I love their size and the fact that they don't fly over short fences.

Easter Eggers are one of my very favorite chickens. I've found them to be the healthiest chickens I've raised and they live a long time. They lay lots of large and jumbo eggs and continue to lay a decent amount when they're older. Because they are mixes you never know what color you are going to get or if they'll have beards or not or what color eggs they are going to lay which is exciting to me. You can usually easily tell individuals apart too. They are on the small side for a standard chicken so they probably don't eat as much as, say, a dual purpose breed, but their size and weight allow them to fly quite well which can be a problem if you're trying to keep them within a fenced area or catch them.

This stuff works to get rid of bird mites on chickens. It gets everywhere though, and I feel bad making my birds breathe it in. Good thing I don't have to use it often!

I've fed this feed to my laying hens for a while. The mini pellets are more appealing to my birds than normal pellets and are not as messy as crumbles. It's been fine for my younger hens but I've had an older hen with thin-shelled eggs and she's an egg eater. They also don't seem to want to eat it in the winter. It never smells very fresh and eventually starts smelling really weird and makes whatever else was in the container (galvanized trash can) smell the same way. I've thrown away a lot of this stuff because of that.
