It was very informative. Ive learned everything I know about chickens from the people on this website. I just bought my first chickens ever in April and I absolutely love them. I bought 6 and 3 were roos and i didnt want any roos.. I kept all of them up until the 3 roos started attacking my 3 year old so they have all since gone to rooster heaven.

I loved them but couldnt have them drawing blood from my daughter. Anyways, I just got my first egg yesterday and boy was that a thrill!!!!!! It was the prettiest green!! Im going to shake it blow it out and keep it forever!!!!

(Weird I know.

)

Anyways I truely love this website and have become completely addicted since joining

The people here are truely amazing and polite! So yes the information you shared truely was great! So when the others start to lay I will know who lays which eggs

That is really good to know seeing has how the other two havent laid their first eggs yet and Im wanting to keep all three of their first eggs

(Even weirder I know lol ) I just cant resist

First chickens and their first eggs

Its going to be a tradition from now on I demand it!!

Blowing eggs and keeping them is not weird. Lots of people do that to keep track of color and changes. Kinda wish I had done that... but I am not a big fan of scrambled eggs

You need to add a few more smilies!!!!

Well got two eggs today!!! Olive Green and Pink

Im so proud of my beautiful babies. I have 3 hens so 2 out of 3 is good enough for me

 

[moodlymoo]

Ok...I am still praying at least one of these are pullets but am thinking no luck. Please tell me at least one is a pullet

Chick 1 who is about 10wks old now

Chick 2 who is about 8wks now. It still has hardly any tail feathers

 

[Mother_Hen2011]

I want to say chick one looks like he/she might have some saddle feathers..(I could be wrong Im no chicken expert

) And the second one kind looks like a she to me... But again Im not 100% sure so hopefully some one else can help you more

I have EE from MM. 2 colors: cream: a salft white with v. lt buff like a cream in the hackles are. Others an orangy bird with dk br flecks, columbian around neck. Nice girls, lay med-lg eggs in blues and greens. No pinks in this bunch.

Sorry about descriptions; still learning the colors and jargon.

Each girl will lay a unique color and you will get to where you know who laid what egg. EE are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get inside.... till she lays. EE can lay any color egg, thus the name. Most lay Blue-Green eggs, but some lay brown. Any color egg is ok with EE. The pea comb USUALLY means a blue egg gene, but it will not tell you if that egg will have a brown coating too.

I still cannot tell him from her--I look at the feathers. Very difficult . So I wait until my boys tell a rooster has been doing the rooster thing. Basic, but works for me.

There are a few ways to almost determine sex. If birds have pea combs the females has two rows of bumps and the males has three rows. If you can not tell what your bird has use a magnifying tool to see it better.
