Hello everyone ! So my girl Sven has something weird going on. I’m suspecting it’s an infection somewhere in the laying process … other than the eggs she is completely fine - no breathing, inflammation, Bumblefoot or anything else on the outside. She’s eating and drinking as normal. She also...

Hello everyone! My name is Emily, I'm 29 (30 in june!), I'm from Oakland county Michigan, and I'm new to the chicken community. We recently bought our first house and are expecting our third child at the end of March, we have just started looking into chickens and quails for our new home. And im...

I need help :( over the last two or so days I’ve noticed my White Leghorns wings have been drooping and she keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day, and just overall doesn’t look great. I’ve been finding one egg nearly everyday that doesn’t have a hard shell… I’d say for probably the last...

I bought 4 EE “pullets” almost 16 weeks ago, and two have turned out to be Roosters… I was pretty sure this sweetie was a Pullet, but now I’m not sure. The tail feathers are metallic green, but not the same as the boys, there isn’t any rust color in the wings, and the comb (even though red)...

Not sure I titled this correctly, but I have a lovely EE/Barnyard Mix hen who is reaching the end of her laying days. She is over 7 years old. I just hatched an adorable chick from her, but so far it appears to have taken all it's father's looks. Which I mostly expected, he is pure black. I...

Curious what you guys think of these two

Hey guys! 👋🏻 I have anywhere from 8-10 week old Easter Egger. She/he is starting to make me think that it may be a roo. It’s neck feathers and and the tail feathers are long and sharp. It has a wing that comes up on its back as well. I am also wondering if it is developing crooked beak. It’s...

I have some new chicks that are about five and a half weeks old. They’ve been staying in my room with me since I got them, but what I had them in was getting a bit too small for them. I put them in the run tonight with the big girls in a dog crate. I’m going to introduce them using the playpen...

Hello all! I have a flock of ten hens, and everyday I let them free range in my yard all day until they’re ready to go inside the coop. I live in the middle of the woods in Massachusetts, so naturally there are predators, though we have a dog that spends most of her time outside with them, so...

It's amazing to me how you wait and wait for your first egg and then all of a sudden you're inundated with them! I am up to 7 eggs a day out of 11 hens. I really thought that I was getting blue eggs until my girl Harriet started laying 😍 I am 100% sure that Patricia (EE) is laying the olive...

As of October 5th, my 15 pullets are 18 weeks old. I also have a cockerel from my MIL who is 2-4 weeks older. I am (im)patiently waiting for my first egg. In the meantime I’m going to post a profile for each of my chickens. One a day. Hopefully it will help the next 16 days go fast and maybe...

Hello! This is my first time raising an Easteregger and Im looking for some help in determining gender. Lurleen is very spunky and fearless but also friendly and easy to pick up. I just dont know enough about Eastereggers to make up my mind for sure but im guessing Lurleen is a boy. Any help...

I was told that the rooster of my easter egger chicks had a pea comb and that all the chicks when they are roosters they get the pea comb and the hens can have big or small single combs. Is it possible I got a rooster with a single comb?

mid march i got a smaller flock of easter eggers, and i spent hours of my life digging through forums for any idea of what they would grow up to look like, so now that they're half grown, i figured i'd post the monthly photo updates i took, and continue to post updates as they age. i hope this...

I bought 9 Easter Egger chicks straight run in April, so they’re about 14 weeks now... are these two hens?! The other 7 have pointy tail feathers and slightly lager combs and big waddles

So I bought hatching eggs from a farm as Frizzle Easter Egger eggs, and though two of the eggs that hatched were black chicks, one of them not only had black feathers but also black legs/comb/skin (the other did not). Can EE’s have black combs/legs/skin?? How can I tell the sex of the chick...

Hello from downstate Illinois. I am new to chickens. My nieces, daughter, and I picked up day old baby chicks from Farm and Fleet on March 13th, the same day the governor ordered the shut down of the state. The timing was a complete coincidence, I had wanted to get chickens for years. Earlier in...

So about a month ago, I had purchased two EEs. They both had the beard fluff and were the same size, however- now, nearly a month later, they look drastically different. The lighter color one being what looks to be a perfect EE. The darker colored one is now showing signs that it may be a bantam...

I think these two looks like pullets. Do you agree?
