easter egger

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...

Our rooster needs re-homing! He’s a beautiful Easter Eager which means his future chicks (attached photos of him as a chick) will be sweet with humans and great egg layers. He has a great pattern (white w/ black one in the photos). His tail is an emerald color. He is very good with humans and is...

I have this beautiful, metallic lavender olive egger Roo, that I hatched from an egg and is now five months old. I don’t know what to breed him with. I have read there are certain things you’re not supposed to breed because of the recessive gene. I have lavender Orphington’s, and light Brahmas...

Any idea what breed she is? She was said to be a Black Star but the other two I got her with look alike and she looks much different. She’s got some EE traits but the black coloring and bluish iridescent feathers like the other two; however, she has bluish legs and they have yellow. She also has...

This is Chives, an Easter Egger. She is 17 weeks old now. I purchased her from Rural King at 5 days old. They told me the hatchery sexes them and has an 85-90% accuracy rate. I do not know the hatchery they use. I am in central Tennessee, about an hour and a half west of Nashville. When I...

Hi! This is my first post after following the site for a while 😁 we have a new flock of backyard chickens and all is well. We most recently got five Easter Egger chicks and I’m highly suspicious that “Husky” is a rooster. He/she is five weeks old today and has a very pronounced comb to my novice...

I have an Easter Egger hen who had an impacted crop for somewhere between a few days to up to a week. It took about 3 days to correct once I discovered it but it might have been a few days before I noticed. She’s still thinner than my other Americana but not super thin. I don’t believe she has...

I ordered a bantam assortment of all feather legged from Ideal Poultry awhile back. I also added four EE bantams to the order so therefore technically the ONLY clean legged birds I should’ve received aside from extras would be the EEs. I received all my feather legged birds and three confirmed...

Hi there, I am posting once more in hopes that someone has room for our Easter Egger rooster. He came from a group of chicks I got in April that were all supposed to be hens but you know how that goes! Willing to deliver him to your doorstep outside the city. I would not consider him...

Bought this “sexed” Easter Egger but she started crowing. Is she actually a he or is she just crowing because she’s confused and there isn’t rooster?

Jalapeño is a lovely bird, but he found his voice and I can’t have a rooster in my area. I hatched him in April, he’s really pretty with shiny blue grey feathers. I wish I could keep him.

Hi All, I have three Easter eggers for sale. $15 each. About 10 weeks old. Vaccinated. Let me know if you’re interested :) These are the last of a batch of 12 chickens that I’m selling this summer and I’m ready to be done haha - so make me an offer. 🤷🏼‍♀️
