Easter Egger club!

So thinking of moving my 6/7 week chicks out to their coop this week but we are supposed to have thunderstorms all week. Lows in the 60s and highs from mid 70s to low 80s. Should I wait or go ahead?

Elmer might fit him better.

I would love some information about my Easter Eggers, and Easter Eggers in general. I'm not sure I fully understand the concept of an Easter Egger. They are blend chickens, correct? I have 2 EE chicks I just got, I was told one was a kalamata EE, and would lay dark green, almost brown eggs. My 2 EEs are both gray, but they are so different! One is darker, one is lighter, one has feather legs, the other doesn't, one looks like it has a peacomb, the other is fairly flat, one has crazy long legs! Any idea what they could be blended with?

Mary Louis Parker is the top one, Zooey is on bottom



Zooey is in the next 3 pics






Mary Louise Parker

Mary needs a guy name. Not sure what is in the mix but I see feathered legs on zoey .

I was wondering on Mary Louise. Why do you predict roo? The three peacomb? I have heard that can be somewhat hit or miss. Thanks!

The comb is larger and pink . I assume they are about the same age .

My girls are starting to make more and more noise. Anyone have tips on keeping them quiet? They are good on food and water. And the coop is a good size for the three of them.

I let them out after work on weekdays and a couple times a day on the weekends.

It's really my RR that is the noise maker but the other two get going sometimes

Mine will be 6 weeks next Monday and I was wondering the same thing. I was planning to put them out this weekend if the weather holds. We don't have the rain, but the temps are kind of comparable 80s to low 90s during the day, down to the 60s on the cooler nights. I've retired the heat lamp unless we get a sudden temp drop. So I guess I'm just doubling up on the question!

If the low is 60's you are good

Pleas tell me your kidding!!

I don't need an Elmer! Lol we got 4 straight run BOs and I think at least 3 are Roos so I got 4 EE pullets I defiantly don't need another Roo!
