OH MY HEAVENS ALEX!! I hate to hear that! What a GORGEOUS little EE she was! I hate to make it any worse by saying that but.....WOW! She has stunning markings and colors on her. I don't know that I have seen such vibrant colors in all the EE I have sorted through on this forum. I would totally...
WOW! Ling is so handsome! Love all the colors on him and his fluffy beard! I love a beard on a chicken :)
Thank you for pointing that out. I will take a better look today when I let them out to free range in our yard. I hope to have many more EE in the future. We are looking to move very soon...
Oh wow you have nine! Did you hatch them out on your own? And are they are EE? To be honest with you, that is where I have trouble. I am still trying to learn where the saddle feathers and hackle feathers are. Her neck feathers seem to be somewhat pointy. As far as the saddle, I am assuming...
Oh yes, Ana is staying with us as long as she doesn't belt out a crow! She has definitely thrown me for a loop the older she is getting. She only fought like that the one time and then hasn't done it since. From what I have read on the forum, most cockerels are more aggressive and don't back...
Hi everyone! We are now at 11-12 weeks with our Ana. I'm a little worried. I witnessed her "fighting" with one of our Buffs yesterday like a cockrel. Neck puffed out, throwing her feet forward, all the signs of a cockrel. I have read many posts about how to sex by the color. Her pea comb has "3...
Oh boy.....thats what I was afraid of. We may be buying our own home soon, so with any luck he can stay. I guess "Elsa" will be "Olaf" now! I'm sure our daughters won't mind one bit! Thanks for your reply!
Thanks so much! Can I just say how lucky are you are!? I would love to buy a house and it come with chickens! There are plenty of wonderful people on here that can tell you what they are. I'm sure with time, we will both gain more knowledge to the different breeds. Congrats on your cute little...
We are crossing fingers and toes that they are both girls. Guess it's just a chance you take. Elsa has the sweetest disposition. Ana is a sweet girl as well. Very chatty compared to my Buff Orpingtons. I adore all of them! :)
Thank you so much! I was pleasantly surprised to get this news! It was an "Oops" by our local feed store, but you won't hear me complaining. I just hope they were right when they said that they were all pullets. We can't have roosters. The silver ones comb/ear lobes seem to be more red that the...
I bet I will be too! I was told from our feed store that these were pullets. Is there any way to tell due to the color or combs if they are pullets for sure? I have noticed that the silver and black on has more prominent red comb, ear lobes, etc. Don't see any wattles dropping yet. They are...
WOW!!! How lucky are we!? Thanks for your input! That was one of our guesses but just wasn't sure. If you don't mind me asking, what is it about them that makes you come to the conclusion of Easter Eggers?
We picked up these 2 chicks at a local feed store. They were ordered from a hatchery in Texas. We were told that they ordered some silver laced and golden laced wyandottes. So, that's what we thought we got. Meet "Ana" (the goldish one) and "Elsa) (the silverish, brownish, blackish one). We are...
