Hey guys my chicks are about 2 months now and ready to move out all but my 2 speckled sussex chicks they are all the same age beside the black one (she's about 2 weeks older) it's plenty hot enough during the day but gets cooler at night especially when it rains. What should I do?
Here they all...
This is our first hatch along at our brand new farm!! We have two Nature Right incubators ready to go.
We will be setting 30 (plus a few more) eggs. They will be dark/gold/blue Brahmas, Brahmacaunas, OE/EE eggs from Darling Poultry and Honey Bea Homestead, in Maine.
Honey Bea’s dozen are under...
Sorry if this is dumb but I'm wondering if any educated chicken folks can tell me more about what breed my mutt chickens/Easter eggers are because when they were given to us we were only told they were Easter eggers.
Also I was wondering if anyone could take an educated guess at who lays what...
I have a rooster that I hatched out last summer from a clutch of eggs purchased as fertilized Easter egger eggs. He hatched out of a blue or green egg (I can’t remember which) and was solid white as a chick. He is beautiful and as I am getting ready to hatch out more eggs I am curious on...
Hi all,
My EE has this dark coloring by her face starting about a month ago. I thought at first it was just wet but it’s not. Any clues on what’s going or?
I appreciate your help!
A pretty colored chick I have. She's an Easter Egger silkie mix, her name is Hops. She actually might be a pullet now I'm not quite sure, she's mixed with a bantam so I don't know what size she's supposed to be. Anyways, Don't know if there's a name for this coloring, kinda reminds me of a mille...
I recently had a hen go broody and I got some fertilized eggs from my neighbor. She successfully hatched 2 of them and they are now almost a week old! They are happy and healthy and living with the rest of my flock. I know one hatched from a brown egg and the other from a dark green egg. Does...
One of my Easter eggers laid her first egg 8 days ago but none since. Is this normal? We are first time chicken tenders so still learning. My barred rock laid one the same day and has laid 3 others since then.
I'm so excited to say that 3 of my 5 fertilized eggs hatched!
They actually hatched last week on Friday/Saturday, they weren't 18 days like I thought in my previous post because turns out I was looking at a duck candling guide ha, silly mistake!
They all developed properly up until hatch day...
Got some chicks in February, now that they’ve gotten larger one is a male. We’re looking to get him rehomed because we live inside city limits and can’t have roosters. Otherwise it’s worst case for him.
need help sexing 12 week old Easter eggers. I’ve been told by multiple parties that they are pullets in person. However, Facebook people are saying cockerels. lol. They’re developing quite similar to my other hens who ended up laying, although people said cockerels. No noticeable roo behaviors...

Hi, we recently got into having backyard chickens. We have 5 RIR, 1 Leghorn, 1 Black Copper Maran, 2 Leghorn/RIR cross and just got my Buff Orpington Rooster. I would like to add some Coachen, Brahma, and EEs. What can I breed with him to get ER that have white with lavender spots or white...
Our rooster needs re-homing! He’s a beautiful Easter Eager which means his future chicks (attached photos of him as a chick) will be sweet with humans and great egg layers. He has a great pattern (white w/ black one in the photos). His tail is an emerald color. He is very good with humans and is...
