Sharing my adorable chicks as they hatch. So far I have 7 chaos babies that hatched in odd pairs because I found hidden fertile eggs and couldn't stand them dying after developing so much. I now am in lockdown for my intentional birds.
My current mature flocks contain
Polish -3 roosters,3 hens...
I have Easter Eggers, Black Copper Marans, and a Prairie Bluebell Egger. According to everything I'd read, that was the expected laying order. Apparently, my girls didn't get the memo, because one of our Marans has now laid three small eggs over the past week, and our Bluebell just laid a...
I'm taking care of my friend 6 chicks until they're off heat. The EEs are about 3 weeks the OE is 4 weeks. We are both curious about what they will end up looking like. Would love to know what others think also 🥰
We have 3 polish hens (12 weeks) and we bought 6 Easter Eggers (now 4 weeks). Does anyone see any problems in introducing them together when the Easter Eggers when they are ready to go outside?
Hello, I have an 11 week old (as of first week in June) Croad Langshan Ameraucana cross from Alchemist Farm. I’ve heard them called Alchemist Giants, currently you cannot directly buy them, they are only available if you get one of their 10 chick surprise/homestead assortments. He is sweet and...
New parent of six Easter Egger chicks. They are 3 weeks old and currently in a brooder in my living room - very entertaining, but messy! Looking forward to watching them grow & move outdoors, still have to build their coop. Also looking forward to fresh eggs. Love this site, lots of...
I purchased week old chicks today. I got an Easter Egger and a Japanese Bantam. When I got home, I note the bantam had a lump its belly. I was a bit concerned and had no idea what it could be. I noticed this evening that it became lethargic so I gave it sugar water via syringe and it seems much...

My greenish EE egg hatched today and I was curious as to what the odds of it (if a female) is to lay colored eggs itself? The Roo is a Golden Comet... I seen different things about this but I'm kind of new to chicks and was confused with all the information out there.
Hi all, first time poster here I am new to BYC and a first time chicken owner. My 3 year old daughter has always loved chickens , so after a year of asking and me doing a lot of research I decided to go all in and start a backyard family flock!
We have 6 chicks , 3 pullets (sapphire gems) and...
One of my ee chickens keeps laying this type of blue banded egg. I noticed today there’s black raised spots all over it. Is this considered pimpling? I feed them 7 way, all flock pellets, and oyster shell daily. Is this potentially a health issue?
We bought 6 easter egger chicks in June we ended up with 2 cockerels which we rehomed and we're left with what we thought was 4 pullets, but now we are questioning if one of them is a cockerel that just developed late. We did have a dominant rooster in our flock that we had to dispatch 3 days...
We got two Easter eggers this year to add to our flock, they’re about 5 weeks old in the pictures and we’re curious about what breeds they were crossed with. I included two pictures of the black and white one, which seems to have a beard and one of the brown and grey one.

Hey all, very new to this and as a rookie I got 10 unsexed Easter Eggers (doh!!!). I can only have females where I live, so just looking to figure it out so I can start making some plans. My little boys have been great, they agree that we aren’t fully naming them until we know who we get to...
Please help me help her. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My Easter egger puller just started laying and now I come out to this! Pictures provided. She is eating and alert and can still fly, but just wants to be held.
