Just wanted to share that two of my Prairie Bluebell Eggers "Dottie" and "Sparkles" have started laying! Sparkles laid first egg last Thursday at 5 months and 1 week old! Dottie laid hers the next day. We live in upstate NY with cold winters so were were not sure when eggs would come. We are so...
Bought this chicken a few months ago. It's around 6mths now. I know it came from a blue egg and it's part Ameraucana.. I've been trying to figure out the mix as I like the flat comb and the colors. It's a gd size so I'm thinking it might be mixed with brahma.
So my old English bantam started laying. She’s the only bantam other than roosters and she is laying blue eggs.. I’ve looked it up and I can’t find anything on it. What could be the cause of this?
Violets first egg was a creamy pinkish color with some pale blue/green specks (or calcium deposits?) I was a little bummed out but the next egg she laid and I know for sure it was hers was a pretty pale blue ( I even cracked it open to see if it was a true blue egg inside and out and it was!)...
Hello! I bought a flock a little less than a year ago when I wanted hens that laid blue eggs. I was brand new (still am new) to chickens so I wasn’t concerned with the breeding. Now that I’m learning more, I’m getting more interested in true breeds and breed standards. I was told the flock I...
Our second Legbar hatched today and I was wondering whether it is a boy or a girl because it’s slightly more yellow than the “normal” Legbar
What do you think?
I'm new to chickens, about 2 years in now, I just have a question for funsies. I recently ordered a mixed batch of eggs, three of which were 55 Flowery, and they were huge round eggs (all three bigger than average). First question, is that normal for 55 flowery?
I also have a few cream legbars...

Four of my chicks just rounded the 18 week mark on Sunday. I purchased two of them as day-old Easter Egger pullets, and two as day-old Olive Egger pullets. There is a chance that I switched the two breeds at birth and...
It is actually only day 18 here today...and it hatched while still in the incubator. I'm putting them in a separate hatcher tonight. Such a nice surprise to come down and see this little fluff ball sitting on the eggs patiently. First I saw the egg with the hole in it, and no chick anywhere...
I'm in search of 3 purebred Amaraucana females. Don't care if they're chicks or pullets, just under 6 months old. (Preferred if they haven't started laying yet, but don't hesitate to mention even if they have) Looking for them in VA, MD, WV, South/Southeast Ohio, and Southern PA.
Thanks!
Love the blue eggs!
