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...
So my almost 2 year old chicken has been acting odd past couple of days. I don't want to panic but just want an opinion. She had bumble foot and a dirty butt so we cleaned her butt and took care of her foot that was kinda when this all started. She is slow, tired a lot, drinking A LOT of water...
Easter Eggers are not a standardised and recognised chicken breed, but they are mixed crossbred X chickens created in barnyards by hobby farmers all around the world.
They carry the gene of the blue and green egg shell. This means that breed like rumpless araucanas, crested british araucanas...
So this project has been in the works since October 2024 when I acquired an Ayam Cemani rooster. I thought it would be very fun and interesting to breed him to completely other purebred types of chicken. So I tried to think of representatives for different genetics or groups of chicken. These...
We have two Easter egger hens (mix of amaurcana, australorp, and possibly buff orpington) with a lot of fecal matter below their vent (not on). I think their feathers are catching it. Is this normal or something to worry about? Should I trim their butt feathers?
I have received a package of 10 chicks this morning. This is a "Hoover's Hatchery Live Rare Standard Package Chickens" order that was placed through TSC. There seems to be two breeds included. This is my first go at having chickens, so I wanted to get an expert's opinion on the matter or at...
Hello again all!
My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...
