Hello! I'm new here but have seen a lot of helpful posts. I'm a first-time chick owner, and recently got a couple chicks from my local feed store. These two were sold as "Ameraucanas" but I'm assuming they are actually Easter Eggers? They are 2-3 weeks old right now, and I have suspicions that...

I noticed our hen was lethargic last night but put it down to me closing them in their coop later than normal. The other hens were already roosting but she was on the ground next to the waterer. She doesn’t always roost up high, she’s larger than our other hens and older. She’s about a year old...

This blue laced red wyandotte has just started crowing and has tiny spur buds.. approx 16-18 weeks. The two EEs are approx 14 weeks and are bonded, though probably just because they're the youngest in my flock. I wish someone would tell me the EEs were really pullets, but I am somewhat...

Hey guys, We have a gorgeous rooster that we can not keep due to our neighborhood policy. He is a 12 wk old EE splash rooster. We live in Marietta Georgia and we’re hoping someone would love to take care of him since we no longer can. I have pictures attached that were taken when he was 11 wks...

I’m curious for all you chick-sperts if you may know what this little lady is mixed with. I know Easter eggers are mutts but this is my only Easter egger with a head shaped like a pigeon lol

You hey everyone! I have a chicken that I got from rural king last June. She was labeled as a black australorp but I know that not to be true bc she lays light blue eggs. I’m not sure but I had a friend tell me she thinks she’s an Easter egger. She said she has Easter Eggers without the fluffy...

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...

Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...

This guy was sold to me as a day old Easter Egger chick. His comb is WAY bigger than all the other EE's that came with him. Can you tell me if he may not be an EE, and if so, what breed he may be? His legs are yellow which makes me think he is not EE. Side note: I know EE is not a breed and...

Got these Easter Egger baby’s and me and the breeder tried to make sure we did our research on sexing the chicks by wings/feathers. Well we both second guessed ourselves in the process and did the best we could. I came home with 10 chicks. Hoping to have all hens. In this picture I have two...

What exactly is the difference between an Easter Egger and Olive Egger when it comes to breeding and genetics? Both need a blue egg and I see you cross a lighter brown egg for an Easter egger but that still gives green right? So I'm confused what the difference is. Where does pink eggs come...

Some eggs from my almost eight year old blind Easter Egger named Blink

Hi there everyone, I have a question about one of my Easter Eggers. I have become quite attatched to her and am now starting to suspect she might be a he. Her tail feathers are not very uniform and are arching. She’s always been the biggest chicken out of the bunch, but we though she was just...

Hi everyone! First time chicken owner here. I currently have 5 hens who are just starting to lay. I know that 2 are for sure laying. But possibly 3???? My first laying hen (cooper maran) was laying medium brown eggs. Cool. Then I got my first blue egg from my Easter egger. AWESOME! But today, I...

Hello! I got four chicks back in April that are about 15/16 weeks old now. I asked for hens and I think ALL FOUR might be roosters. What do you all think?

Hello, any help is appreciated, I have this beautiful Easter Egger and I would like to know if it’s a pullet or cockerel ? Only 6 weeks old and I know it’s tricky with Easter Eggers to determine the gender, but maybe someone have similar in colors and can help ???

My mom picked up these little fluff-butts about a week ago, and she thought she was getting Golden Comets (obviously they were mislabeled at TSC). I’m leaning towards Cinnamon Queens because I have a couple but these chicks have fluffier cheeks/lighter coloring than mine did. We also aren’t sure...

Hello everyone ! So my girl Sven has something weird going on. I’m suspecting it’s an infection somewhere in the laying process … other than the eggs she is completely fine - no breathing, inflammation, Bumblefoot or anything else on the outside. She’s eating and drinking as normal. She also...
