I got several pullet chicks from our local tractor supply, 2 of which were Easter eggers. I’m convinced the 2nd is a roo, but now I’m not sure they are Easter eggers. Our previous Easter eggers had the chipmunk cheeks and different coloring. Could this be a speckled Sussex? Maybe I need some...

One of my hens used to be black with a green sheen to it, now she is mostly brown. Is this normal for end of summer and being outside or a sign of sickness? None of my other birds have this.

I posted about 5 weeks ago about my LOs. They are now about 14-16 weeks old. They are much larger than the rest of my flock. Any ideas? Hens vs Roos? They look identical in terms of feather shape, but one is a little lighter than the other.

I live in Northern California. We get pesky field roaches where I live. They usually die or get stuck on their backs and we feed them to our chickens. They love it! However, it seems like there are more and more inside the house now that it’s getting hotter outside. My husband would like to...

I have 2 Easter egger chicks about 4 weeks old. My first time with this breed. Any idea if they are hens or Roos (I know it’s early)? They both have different neck feathers that I haven’t seen before with my other breeds. And they have the dark brown/red patches, so I’m hoping they’re not...

Everyone has been all wonderful on this site! Can’t thank you all enough. So far, all the chickens in my flock have turned out to be hens, however, I still have this silkie who isn’t laying eggs yet… birthday was April 2022. It’s a bit of an outcast with the rest of the ladies. I’m wondering...

Hi! The Easter bunny brought my kids one of each of the 6 breeds of chickens from Tractor Supply for Easter this spring. It’s been fun, but one (or more) of them have started crowing periodically in the mornings. Of the 6 chicks I have, these are my top 3 contenders for roosters. Thoughts?
