These are 7 weeks old today, I bought 7 chicks of various breeds from a local feed store as "pullets", so far I have 1 EE Cockerel and 1 BO Cockerel out of the bunch. I've been searching on here for what to look for in females and male EE's but I want to confirm what I think (that they're both...
I have 10 hens and a rooster ranging from 9 months to 1 year old. They are fed flock raiser, have plenty of water, get daily oyster shell and a treat mix that consists of scratch feed and mealworms.
One of our EE girls(1 year old) has started laying thin shelled eggs pretty consistently...
Hiya again! I had posted a few weeks back with 4 of my Easter Eggers... this one however has a head that looks like the mad professor! Am I seeing things with rather pointy neck feathers?? Lol.. either way, it's a keeper and a beautiful bird IMO.
I was fairly confident they were pullets until this week when some combs started pinking up just a bit. Now I’m sort of freaking out. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I have had them for 6 weeks, but they may be as much as a week older than that.
I bought some chicks that I expected to be Easter Eggers, but a couple seem distinct. The top little one has feathers all down to her toes and has yellowish fur. There is a black and grey one with legs that seem to be turning black/slate; there’s one with distinct eye markings. The other two...
These are two of my EEs. Both 10.5 weeks old. I ordered all hens, but you know how that goes. So now I’m playing the hen v roo game constantly with these two. Looking for any input please!
Hello this is my first time raising chicks. I work at a farm and we received a shipment of 300 or so layer chicks five weeks back. Around 70 of them were leghorns, 25 are welsummers, 100 are isa browns, and 100 are various easter eggers. We have been raising them in a brooder inside our...
Could any of you please help me?
I have only successfully hatched 2 Lavender Araucanas a roo and a hen. I will pen them together as I hope to add more from their eggs when they mature. I thought I might also add some other breeds to make easter eggers so I am thinking of putting a couple of the...
Hi! What exactly is an easter egger, and what are the odds of a hen having the blue egg gene, while having the appearance of some other chicken. And also, is there any way to make hens lay natural 'easter egg' color eggs?
Ok. I have seen too many posts with people saying "Here's my pure Americana (note the spelling) what color is it?" The pic is always of a beautiful EE.
So here goes: THESE TRAITS are what determine whether yours is the rare pure Ameraucana...or the very common EE!
(EEs are mixes that lay...
Hi Everyone! I'm a Mama to my first flock of 6, 4 Easter Eggers, and 2 Bantams, a Porcelain D'uccle and a Mille Fleur. They are about 22 weeks, and so far, four are laying. I never thought chickens could be so much fun, with their unique personalities. They have become like my therapy animals...
Hi everyone! I was letting my girls out a few minutes ago to play in the garden, when I realized how pretty my EEs have gotten now that they r older. Despite the fact that they are at that awkward teenage stage (you know the one, big feet, uneven feathers- stray feathers, weird voice cracks, and...
I bought "amerucanas" 8 weeks ago and they are not, which I knew ahead of time. Anyways, one of the boys is rumpless and the bottom on his feet are yellow. Maybe an araucana??
