Hi all, I know 4 weeks old is pretty young to be sexing but I have one chick who has grown a ridiculously large comb. This particular chick came from a huge egg, was a huge chick from the get-go, and has grown much faster than the others. One other chick I suspected of being a rooster because it...
I was told the bigger chick is an Easter Egger and that the tiny one is a Serama. Im questioning the breed of the Serama. This is my first go at chicks; I usually get ducklings. What would you say the breeds are?
TIA!
I’m hearing that as far as the pea comb goes 3 means a male and one means female has that been accurate for you? Has anyone noticed what they thought was a pullet develop a 3 row pea comb and turn out to be a male or still female? Also with tail feather developing later has then been accurate...
I bought 7 Easter egger chicks from TS and they were advertised as females im wondering how many of you have gotten chicks from TS and ended up with chicks that were mis-sexed? Or even mis breaded? I have 2 that got there combs coming in at the end of week 1 which seems freakishly early lol and...
I've scoured the internet and haven't been able to find anything about this. The two newest members of my flock, Easter Eggers, have just started laying some lovely olive-brown eggs.
It was cold today, and as I was holding the egg in my hand, I noticed it had changed colors where my fingers...
I hatched out 4 eggs. they were from a 1, blue Ameraucana over blue and white Ameraucanas and a cream legbar, and from 2, an Easter Egger pen. am I correct here?
brown is a legbar cross, black is an Ameraucana, and the two lighter babes are Easter Eggers? eggs weren't labeled.
A few weeks ago, the kind woman I bought my incubator from offered me 12 free eggs to start my hatching journey. Peering into the basket, I saw many shades of green and dark brown eggs. One by one I sorted through which eggs I wanted until my hand paused on the largest green egg that I have ever...
This is my new handsome roo. Estaban.
I don't really care what breed he is its more of a curiousity and he was raised free range and takes care of the hens when they are out.
My guess is a sapphire gem, easter egger or amerucana cross
The people i got him from have a range of birds but the...

Hi! I'm a first-time poster and first-time chicken owner :). I have a flock of 4, all 13 months old. They all started laying around 6 months and 3/4 have consistently been laying an egg a day since. But my easter egger stopped laying in September (~5 months ago, when she was about 8 months old)...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Have not gotten any yet but plan to.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I'm planning to start with 6.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I like what I hear about Rhode Island Reds, Easter Eggers, and Barred Rocks. Mostly...
