We finally found Buff Brahmas at our local TSC(Hoover's) and got four "premium pullets" (yes yes there's a reason it's in quotes lol)
We brought them home March 2nd (with an Easter Egger)
They are housed with four rowdy olive eggers who are a week older lol I swear they think they are song...
My rooster Andy is a big sweetheart. He was 'not to often' with his ladies when it came to topping them. There were no injuries or feather issues. Well, then I had to move back in with my dad. He has a pen with a rooster and hens, and then a separate but connected pen for a pair of game chickens...
These girls were sold to me as brown red Ameraucanas but they obviously aren’t. 2/5 have beards and muffs, one is an obviously lighter colour than the rest. Any ideas? They definitely have lots of Americauna in thrm and her whole flock lays blue eggs but some looked suspiciously green to me as...
So I purchased a dozen lavender orpington eggs last year from a local lady to add a new bloodline to my stock. When I hatched them I did not get lavender orpingtons, lol, I got these beauties instead!
I know they are lavender and ameraucana or easter eggers (I would call them EE just to be sure)...
We got more chicks! Yay! But in the process I've been grounded from getting more. Lol. Actually I've been told I'm not allowed to go to TSC anymore lol
We have 6 egger eggs(one did) under a broody and 9 chicks inside plus our 23 outside. (One is a rooster that needs a new home lol from our...
Hello there all you lovely chicken-experts, we got a first egg from Ella our Easter Egger today and it was a biggie (70g) 🙌. It’s got us wondering what she might be crossed with and if we might have a blue egg layer crossed with a Brahma or Cochin maybe 🤞🏼? I ask because I noticed a few rogue...
Hello. I’m trying to figure out if our 7 week old Easter egger is a rooster? I know it’s early, but have heard “her” making a sound almost like a rooster crow. Thanks for any help.
We are attempting to hatch some eggs this year. Over the winter we lost 2 hens to cats. We have one hen that's been pretty broody lately so we decided to see if she will hatch the eggs. We had to start removing the ceramic eggs from whenever she was brooding because she wouldn't leave them...
Got this chicken and was told it was a pullet, but now at 14-16 weeks or so it’s mounting one of my silkies all the time. It’s at the bottom of the pecking order so I don’t think it’s just a dominance thing. Looks like a golden laced Wyandotte to me but was told it’s an Easter egger. I just...
this is my first flock, and i’ve identified this “hen” as an easter egger due to the green legs, however the tail feathers are starting to make me think “she” is a “he”. Comb and wattle say hen (IMO) but like i said, first time raising chickens since i was 8-10 years old, so could use the expert...
Hi all starting this thread pre-emptively as I'll be getting my chicks in the next couple of days.
(Anxiously waiting on shipping to be updated as it's been 12+ hours with no movement lol). I know I need to be patient but I'm anxiety ridden cause shipping not being updated has happened on my...
Hi All - I have been searching and searching for a Chicken breed or cross that lays a good amount of white eggs and is suited for cold weather and coop raising that is NOT a leghorn. From all the threads I've read, it seems that many others are looking for the same thing.
I don't understand...
Hello everyone!
I never knew how deep into genetics you can dive when you start breeding and cross breeding to get fun variances! We have a mix of egg colors coming up in our flock and I’m looking for some help in better understanding the possible outcomes, and corrections on any wrong...
Here i will share everything about my flock of chickens. I’ll be posting whatever happens , so i hope you decide to come along for the ride.
Right now i have 7 chickens but I’m definitely going to upgrade the flock soon
I have two Ameraucanas in my flock (I THINK). The topic still confuses me, because I've learned that just because a chicken has parents that are both Ameraucanas, if they don't meet a certain color requirement, they might not TECHNICALLY be Ameraucanas, but instead be simply classified as an...
Hi! These ladies are 16 weeks old and I am fascinated by them! Prior to this group of chicks, we have had chickens that are a specific breed and easy to identify. I’m new to EEs and interested in learning more about them. Can anyone help me identify what breeds may have been used to produce...
Hi all! I currently have 7 chickens in total, Cochin rooster, Rhode Island Red rooster + his mate, and the 4 others I think might be a silkie/EE mix? Or Maran/Silkie mix? Not too sure and would love to know your guesses? Also if you all agree that I think I might have 2 roosters out of the cross...
Purchased 7 pullets labeled as Americanas. As they get older and the more I Google, I'm figuring out more info, but also confused. There are four with what we call a hawk like pattern and three that are mostly a solid color. Leaning towards these being easter Eggers but another thread said...
