Easter Eggers! Perfect small backyard flock. Two pullets & one cockerel. 13-14 weeks old, the cockerel has not yet started to crow. All images were taken on August 6.
These chicks have been broody-raised and free range all day. They have eaten scratch & peck organic feeds since we got them and I have made a point to be friendly with them (as I am with the broody hens that raised them) enough that I can hand feed them, but not enough that they will hop on my lap or anything However, if they are calm, especially towards bedtime, they may roost on my hand for a time.
They currently live in a coop with other chicks a bit younger and three older hens and roost on their own.
My only request is that Brownie the cockerel does not end up in freezer camp. He is a very special bird and I've made a promise to my son to find him a good home.
Brownie the cockerel is very friendly and will be the first to get treats from your hand. He's also very protective of his girls.
The next two photos are the first pullet. Adorable fuzzy face!
The next two photos are the second pullet. She's had a few baths and may need a bit of extra care until her tail feathers sort themselves. Because of the baths she has also become very accustomed to handling. On first look she appears just white & tan color, but she also has a bit of grey/blue color on her face.
NO SHIPPING - Local pickup only. I live in the Seattle area but would be willing to meet someone within a couple hours drive.
Thank you for looking! dawn
Please note the black pullet is not part of the trio - she snuck in the photo!
