I got this chick from tractor supply, was told it was a Ameraucana. It’s 4 weeks old. I’ve been reading up on Ameraucana vs Easter eggers. Also this is a straight run, I’ve thought it was a rooster from the beginning. What are your thoughts?
I have a question about my girl Bretta! I bought her at tractor supply during the summer and she was sold to me as a speckled Sussex. This would be my first ever time having one but from what I have seen Speckled Sussex chicks don’t really look like this. She has a lot of black around her face...
Hello, I bought this rooster as a white (ermine split) ameraucana from a local breeder however, after more research I learned ameraucanas are supposed to have slate colored legs. My rooster has white legs and bottoms of feet (and weirdly a slate colored spot on leg), does this mean he is an...
We were told these were Easter eggers however the lack of a muff and the larger single comb is throwing me off.
They are showing more and more color every day, two of them (2,3) with a predominant gray overcast with the splash. One of them (2) has some faint speckles of red. (3) is showing...
These two (hopefully) ladies were sold to me as Easter Eggers and are about 14 weeks old. Would be my first EEs and curious if correct. Has anyone gotten any fun egg colors from EEs?
The lighter one (with a mohawk?, lol) , first in the picture line up, her name is Elaine and her darker sister...
I need some chicken advise!
My almost 2 month old buff orpington x light sussex hens have blueish feet, and They've slowly darkened since being chicks. Does this mean they have some easter egger in them? Or is this common for their breed mix?
They are healthy looking feet so I don't think...
New chicken owner. I got these from the Easter egger bin at Rural King. They are at least 8 weeks old. Do you think they are really Easter eggers? Do you think pullet or roo? Thank you!
I got these chicks from a breeder as Ameraucanas. They look more EE to me. Plus, one of the 5 I got does not have the puffy cheeks and beard. She is the only female pictured. They all looked very similar as adolescent chicks, which differs from other batches of EEs I have bought in the past...
I am very particular about what names I name any animal..I like different and sometimes funny. Right now I have a white Old English Game Bantam named "Lu" (short for Little Ugly), a white silkie named "JJ", and a black silkie named "Black Betty" (after the song). JJ is raising 4 easter egger...
Hi all,
have a mystery going on and need help. Our 2 year old americana is not laying eggs in the coop. I am trying to figure out is she super good at hiding the eggs, or is there a health or environmental issue stressing her out.
The Setting
Here is some background live in a suburban area...
I recently bought new chicks and lost 3 due to failure to thrive despite all efforts. Now I am not even sure what breeds I still have. Can anyone help. I purchased a white Rhode Island, black orpington (I know which these are as they were older. I also had very young hatch-lings which were...
