLW pullet.

    What gender are my Silver-laced Wyandottes

    I got these two back in June. I believe they are 14-15 weeks old and I'v tried to find out what gender they are, but all the information I've looked has been confusing. What do you all think? Blue band is Harley and no band is Henrietta/Henrys

    How do I get my Ladies to stop laying on their roost?

    So as long as they are only dropping soft, rubbery eggs I shouldn’t worry? I am feeding them layer feed and egg shells and oyster shells are out as an option. The good layer loves them.

    How do I get my Ladies to stop laying on their roost?

    The nest boxes are similar in height, but there are three levels of boxes, bottom, middle and top.

    How do I get my Ladies to stop laying on their roost?

    I do have fake eggs in their nesting boxes, but they do free range. I wasn't considering that a factor (except with the good layer) because the nest boxes are near the roosts and they are laying in the coop on the roosts. I'll try to keep them in for a few days and see if that doesn't do the trick.

    How do I get my Ladies to stop laying on their roost?

    Hey Everyone, One of my girls started laying three weeks ago and is great about depositing her egg under the same tree everyday. Recently, I think, two others have begun "laying". A few mornings this week I have found rubbery, broken eggs at the bottom of their overnight roost. I have no idea...

    Eating Feathers

    So glad to here this! I watched one of my Opringtons eat a Barred Rock feather yesterday and I wasn't sure if I should be worried about this behavior or not.

    My hen's first egg was a double yolk too! Surely this means good luck :)

    Introduction

    Hello Everyone, I am relatively new to raising chickens. We got our first 8 chicks in April of 2020. They are now 10 weeks. Unfortunately we lost two to some kind of hawk or owl two weeks ago when they were free ranging. The other six are now in a covered chicken run next to their coop. We have...
