Some updated photos of our flock that includes their age and breed.
Thoughts on hen or rooster for our flock? We're pretty sure Bonbon is a rooster... We're not allowed roosters in the city we live in 😭
Thanks in advance!
I’m checking back in after a long time away, it's been years since I was last active here, and I’m excited to rejoin the flock!
I’m writing from Hawaii, where. I've raised chickens for 42 years now. It’s truly been a lifelong passion. These days, I focus on a few select breeding projects that...
I bought this Pullet from a elderly Lady that lives near me, all she could remember is that it's, "some kind of Ameraucana", does anyone know what Breeds it might be?
I'm assuming not just Ameraucana because it lays green Eggs?
Hello! This is my 5½ week-old pullet Blondie. She has just developed feathers framing her face - I think it's called a beard?? From similar images, I think she may be an Olive Egger? Any breed guidance is greatly appreciated! 🙂
I have an Olive egger hen named Lacey. She looks and acts healthy and alert, and led me in quite a chase when I decided to inspect her today. She lays a lovely olive and speckled egg that is very unique and noticeable, and I really enjoy getting them, but she hasn’t layed in about a week...
Hello! I would love your guesses on whether my lovely Blue Olive Egger is a pullet or a roo. He or she is exactly 4 weeks old, most likely a Copper Maran and an Ameraucana mix. Purchased as a pullet from Ideal Poultry. Comb is very light pale pink, no signs of wattle at the moment. Thanks in...
This is our first hatch along at our brand new farm!! We have two Nature Right incubators ready to go.
We will be setting 30 (plus a few more) eggs. They will be dark/gold/blue Brahmas, Brahmacaunas, OE/EE eggs from Darling Poultry and Honey Bea Homestead, in Maine.
Honey Bea’s dozen are under...
I’ve been posting so many sad things on here lately that I felt the need to share something nice!
Of course, it still comes with all the sad stories that led to it, but some of the April showers really did lead to flowers—or at least, the friendliest batch of chicks I’ve ever raised!
It started...
We have 11 of these precious little balls of fluff! They are a straight run barnyard mix of Marans/Leghorn (Dad) and Buff Orpington (Mom) or Easter Eggers (Mom). They were born on Friday 5/3 and Saturday 5/4.
We are in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Pickup only
bought this chick from TSC listed as a “olive egger pullet” from week one I’ve been thinking it’s a cockerel due to lack of tail feathers and size of comb. Chick is now three weeks old. Any guesses what breeds were crossed to make him? What about sex?
The rest of the gals I'm confident in, but these two are confounding me. My first batch I'm having to figure out!
I'm worried that their feathers are starting to look so pointy around the neck? But they are my only two olives and they look so similar I can't tell if they are both roo's or if...
We have two Roos in need of rehoming (we hatched them as chicks and have too make roosters)! They are fibro olive eggers - dad is all black and mom is mostly black with some brown neck feathers. They are gorgeous Roos with some beautiful speckling! Not aggressive and still young! Asking $20 each...
Easter Eggers are not a standardised and recognised chicken breed, but they are mixed crossbred X chickens created in barnyards by hobby farmers all around the world.
They carry the gene of the blue and green egg shell. This means that breed like rumpless araucanas, crested british araucanas...
This is my baby Loretta Lynn, I have bonded with her from the begginging. When we first bought her and Patsy Cline her sister were labeled Olive eggers. I have looked up plenty picture and Information but all the olive egger pictures on Google look different. Is she a olive egger, are there...
Hello peeps, I have a genetics question. I crossed a blue roo with my olive egger who is half cuckoo maran, therefore she has the barring gene and will give sexed off springs that are barred, only males will be barred. My question is, will all chicks have a dot on the top of the head or only...
