easter eggers

This is Dunkin'. I thought she was a hen but now I'm thinking maybe she's a Roo!! Any ideas?

I have seven chickens, two of which are Easter Eggers. One of them, Tiger, seems to have stopped laying. She is only two years old as of this past May, but we haven't gotten two blue eggs in a day for about six months. Also, she didn't molt last fall and she is molting super lightly this year...

Hi fellow chicken people! I have six hens, purchased from my local feed store the end of February this year (2017). Two of each breed: Welsummers (Vera and Vergie), Salmon Faverolles (Fanny and Pluma), and Easter Eggers (Thelma and Louise). My two Welsummer girls, Vera and Vergie, were the...

I bought 6 chicks this past January. 3 road island red 2 easter eggers and a yellow bird(no clue what kind it is as one of my children stuck her in the box) They have just recently started laying! We are only getting 2 to 3 eggs a day and suspect that all 6 are now laying as the eggs are...

Hi there, I am new to keeping chicks, and my first week of experience has been extremely disheartening. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. tl;dr 2 out of 6 4-week-old chicks have died, 2 look like they're at death's door. Providing they survive, can I safely integrate the 2...

our chicks came today!! I think I've figured out who is who based on what I ordered. But the yellow one I think is my bonus chick. Is it a golden comet?

My Easter Egger started laying eggs a couple weeks ago. The first couple eggs were a bluish green, then later just green eggs. Which seemed normal, because she just started laying. And after laying quite a few green eggs over the last few weeks, she suddenly laid a blue egg yesterday, and today...

We have an average annual high of 71, average annual low of 47, and average annual precipitation of 54 inches of rain. It does hang out at nearly 90 for around three months straight and sits around freezing for two months. I am leaning towards an even mix of Rhode Island Reds, Easter Eggers, and...

Hi everyone, I have 4 chicks that were vent sexed as pullets and are 4 weeks old. I'm pretty confident that the buff Orpington and silver laced Wyandotte appear to be pullets, but I'm unsure about the 2 Easter eggers.... Behavior wise they are very fearful, flighty and spastic. The last time we...

I once read somewhere that as a male chick goes through "puberty" he can be mean to the hens, and that you should separate him from them during that period and bring him back after he's fully matured. Our easter egger chicks are 4 months old, 7 girls and a boy. I've noticed him being a bit rude...

Where to begin? I was originally think the black chicks were barred rock, but after looking a little closer, some have a redish brown tint to their faces which made me think black sex-link. However, even the ones who don't have this red coloring still have white on the top of their heads. Any...

15 week old Easter Egger cockerel is mostly black and white right now but has buff and red coming in. Also has a lovely pea comb. Edd is docile and easy to handle, but still keeps an eye out for his girls. I would keep him, but I really don't have enough hens. I am willing to travel to find him...

Hello everyone We purchased 10 ready to lay hens (black sexlinks x3, columbian rock x2, 1 wellsummer, 2 unknown brown hens, 1 barred rock AND 10 unsexed 8-10 week old chicks So I have been lurking on your site for about 1 month and very impressed. I've been stocking (haha) the easter eggers...

Hello! I'm a new chicken owner in SE Wisconsin (zone 5), and I've been trying to figure out what type of roof is best for the coop. I'm not sure if plywood or a corrugated material is best and if one is better than the other for ventilation? I am planning on adding several ventilation...

Hi all- I am new to backyard chickens but have been raising them on a farm setting for years. Last night, two out of three of my Americaunas died in the middle of the night and one looks like she's about to. I have 3 healthy RIRs that look great. Any ideas what happened?? We have been going...

So last August we bought five newborn hens: two Welsummers, and three Easter Eggers. (Plus two cursed roosters, but that's for another thread.) Since I rent with roommates who don't like chickens and my mom recently bought rural property forty five minutes away, it was always understood she...

About 10 Week old Easter Eggers, guess on Sex? Hoping for all girls, but hard to tell with these little guys! If I had to guess I would say the wheat/blue is girl, the more solid patterned is a girl, the reddish is showing more girl than boy, and the whiter one is showing more boy than girl, but...
