    What cross is this?

    Hello there all you lovely chicken-experts, we got a first egg from Ella our Easter Egger today and it was a biggie (70g) 🙌. It’s got us wondering what she might be crossed with and if we might have a blue egg layer crossed with a Brahma or Cochin maybe 🤞🏼? I ask because I noticed a few rogue...

    Hen or Rooster?

    Hello. I’m trying to figure out if our 7 week old Easter egger is a rooster? I know it’s early, but have heard “her” making a sound almost like a rooster crow. Thanks for any help.

    Advice for a first timer

    We are attempting to hatch some eggs this year. Over the winter we lost 2 hens to cats. We have one hen that's been pretty broody lately so we decided to see if she will hatch the eggs. We had to start removing the ceramic eggs from whenever she was brooding because she wouldn't leave them...

    Hen or roo?

    Got this chicken and was told it was a pullet, but now at 14-16 weeks or so it’s mounting one of my silkies all the time. It’s at the bottom of the pecking order so I don’t think it’s just a dominance thing. Looks like a golden laced Wyandotte to me but was told it’s an Easter egger. I just...

    What is this feather pattern/color called?

    I have this EE (sold as "Americana") who is just so beautiful! Is there a specific name for this pattern or colors? I've never seen anything like it!

    Possible Easter Egger Cockerel

    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...

    anyone working on a white-egg laying Easter Egger? (or other white-layer cross)

    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...

    Having fun with egg color genetics!

    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...

    Ameraucana (?) Breed question and Pullet or Roo?

    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...

    Easter Egger Pullet Squad - help identify!

    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...

    New here!

    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...

    Americanas??

    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...

    Free Easter Eager rooster 12 wks- Portland, OR

    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...

    Lavender Olive Egger Roo, breed with who?

    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...

    EE or other breed?

    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...

    Fairly Confident in my Assessment

    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...
