Hello all! This is my first post here so hello :)
I currently am in my second year raising chickens, my sister in law actually started first and has helped me learn a few things plus my own research. She has a lot of typical brown egg layers in her cup(ISA Browns, Barred Plymouth Rocks) she...
these babies were hatched may 24th, making them ~33 days.
out of the 7, 4 are confirmed males, while 2 are confirmed females.
this one in particular is odd to me- she has had very quick feather development like another cockerel, is large and slender-bodied like the other cockerels, and is...
I hatched a few BYM hatching eggs and ended up with three pea-combed chicks. While all 3 of my single-combed chicks ended up visibly male, only one pea-combed chick so far has shown any comb development. However, while the 3 cockerels constantly size off and challenge each other, I’ve never seen...
I know that the two are black sex links, I think the white one is the Easter egg and then there’s two that are brown and black, one of them is not in the picture she or he is in the other side of the yard.
I hope I got enough pictures that you can tell me if I’m correct. The black sex links, I...
I recently hatched out 6 Crested Cream Legbar cross hatchlings, paired with my Paint Ameraucana EE rooster. I didn't get any paint colored chicks from this pairing. They were all black with a dark chipmunk stripe.
The cockerels have lighter beaks/legs + an obvious head dot.
The pullets have...
Hi everyone! I am a new chicken mama and I’m hoping to get help sexing 6 of my chickens (3 silkies and 3 Easter eggers). I’m pretty sure I have at least one rooster, the lighter Easter eggers but would love everyone’s opinions!
All are just about 7-8 weeks old. Thanks!
We got this Green Queen from Meyer Hatchery as a free “meal maker” layer chick. She’s got muffs and 5 toes.
We are really hoping she’s a pullet as she’s calm and friendly and we love her fluffy face.
She had big legs as a small chick but now is the same size as our Brahma chick who is...
Hey guys I need some help. I accidentally posted a Thread over the weekend asking about these guys and didnt get many replies. I think due to wording in header and pics. I have terrible internet at the house especially when it is raining. My pages kept jumping around when trying to post. It was...
Hello all!
I have a sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel named Kuro. He's already a good leader looking out for the pullets I've got, and I think he's pretty to boot. I'd keep him but I can't have a rooster in the city so he's got to go. If I can't rehome him before he starts crowing he's...
My old hen here passed away a few years ago. We believed she’s an ameraucana her whole life, but I’m starting to rethink that since I remember that she laid a blueish-green egg. What do you guys think?
I got 3 straight run Easter Egger chicks in March. They are about 10 weeks old and am trying to figure out their sex. I’m new to this so I appreciate everyone’s help. All three act fairly more aggressive than my other chickens which are hens.
I have two that are similar in color which I...
Hello all!
I have lost the chicken lottery and gotten one cockerel in with my pullets. I'm in town so I can't have a rooster. If anyone in the bay area wants a cockerel or knows someone who will take him please let me know. I can drive him to wherever he needs to go if necessary.
His name is...
We have 11 of these precious little balls of fluff! They are a straight run barnyard mix of Marans/Leghorn (Dad) and Buff Orpington (Mom) or Easter Eggers (Mom). They were born on Friday 5/3 and Saturday 5/4.
We are in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Pickup only
I just need some help possibly figuring out which ones are cockerals and pullets as i dont have much esperience with pea combs. I do understand that it may be too early to tell for sure and after a few weeks I will post updated pictures. I just need to know so I can go pick up some pullets from...
Hi everyone. I just got these 3 new little chicks and I would love some ideas on what breed they might be. The breeder said she had easter eggers, golden laced wyandottes, and silver laced wyandottes. I am not sure which ones I have, and would love some expert opinions. Thank you! Pictures are...
These are Atwoods chicks from a mixed pullets bin. They are five to six weeks old on this picture. I wonder if this is an Easter Egger? I split a six-pack with a friend.
I was told when I purchased 6 chicks on 3/13 that 2 were EE, 2 Bielefelder and 2 Blue copper Marans.
The BCM are easy to Id. And I’m pretty sure they gave me Olive eggers rather than EEs.
But then again I’m not sure if the brown ones are Bieles or EEs, especially the one with Mohawk.
Any...
Hello all! I have three birds that were born probably about March 12th ish, so they're about 6 weeks old now. They were sold as Americaunas, but as I bought them from a store for about $8 each I assumed they were Easter Eggers.
However, now i have some questions. The two I'm sure are pullets...
Hello,
My sweet Easter egger has 3 white spots on her waddle. They’ve been there for a month or so. She seems healthy otherwise but something to mention, a few months ago she had some really watery poops. I’ve not seen them in an about a month though. Does anyone have anything thoughts what...
