easter egger

Hello! I’m making this post to help my friend with his chicken, i’m attaching the text he sent in regards to how she’s acting. He said after researching that most sources told him it wasn’t anything big but he’s still worried and wants to make sure it’s actually okay ! For reference, the hen is...

Six week old chicks no longer need heat lamp. Have been vaccinated for Marek’s and are coop ready. Five are males and five are female. Have the following breeds left: 1 male Birchen Cochin bantam 2 female Birchen Cochin bantams 1 male Silver Sebright bantam 1 female Silver Sebright bantam 1...

Wanted some help identifying the breed of my one year old hen. We got her as a chick from farm and fleet, and she was sold as an Easter Egger. I know they can come in many different variations, but she does not have the typical fluffy cheeks or green legs. I included pictures of her as a chick...

10 weeks old Easter Egger: is it a cockerel or pullet? Thanks in advance!

Hello All, I have some EEs in the brooder. 3 weeks old. This one has a different feather pattern than the other 2 girls. Could this pattern indicate a cockerel? The first pic is the one in question. The second is the pullet.Egger, Feather,

My EE pullet will not sleep if she isn’t cuddled until she falls asleep and then put back in her coop. It’s kind of endearing. Thought I’d share.

Hello, Figured I'd start a little thread here as I grow my flock. I warn you though this will have ducks too. I will begin by welcoming my newest additions. I just got in some Belefielder, Welsummers, Andalusian, a silver wyandotte and a mystery chick courtesy of the hatchery. In the duck...

My husband and i have always wanted to have a small farmstead and this year we were able to add chickens to our lovely garden ! This is our first time owning chickens, but we've raised parakeets and other birds before. We currently have 11in our small flock 5 Easter Eggers, 3 black sex links...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes. I hatched and raised my first chicken in February of this year. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I currently have one. She is my emotional support animal. (3) What breeds do you have? She is an Easter Egger. (4)...

2 months old, so still early, I just am curious to see what you think. A. Suspected roo #1. Comb was tiny until this week B. Suspected pullet #1, I'm hoping that long tail is a mosaic trait C. Unsure but leaning towards roo #2. I think this one is a welsummer x mosaic based on the egg...

I bought this from a local man. He had ordered straight run chicks. He said they were easter eggers. The one I purchased was the last one left when I got my other breeds. It has been a very slow grower but is eating, drinking, healthy, and feisty. By far the sweetest in my group of barred rock...

I’m just curious if tractor supply “Easter eggers” are just all breeds that lay various color eggs, The older my chicks get I think I have at least 3 wyandottes, a barred rock or Cochin mix and maybe some classic “Easter eggers” I’m really excited about the variety but the older they get the...

Hi All, my dad has this hen, I am just curious what the color is called (if it is a specific color, I know EEs are mix breeds) because I like it. She lays a very pretty blue egg, she’s from a hatchery but I couldn’t say which one cause my dad has ordered from various hatcheries over the years...

I was so convinced my sweet chick daisy was a girl she is a lap chick already and I had thoughts others may be Roos but not her and now she is looking the most like she may actually be a male after all? Red comb forming also has red wattles coming in, “she” is 3 weeks old! Thoughts??? She is an...

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...
