    Hen or Rooster? Breed Questions? Updated Pics!

    We have had a very busy past couple of weeks so we thought skipping posting a week of updated pictures would be reasonable! Kyle has been sick for the past week and I just had surgery yesterday, so we've been feeling pretty run down! Last night I sat down in a chair in the backyard and Kyle was...

    Easter egger Roo or Hen?

    Hi all! I have an Easter egger that is 18-19 weeks old now and i am pretty sure it’s a Roo but figured id ask the BYC experts here! Saddle and neck feathers are suspicious for a Roo as well as the larger redder comb. But the actual tail feathers seem more hen like. It has attempted a cock a...

    First time raising chicks and I am loving my Easter Eggers! I got 5 EE and 5 BO from a hatchery. I thought the BOs were supposed to be a more snuggly breed, but my EEs have really outshined them in personality and transformation. The beards have me laughing every time despite my dislike of them...

    EE cross with weird hairdew

    So my EE cross that I've had for 3 years or so has a weird hairdew. She has the beard and muffs like typical EE's but also the feathers at the sides of the base of her skull curl and slick back like a greasers hairstyle. Her father is a Golden duckwing pheonix x Golden Comet cross and her...

    Silkies bullied by Easter Eggers

    So, I need some help. I have three easter egger hens. They are about a year and a half old. They seem to be pretty docile birds so I figured that when I introduced three new silkie birds (2 hens, 1 rooster) to the flock it would be okay. I was told that easter eggers generally are okay to...
