Only Wondering about the red and yellow chicks in the picture the other ones are most likely Easter eggers ( was told Americaunas but doubt it ) but I was told the yellow one is a new hamshire but shes looking a little too yellow or will she become more red as the time goes by. The red one I was...
19 days ago I received 8 mixed fertilized eggs through the post via Royal Mail.
I have 6 bantams & 2 Rhode Island reds but it was my black silkie ‘Jemima’ who has gone broody along with a tiny frizzle called Molly who has decided to share the incubation :eek:
I candled them a few days ago & a...
Posting again with the other 4 rescue birds. All birds are continuing to thrive/ put on weight even in their temporary accommodations. So these are the next 4 that I'm curious about. As a reminder we rescued 8 birds, and the first four were deemed a silkie, wellsummer, red star, and white rock...
Hello all,
I am located in West Palm Beach Florida and I have a handful of birds for sale.
I have white and splash silkies available as well as a Barnvelder and a pair of Leghorn Easter Eggers.
The silkies are about 9 weeks old, the others are about 3-4 months old and close to the point of...
we have a small backyard flock of 3 hens ( we started with 5 but 2 turned out to be roosters and had to be re-homed), since losing our last male, our EE hen has become very noisy! If she senses any activity outside the coop she immediately starts in with a pterodactyl like screech. Our other...
My Hen might be a Rooster. What do you think? Easter Egger from Meyers Hatchery. 8 weeks old. Hope not only ordered 2 Easter Eggers. Looking forward to the eggs.
My cousin recently give me five Easter egger and I'm new to the whole chicken thing. I've tried reading up one how to tell a hen from a roo, but in all honesty I'm more confused then ever. Can some one please share their opinion about what sex my chickens are? Any other tips would also...
Hey! Thanks for helping.....I purchased 7 Rhode Island Reds and 7 Amerucanas (???) some of what I am reading is making me wonder though.....They all have the grayish/blue feet and legs, but some have cheek puffs and I thought Amerucanas didn't have those....They are what they are and I'll love...
Hi all! :love I have just been given the green light (a positive maybe) to begin my first flock!
I just wanted to start a thread on breeds that will be good for this semi-first timer.
My ideal traits are...
Smaller breed; working with a pretty average amount of space
Okay layers, will...
I was wondering if any one has had issues with silver laced wyandottes bullying. I introduced a couple silver laced Wyandotte six week old pullets to my other six week old ee pullets and one of my silver laced wyandottes started to chafe the other birds away from one of my water and food...
Anyone have any name suggestions for a 10 week old grey Easter Egger? She was white as a hatchling so I named her diamond but as you can see it doesn’t suit her much anymore.. :/ thanks for the help :)
We purchased baby chicks about eight weeks ago and have three Buff Orpington‘s three Barred Rocks and three Easter Eggers. I’m thinking one of my Easter Eggers is a roo! What do you think?
I have Cream Legbar hens that were breed by golden Cuckoo Maran.
I also have Americauna hens bred by a Golden CixkoC Matan.
What color will the eggs be?
So my wife and I tried to incubate maybe a dozen blue eggs from one if our EE hens that was mating with a silkie roo and we finally scored a fertile egg! Say hello to Hapa, our first hybrid chick. It seems to have some silver and gold coloration going on. I can't wait to see how it develops! <3
Hi Poultry people!

Maine & it hits -20 here in Winter.

Hey guys, I have a 6 month old hen and am not for certain what breed she is. I bought her from Rural King and she was sold as an Ameraucana. However, pics are below of what she looks like now. She looks like a spangled Russian Orloff to me, but bc they so rare I am hesitant to think thats what...
Ugh, somehow Bun Bun and Monkey the Easter egger hens that we've had since hatch (hence the Easter inspired name) turned out to be a males. They are easy to handle as my 2 kids pick all of our chickens up and even posed with them for Christmas cards. They hasn't started to crow yet but are quite...
