Hello my wonderful brilliant friends! I first want to start off with how glad I hav this wonderful community to turn to, it’s been amazing!
Here’s my question, we got those little guys and were told they were Ameraucanas, I have read and read and I’m just getting more confused instead of...
I recently ordered 10 Easter Eggers off of the tsc website without realizing I was ordering 10 males!!! How accurate is their sexing? Should I keep them until they’ve grown a bit to see if I by chance got a pulley or two? Or sell them now?
Well we are having a time picking an Ee female chick from the sexed bin at TS. In March my granddaughter (5) picked out six female chicks, we really were hoping for an EE because of the various egg colors.
As the chicks started growing I realized that this time we got an EE (sexed bin never...
I have 2 Easter egger chickens which are 20 weeks old. I'm told one of the ways to tell if theyre getting ready to lay is how red their faces are...but I don't really know how red is red enough! Also they don't have combs? I have some younger chickens of different kinds and they all seem to have...
Hi!
We have an Easter Egger that was supposed to be a female but we are becoming increasingly suspicious that she may be a he. Current age is 9 or 10 weeks.
I found this older forum and it gave me hope that we might luck out in the end...
This EE was hatched May 6th. It is supposed to be a she, but her neck feathers seem long. As I understand EEs can be all over the place. What do y’all think?
Boy or Girl?
Hey. I am looking at adding more silkies to my farm along with a few Easter eggers and olive eggers. Does anyone know of any online hatchery's that ship and offer different color silkies along with easter eggers? I have looked at a few but the shipping is always more than the total of my chick...
I really just want to show off my new chicks, lol. I'll be asking about gender in about a month or so . Hoping for some ladies as I have enough roos . Does anyone have any pics of chicks that looked like mine but all grown up? I'm so excited!!!!
Here are my chickies
P.S. They are about 12...
Hey all! My feed store sold this little lady (hopefully Lol) as an Ameracauna, but I thinking she might be an Easter Egger. I had read that EE’s get labeled A’s a lot. Thoughts? Her coloring wasn’t listed under the recognized A colorings I looked up.
She’s two weeks old. When I first got her...
My 10 week old Easter Eggers are so inseparable they will fly over anything to be together ! Here is a cute short video of one flying over the pool and landing in our hand. Usually she lands on our head

They love each other so much!

Hello BYC Family!
I've got a pretty broad random question for you all. So I'm looking at raising a flock (from scratch) my last flock were sadly killed by coyotes while being watched by my parents while I was traveling for work :hit:hit...so im looking at starting a mixed flock this time...
I recently moved out of town on 5 acres and purchased 6 chicks from the local feed store. I lived in town my whole life, so this was very exciting for my boys and I.
We watched them grow and couldn't wait until they started laying eggs. We purchased 2 Ameraucanas, 2 Wyndottes, 1 RIR, and 1...
Hi everyone!
Newbie chicken person here.
I have exhaustively researched caring for chicks. I have the brooder box ready. I’ve ensured there is enough room, adequate heat based on age of chicks and I plan on moving them to the coop around 6 weeks of age based on the reccomendations I’ve read...
Ages ago I had a small flock and had to get rid of them due to moving to an apartment in the city.
Now I'm back with a new, significantly smaller flock. I have 3 EEs that are now 38 weeks old and no signs of laying! Lazy suckers!
--I feed them a commercial 16% feed (as soon as I'm out I'm...
my hens are about 28 weeks old. All are laying except for my lone Easter egger, who is also at the bottom of the pecking order. She (he?) is vocal but doesn’t crow, and certainly doesn’t crow first thing in the morning. I did have a roo so I know what they should sound like.
So based on these...
I have a 1.5 year old Easter Egger Bantum that is now on her fourth round of broodiness in 3 months. Each time I have banished her to chicken jail (dog kennel indoors with food and water only) for a few days. Each time this breaks her for a few weeks. During that time, she will return to daily...
