Sigh...Groucho reminds me of the roo I had..so handsome!

AFM...drumroll please.........................................


Curry lays a light olive-colored egg!



Found it in the coop this evening. Does this make her an olive egger, or do olive eggers have darker eggs?

Looks more like pastel green on my monitor.

It may be the lighting. That wallpaper is actually cream colored, LOL. It is a light olive in real life, not a mint.

The darker ones are what I'd consider olive coloured. My green eggs are like the light coloured one. Not my picture.

Oh ok. It is much more like the green one then, not the olive. But a light olive, not as blue as a mint which is what I picture when I picture a light green. I'm just so thrilled it is colored though!

Groucho has thick eyebrows. Must be a boy lol

No I know it's a boy based on many other signs. Check out the red in the wings. Yep. Knew he was a boy at 4 weeks for sure, and had a good idea at 2 weeks.

He's now 11 weeks old, and will be my choice rooster for 2014's breeding season.

boy, my roos comb is twice that size and he just turned 12 weeks, but it has been red for a long time!

Here is one of his brothers at the same age. Still not a huge comb, but red.

Hello, I have 2 chickens that were sold as Ameraucanas, but based on what I've read are actually Easter Eggers.
They are both very pretty birds (or should I say handsome), as I fear they may both be cockerels.
They are 8 weeks old in the pictures below.
Bob is the mostly white one, Callie is the mostly brown. Bob was supposed to be an ironic name.

Any thoughts from the experts out there on the gender of these fine looking specimens?
