We got a few Easter egger pullets from TS about 3 weeks ago, and normally I would say that’s way too early to sex a chick but what do you guys think? This one’s comb and waddles are very bright, and it’s comb is pretty wide though very flat.
Hello everyone! Hope your day is going good.
This is my first time raising chickens. And I need some help in identifying one of my Easter Eggers. Would anyone be able to take a look at my majestically bearded chicken and tell me what gender they think he/she is?
I live in the city so I can't...
Hello,
I live in Northern Utah near Ogden but was raised in Salem, Utah. My family lives out in the Lake Shore and Benjamin areas of Utah on farms but they are not the kind to help answer questions as they feel you need to learn from your mistakes.
I am new to raising chickens and geese. My...
Alright. I suspect I know the answer. And while I know this "suspected roo" is just attacking those not "in his flock", I'm not sure if he'll outgrow it. ??
We have 3 - 6week old boys, hatched ourselves(easter eggers. Blue Wheaten Ameraucana is sire from local breeder), and obviously they play...
Hi ya’ll!! there’s not too much out there on Lavender EE’s! I was sold this baby as a sexed female from a reputable hatchery, and am not sure if I should be worried at this comb…she’s just a hair over 4 weeks old. What do you think? Noodle <3 I’d be heartbroken to have to part with her as...
Soooo, please tell me no.
My Easter Egger… might be my 3rd roo?? This is 12 weeks old EllieMae. No boy sounds, comb looks pink to me and scrawny legs - but I’m getting a vibe from feathers. And she repeatedly has been bossing around my barnevelder boy. So far 2/5 from my supposed to be female...
I guess this would fall under behavior? How many of you have hens that have grown spurs? My Easter Egger girl is a year old, very docile, friendly girl and lays green eggs…many of them soft shell. She’s been growing some big spurs compared to the rest of her siblings.
Weird question that probably is really dumb -
I have this chick that is now around six weeks old that I thought was a pulley the whole time, but now I’m second guessing myself.
It struts like a rooster constantly, is definitely “in charge” of the other pullets, is a bit aggressive towards me...
Have a little Americana (Easter Egger, not Amerucana) that has the cutest little green legs/feet!!! 🥰
What kind of chicken would give her green legs?
Just curious, obviously she's a mix from Hoovers, but I'm just curious!
Thanks!
I am at a loss on how to proceed. Here are the pertinent facts:
Nearly one year old EE hen. Normal laying other than reduced frequency compared to all my other hens. Maybe 2-3 eggs per week.
Monday had what seemed to be a bound egg - then laid the egg. Egg was normal.
Rebounded for an...
Adventures in Easter Eggers. Five are from a local breeder who have a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana as their sire (she breeds Blue Wheaten) and the other four are Americana(Easter Eggers from TSC/Hoover's)
This is just to track their cuteness!!! 😍 Because I have to share!
Hatch: March 15
Yes, Americana, as in Easter Egger, from Hoover's, but what might she be mixed with? Or what her color is called?
I know on their site they say a blend of Amerucana and Arucana ?
Thanks for any suggestions.
4 weeks old
My parents surprised me last week with six Ayam Cemani eggs. I put them in the incubator last week, and I candles them on Friday. One was not fertile. I’m down to five eggs. I also put two of my Easter Egger’s, Bolt, eggs in. They are fertile so far. I am going to candle them in Thursday or...
hello all,
I was out in the coop this morning taking care of the chicks, and my easter egger, Loaf, was acting weird. she would respond normally to being pet (Trying to hide under other chickens), but I noticed her voice was EXTREMELY off. Normally, she is very loud and vocal, but this morning...
We finally found Buff Brahmas at our local TSC(Hoover's) and got four "premium pullets" (yes yes there's a reason it's in quotes lol)
We brought them home March 2nd (with an Easter Egger)
They are housed with four rowdy olive eggers who are a week older lol I swear they think they are song...
My rooster Andy is a big sweetheart. He was 'not to often' with his ladies when it came to topping them. There were no injuries or feather issues. Well, then I had to move back in with my dad. He has a pen with a rooster and hens, and then a separate but connected pen for a pair of game chickens...
These girls were sold to me as brown red Ameraucanas but they obviously aren’t. 2/5 have beards and muffs, one is an obviously lighter colour than the rest. Any ideas? They definitely have lots of Americauna in thrm and her whole flock lays blue eggs but some looked suspiciously green to me as...
So I purchased a dozen lavender orpington eggs last year from a local lady to add a new bloodline to my stock. When I hatched them I did not get lavender orpingtons, lol, I got these beauties instead!
I know they are lavender and ameraucana or easter eggers (I would call them EE just to be sure)...
We got more chicks! Yay! But in the process I've been grounded from getting more. Lol. Actually I've been told I'm not allowed to go to TSC anymore lol
We have 6 egger eggs(one did) under a broody and 9 chicks inside plus our 23 outside. (One is a rooster that needs a new home lol from our...
