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 have a 10 week old EE pullet bought from TSC. Amongst a flock of EE, orpingtons and australorp.
Went to let her out and she would not stand. Do I picked her up and she was limp. I checked her butt and had a nugget of poop stuck to feathers about an inch from her vent. Otherwise vent looked...
Hi! Selling our mixed breed backyard chicks. The boys are hoping for $5 each, but I’m open to offers. :)
Mixed breeds, good egg layers, not show quality. Our roos are a Cochin, langshan, and Japanese bantam. Our hens are RIR, Black ameracauna, Plymouth Rock, Easter egger, Delaware, and...
Hi everyone! We got this Easter egger from a local feed store and it was supposed to be a hen, but my husband and I are convinced it is most definitely a rooster based on its comb. Can you help?
Hi everyone! Sorry if I am not posting in the right thread, I tried to find one more suited to my question but this was as close as I could find. Anyway, I have a cuckoo lemon orpington & leghorn mix rooster. I have a rhode island red, Plymouth barred rock, easter egger, Golden Laced Wyandotte...
Hey all!
Yesterday I let my hens out, and I decided to pick up one of our old girls and hold her for a bit. She’s a 10-year old Easter Egger named Camilla. She relaxed way easier than she usually does. She hasn’t enjoyed being held since she was 4 or 5. Then I noticed all of her feathers...
I’ve got 15 chicks, black copper Marans and olive/Easter eggers. Some of them are pretty obvious who’s who’ve but the others are more difficult. Help! The marans are 5 weeks and the eggers are 6.
I've got 20 chicks, black copper marans, easter eggers, and silkies. The silkies are 7 weeks old, the easter eggers are 6 weeks, and the marans are 5 weeks. When and how do I sex them? Is there a way to do so before the roos start to crow? I can send pictures of each individual chick if need be...
I know it’s really early but I’m wondering if anyone can help me figure out the sex of my four chicks, the bigger they get the more I think I have 3 cockerels and one pullet. Help!
My beautiful easter egger rooster, "truffles" about 4 months old, needs a good home. I can only keep hens and thought he was one but he is quite obviously a rooster now. He's sweet and gorgeous and friendly but I'm just not allowed to keep him. Would like to find him a good home.
My Easter Egger hen just laid her fist egg yesterday. She was acting completely normal scratching around the yard with the other hens. Today, however, when I went out to feed them, she was sitting in the far corner of the coop all by herself. She didn't respond at all to the food and I had the...
Hi everyone? Today I gathered my eggs and noticed I had one olive colored egg / mocha colored. I own three barred rocks that lay beautiful pink light brown eggs, 2 Amerucana , 1 bcm and 1 olive egger. Could this egg be from my Amerucana hen? Until today I was receiving one blue egg everyday...
hi,
I’m such a short time, it’s been a journey. We are first time chicken owners.
We started out 7 weeks ago with a brooder box of 5 chicks, 3 days old. 2 were roosters, so I traded for 2 chicks that are a week or so younger than mine. I’m not happy with the type they are, unknown breed, I was...
