    Easter Eggers - Quiet, Friendly and Easy-to-Manage?

    Hello Community, My wife and I will be getting 6 chicks soon and are in the process of building a chicken tractor for pasture-raising the chickens in our backyard. We are hoping to get quiet, friendly and easy-to-manage birds. We are probably going to get 2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Speckled...

We will be getting 6 chicks soon and are in the process of building a chicken tractor for pasture-raising the chickens in our backyard.

    Ameraucanas

    What is required to make a chicken an Ameraucana and not an Easter Egger? For a great deal from a local breeder I got a mix of green and blue egg layer hatching eggs, but I wouldn't get to know what breeds they were. About 9 months later I have Super Blues and Easter Eggers, but one of them I...

    Comparing Easter Eggers at 7 weeks, sexing question?

    Hello all! My EE are 7 weeks old. They look big to me, maybe it's just me? I'd like to see photos of your EE's too! Any age, any sex, just wanna see the range of differences out there. Also, the first pic are the two in question regarding their sex. They seem to fight (play?) With each other...

    Meet my girls!

    Had a hard start with my chicks- 4 came in the mail, only 1 still alive. We call her Lucky! But we got 3 more that same day to keep her company from a local feed store (Cal Ranch) and they've all done well since that fateful day. Now the our mail order baby is 15 weeks old and the others a...

    Could this rooster be a hen??

    This is my first round of raising chicks. So far all of our guesses on pullets and cockerels have been correct. This guy had the red comb early on with the rest of the cockerels and the feather pattern looks like a rooster, but he hasn’t crowed yet and he never stands up to the other rooster and...

    Easter eggers or Ameraucanas?

    I bought these 2 pullets as ameraucanas earlier this spring, and the lady said they are known by the olive colored legs/feet which they both have. However, when I looked up the breed standards and pictures, I'm not seeing any like them. When I look up Easter eggers, they have almost identical...

    Ameraucanas or Easter eggers?

    So i got these cuties yesterday. Told they were ameraucanas but I am thinking Easter eggers. Any other opinions would be appreciated. Thanks #1 #2 #3 #4 thanks in advance. I sure love these little birds. They all have the puffy cheeks and darker legs.

    "Easter Egger" Hens in the Phoenix, Peoria, Glendale AZ area.

    I would like to rehome at least part of my flock. These are free range in the backyard hens that I have raised from chicks. There are 6 hens I am debating keeping two of them for bug control but may consider rehoming all. They have all been very healthy. One of the hens has gone broody a...

    Any Experience w/orders from Paris Farmers Union?

    Anyone ordered from Paris Farmers Union and feeling willing to share their experience? I'm looking at them specifically for Araucana pullets and (maybe) Embden goslings. I've read plenty of warnings that large hatcheries or retailers sell Araucanas, Easter Eggers, and Ameraucana or Americana...

    Autosexing hybrid question

    I crossed a Blue Wheaten ameraucana with production reds. The blue wheaten males are distinguishable from the pullets at a pretty early age, and my chicks are growing in white and brown wing feathers, like their dad had. Granted, they're less than a week old, but will the autosexing continue...

    A question on Easter egger chicks

    I just got 6 Easter eggers chicks from the local feed store. The lady there handed them to my mom because she was just putting them out. When she brought them home I noticed that only one has really puffy cheeks like they should. Is this cause they are a mutt breed and some have more genes then...

    Hatchery vs breeder araucanas

    Hello! I had a really unfortunate hatch this weekend and had only 1 Bielefelder chick make it (with cross beak and one eye). "Gloria" needs a little guidance on what to do as a chicken, and all my others are way older, and I won't be hatching again till June, so I've been contemplating going...
