Easter egger

[Marciob]

You have a handsome guy...will you be keeping him?

I’d like too. But not sure yet. We have 7 birds and I really wanted an Easter egger. This is my only one.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Unless the eggs are incubated, there will be no chicks. Just collect eggs daily.

Is this Easter egger a hen or rooster? She’s started making rooster sounds at 27 weeks. She’s the one on the left. View attachment 3267205

Welcome to BYC!! Cockerel!

Hello again.

So now my question is, do you keep roosters with your flocks?

I have 2 roosters and 2 cockerels currently. The little boys will be hitting the road in the next couple of months though.

I’ve heard there’s a risk having feralized eggs.

Yep. He'll work very hard at this.

And when/how do introduce new babies into flocks?

You will be able to hatch eggs under a broody hen in the future if you want but you will need to have a plan for the boys and enough space for the girls if you decide to keep them.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
