Hi guys!!

I'm new to BYC, but we just got some EE's from a local feed store about 2 and a half months back (there were sold as aracaunas, but everyone on here says there are EE's, which is fine with me!) and I love them so much!!

I have my beautiful rooster Archimedes

it's kinda funny, we named him that as a chick because he looked so much like the owl from The Sword In The Stone, not knowing he was a rooster. His pullet name was Nutmeg, but I figured out recently that he is actually an Archimedes!!


Here's my pretty white pullet Fanny. I think she's one of the prettiest chickens I've ever owned (I don't want to speak too soon though, the SLW's haven't grown up yet ).


I was so excited about the thread when I saw it, and all of ya'll have beautiful EE's!!

Can't wait till mine are fully grown so I can post more pics! ESPECIALLY Archimedes, I think he's going to be a beautiful rooster lol thanks for reading bye

This lassie passed away last week ! She started to show symptoms in the morning. A couple of hours afterwards she was dead. Any ideas?

Oh no!! So sorry for your loss. I'm new to chickens and have no idea what might have happened.

I'm so sorry about your hen, she was so pretty What were some of her symptoms??

Just stopped moving. Too still. I think or some kind of spider or scorpion or just a heart arrest

One of my Buff Orpingtons did that a few years back, but it was just because she was getting really old. How old was your hen??

Aww Maybe you’re right about her being bitten by something. Was she walking around really slow with her feathers ruffled a little?? We lost all but one of our first ever flock because they were all egg-bound. Are you giving them grit?? (Sorry I’m grilling you I just would hate for you to lose another chicken).
