I have the exact same situation happening with my two EE chicks! Here are my optimistc thoughts. 1. EE's are like mutts right? So the chicks have different genes at play and might grow and feather in differently. 2. If you're right about these signs, at least the other one isn't showing them

I saw a post about someone looking for Easter Eggers around Vancouver, WA so I thought I would pass this along. They have 4- 3 wk olds at Pioneer Feed just off I-5. Of course they are being advertised as "ameraucanas" but they are the chipmunk looking EE variety. They also had a lot of other day...

Thanks tiki244, I guess its only a few weeks of waiting. With a small urban flock that obviously has to be kept cock-a-doodle free I was thinking maybe the feedstore would trade me for another chick before its official.

Well here I go. I wasn't going to get all paranoid about roosters this time. Yeah right. So I have 2 one week old EE's and one of them is getting thick legs, angular body, long neck. Likes to the do the whole prance around and spar move. The first four or five primary wing feathers or flight...

Yay, I love EEs too! Lovely chickens everyone! I just picked up a few from the feedstore and I am SO excited to see how they feather out. I'm hoping the reddish one will keep her little white muff and I'm totally digging the silver tones on the other. Here they are:

Do not misunderstand me. There is nothing wrong with an EE. EE's are fine chickens. They just are not Ameraucanas. SusanJoM- I really appreciate your tone in explaining EE's verses true Ameraucanas. I've been looking through a lot of posts lately about EE's and there are alot of harsh...

I was wondering the same thing. I went ahead and picked up a few more chicks from the feed store on Monday. From the info I've come across, pullets might take a little longer to start laying- like next spring. But I don't know if they'll need a heat lamp this winter. Any additional care summer...

Hi! I just got some SLW and EEs at Burns Feed Store east of Gresham, OR. Their phone number is 503 663-3246 They'll be getting them in throughout August but they do go fast so you might want to find out exactly when they are getting what in.

hey bulldog girl! I'm the previous owner of the RIR in question. She never displayed this behavior previously even with five or six eggs in the nest box all day. I had pine shavings in the nestbox and she did get oyster shell supplement/ org. layer crumble. I'm guessing that this is due to...

Looking to buy Speckled Sussex pullet or very young hen or I could trade one of my delaware chicks (5 weeks old) for a Sussex chick. Thank you!

Thank you, they have found a new home.

Hello Chicken-Lovers, I have a Rhode Island Red and a Red Sex-Link. 1 Year old healthy hens in their prime. Fed Organic layer crumble and accustomed to urban coop and run. Must go together and to good home (coop/ protected area ALREADY set up) $40 for the pair. Send me a message on BYC. Thanks!

I just saw someone with frizzles advertising on Portland craigslist. Check it out

She is my only bantam and she is often broody. I'm looking to rehome her to a flock with other bantams. Thank you. Found her a new home with a small flock of banties with plenty of space to strut her stuff. Thanks for looking.

The hen is just over 1 year and I thought she was laying normally. I have been watching the eggs I'm getting from the others now to try to figure out which were hers. If I'm right, she wasn't laying as well as she should of been for her breed. I went to Coastal and they gave me terramycin (sp?)...
