Easter Egger club!

Well i just went to a livestock auction. And well i bought 20 chicks for 1.50 a piece. and most if not all are EE's.

I also bought a dozen fertile mixed yard eggs for 2 dollars.
i bought just one more thing, a sweet white silkie rooster for 12.00 dollars, that i beleive i could show. SO I WILL BE HAVING SILKIED EE'S IN ABOUT A YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF.
It was to dark and my phone was dead, so i will have to get pics tomorrow.
Can i post pictures of my silkie on here to?

Also bad news, i lost a lot of august shipment EE's. I only have 3 left!!!

May I ask, what caused your loss?

Sure!! It was mostly from predators, but I had one die from a wound.

Yippee! My girl Ali laid her first cute little blue egg today. My marans both started laying on Monday. I just have one Easter Egger left to start laying. They are 25 weeks old.

Now my girl Shirley, the same color as yours lays a mint green colored egg

I need some help!
Out of the 20 babys I bought from the auction one has a messed up foot, and one has a cross-beak.
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN FIX THEM?

Cross-beak

Messed up foot.

Cross-beak

Messed up foot.

You can tape the messed up foot into place and make a little splint, as for the cross beak, not much can be done for them other than making sure they're getting plenty of food and water. Ive heard of people bandaging their heads but I'm not sure if that works or is safe.

if the cross beak isnt genetic i probably wouldnt worry about it.
but i will do the splint thing. THANK YOU A LOT!!!!!!

cross beak is from a deficiency in the feed...i have a hen out there laying and she has given me two late hatch crooked beak birds....yours doesnt seem to be that bad...and as far as crooked toes...you can use vet rx band aid and straighten the toes and place the sticky side on the bottom and the sticky side on the top...just be careful this stuff is not easy to get off....if you caught it in time you should be able to fix it...but sounds like it might be a little to late for the fixing part...normally within the first 24 hours you do this before the bones really start to set in and grow....
