I have a few odd questions but I don’t know who else to ask so here it is. I have 2 EE in my flock, one Rooster, one hen. I hatched them from local fertilized eggs. He is my only rooster. I do not know if they were hatched from the same hen but they definitely have the same dad. I was told they...
We got our first mini egg yesterday. We were not 100% sure who laid it but I’m 90% sure it’s a buff orp. Then today we got another tiny egg and this time we know it was our Buttercup BO who was chattering all morning at my kitchen door, in hindsight I see she wanted to let me know her plans and...
This is so fun, your eggs are so pretty. My 3 BO are all girls and one sprouted a super comb a week ago, mine are only 18 weeks but they are fun. We have one hatched EE cockerel and the rest are female.
a friend of mine moved a couple weeks ago, she asked me to take her 5 chickens, all laying...
I have no real knowledge on your question of why one chicken would have pale eggs. However I thought it may be interesting to share what I know and speculate…
I went to Uganda, Africa many years ago and at breakfast the scrambled eggs were very pale and sweeter than ”normal” to me. At the...
So only 3 of my girls were sexed cackle BO. And they all seem like girls. Of my hatched 3 were girls that were color sexed at birth. And 4 were a mystery. It seems as though we have one definite EE roo and one EE pullet and one I’m still watching but hoping is a pullet. And the single lab. Orp...
I bought sexed pullets from my local feed store who gets their chicks from Cakle. They are 8 weeks old and hard to tell apart in general. One is quite a bit friendlier than all the rest and the first to greet me every time but that’s why we got them so it’s expected. None have red “combs” but...
I hatched Easter Egger eggs 8 weeks ago. 3 eggs I got from a local farm.
I am sure the “yellow” one is a rooster but I included pics anyway. The black one I’m unsure about. And the rust one is supposed to be hen. I just wanted your educated guesses. I made other threads for my other breeds...
Pretty sure this one is having roo qualities. May they will be a good roo, always first out, foragers on their own, steals all the bugs, pecks every single other chick at first wake and has always had the sweetest songs. Also my daughters fav chicken because of requesting to be pet. But I think...
