    Ameraucana/ Barnevelder Cross

    I have a pure lavender ameraucana rooster, and a barnevelder hen I'm thinking about breeding this year. Has anybody crossed this pair and gotten nice olive eggs? Or are they likely to come out more like an EE egg? I know most people use marans for the dark brown eggs but I don't have any of...

    My 3 Girls and their first Milwaukee Winter!

    Here are some pics of my 3 Easter egger girls (our first chickens)! My husband and I have been using tips from this community and hoping for the best during week 2 of sub-zero temps in an unheated, pre-fab coop. So far so good! Here is what I’ve been doing: 1. My black Easter egger started...

    What exactly is an Easter egger?..English Ameraucanas??

    Hi, hope someone can spare me their time to tell me the answers to these questions :) I see a lot of posts here about Easter Eggers, Ameraucanas, Americanas and Araucanas. Are the EEs just a hybrid of the Ameraucana? Can I find some here in England? I have seen mostly F1/F2 olive eggers and the...

    Easter Eggers all stopped laying at 15 months old. Been almost 4 months now.

    We have barred rock, rhode island reds, and easter eggers. Got them as chicks April 2016. All normal until this summer, they stopped laying, then maybe a month later they started molting. They finished molting a month ago. In total it's been around 4 or 5 months of literally zero blue eggs...

    EE hen doesn't lay anymore?

    I have seven chickens, two of which are Easter Eggers. One of them, Tiger, seems to have stopped laying. She is only two years old as of this past May, but we haven't gotten two blue eggs in a day for about six months. Also, she didn't molt last fall and she is molting super lightly this year...

    Happy Hen Peep

    Hi fellow chicken people! I have six hens, purchased from my local feed store the end of February this year (2017). Two of each breed: Welsummers (Vera and Vergie), Salmon Faverolles (Fanny and Pluma), and Easter Eggers (Thelma and Louise). My two Welsummer girls, Vera and Vergie, were the...

    What is the yellow one?

    our chicks came today!! I think I've figured out who is who based on what I ordered. But the yellow one I think is my bonus chick. Is it a golden comet?

    My Chicken Egg Color Changed

    My Easter Egger started laying eggs a couple weeks ago. The first couple eggs were a bluish green, then later just green eggs. Which seemed normal, because she just started laying. And after laying quite a few green eggs over the last few weeks, she suddenly laid a blue egg yesterday, and today...

    Good Layers for 7A/B Climate (Cleveland, TN)?

    We have an average annual high of 71, average annual low of 47, and average annual precipitation of 54 inches of rain. It does hang out at nearly 90 for around three months straight and sits around freezing for two months. I am leaning towards an even mix of Rhode Island Reds, Easter Eggers, and...

    4 week old Easter egger pullets or cockerals?

    Hi everyone, I have 4 chicks that were vent sexed as pullets and are 4 weeks old. I'm pretty confident that the buff Orpington and silver laced Wyandotte appear to be pullets, but I'm unsure about the 2 Easter eggers.... Behavior wise they are very fearful, flighty and spastic. The last time we...

    Should I separate my cockerel until he is mature?

    I once read somewhere that as a male chick goes through "puberty" he can be mean to the hens, and that you should separate him from them during that period and bring him back after he's fully matured. Our easter egger chicks are 4 months old, 7 girls and a boy. I've noticed him being a bit rude...

    What breeds of chickens do I have?

    Where to begin? I was originally think the black chicks were barred rock, but after looking a little closer, some have a redish brown tint to their faces which made me think black sex-link. However, even the ones who don't have this red coloring still have white on the top of their heads. Any...

    VA-Free EE Cockerel

    15 week old Easter Egger cockerel is mostly black and white right now but has buff and red coming in. Also has a lovely pea comb. Edd is docile and easy to handle, but still keeps an eye out for his girls. I would keep him, but I really don't have enough hens. I am willing to travel to find him...
