easter

Hi all, i have a pet white silkie and my girlfriend wants to dye her wingtips and tail for easter fun. My concern is that will make her much more visible to predators as she and my other chicken have free range of the back yard during the day. The only predators we have to worry about in our...

Hi y’all! I’m working on starting an olive/ Easter egger project. Would love to see photos of everyone’s blue or green layers and the crosses used create these wonderful birds!! Definitely most interested in trying to find a balance in variety of physical color as well as egg color.

I got 11 new chicks in from a hatchery; 5 Sultans, 2 Porcelain D'Uccles Bantams, 2 Marans, and 2 Easter eggers. Easter eggers can be tricky because they are a mix but I am hoping someone has had one like this before. Can anyone show me what it will look like when it is an adult? As you can...

I crossed my rescued farm brown shaver hens with my purebred lavender araucana rooster. I have hatched around 2 dozen eggs from this cross. All the chicks are black down with an orangey face. This is ehat I expected because lavender is recessive underneath lavender is black. However, I did get...

Hello, i was given an "Ameraucana" that is actually an Easter Egger, which I am fine with, he is an amazing looking rooster. However I am having a little difficulty identifying his parent's breeds. Obviously one was an Ameraucana. The other is???? A Cream Legbar perhaps? I saw several...

Hello! A gentleman in Lucasville, Ohio gave me an amazing looking rooster this evening. I finally have a rooster to look after my 5 hens. I have never raised any Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas before so I have no idea which this is. He said it was sold to him as an Ameraucana but it probably...

Hello all you backyard chicken people! My family and I live in the Olympia/Lacey Washington area. We inherited four chickens from a neighbor who liked the idea of raising chickens but soon realized it wasn't for them after all so we adopted them. We never thought we'd raise chickens but we...

The following are Easter Egger x Lavender Ameracauna crosses, 6 weeks old. I can’t seem to put my finger on these babies in terms of gender. I’ve already culled out the males from this breeding group. The males had bright red pea combs and hints of wattles starting. I’ll post some reference...

I’m pretty sure this 6 week old chick is a roo. I’ve noticed this little puff of feathers at the end of their tail that the other chicks don’t have. Does this have a name? Or a way to describe it?

Not exactly a recipe so feel free to move this thread somewhere else if needed. Do you decorate your eggs for Easter? Maybe you like to color them with food coloring and get the whole rainbow with your eggs? Maybe you boil your eggs in something to get fun colors? Maybe you don't color your...

I have 12 adorable Easter Egger chicks that are 3 days old ready for a new home. They are $3 a piece, let me know if you are interested.

I got this EE and I’m desperately trying to figure out if it’s a roo or hen! I can only have hens in my HOA. I know it’s still probably early, but maybe some of you experienced chicken owners can provide some insight into what I should be looking for? The comb got bright orange/red pretty...

Easter has been the best chicken and best friend to me since he hatched. He’s sweet, curious, and adventurous. But unfortunately, Easter badly fractured his knee and needs surgery. Yes, he is “just a chicken” but he is also the sweetest rooster you’ll ever meet. Today, Easter tried to get out...

Help I was suppose to be giving a rooster away to his new home to a new flock on Wednesday but found today that he has coccidiosis! ): obviously I don’t want the other persons flock to be sick to either way I would tell them to quarantine but should I just tell them I want to treat him first...

I hope you all have a great Easter! Spend time with your families and have fun. Thanks for all of you being the best, while I'm new to this website, I've gotten alot of advise and a big thank you to all !!! 🥳 🙂😃 I love how positive and helpful this community is! Happy Easter, from me and all my...

Got the cutest little egg today! Between it and my colorful ones I'm all set for Easter, no dyeing necessary! Anyone else have cute and/or colorful eggs to share?

She is a crowing hen so she needs to live where roosters are allowed. We live in SW FL. She is about 23 weeks old. We don't want to re home her but where we live we are not allowed to have roosters & to be kind to our neighbors & not attract a visit from the city we are. We have raised her from...

I like to dress up my Sniper girl a little bit for some holidays. Whether it be something as simple as a themed bandanna, or something a little more elaborate like so: Wasn't sure she'd even let me put her headpiece on, but she was surprisingly ok with it. She even started falling asleep...
