She is on Kalmbach all flock. Give them table scraps and mealworms occasionally. I had poultry cell in the water as well. She can situate herself with her legs, but she won’t stand at all. She just keeps them tucked close

4-5 months!

Nope! Not crowing yet. That’s why I was a little hesitant, but this thread has confirmed my suspicion! Easter eggers can be a little tricky, so I was holding out hope! But those saddle feathers really got me wondering

5 month old Easter egger. Sold to me as a pullet. What do we think?

I did know about that one!! He’s already crowing!! Lol 🤣
