I have a 10 week old EE pullet bought from TSC. Amongst a flock of EE, orpingtons and australorp.
Went to let her out and she would not stand. Do I picked her up and she was limp. I checked her butt and had a nugget of poop stuck to feathers about an inch from her vent. Otherwise vent looked...
Hi! Selling our mixed breed backyard chicks. The boys are hoping for $5 each, but I’m open to offers. :)
Mixed breeds, good egg layers, not show quality. Our roos are a Cochin, langshan, and Japanese bantam. Our hens are RIR, Black ameracauna, Plymouth Rock, Easter egger, Delaware, and...
Hi everyone! We got this Easter egger from a local feed store and it was supposed to be a hen, but my husband and I are convinced it is most definitely a rooster based on its comb. Can you help?
Hi everyone! Sorry if I am not posting in the right thread, I tried to find one more suited to my question but this was as close as I could find. Anyway, I have a cuckoo lemon orpington & leghorn mix rooster. I have a rhode island red, Plymouth barred rock, easter egger, Golden Laced Wyandotte...
Hey all!
Yesterday I let my hens out, and I decided to pick up one of our old girls and hold her for a bit. She’s a 10-year old Easter Egger named Camilla. She relaxed way easier than she usually does. She hasn’t enjoyed being held since she was 4 or 5. Then I noticed all of her feathers...
I’ve got 15 chicks, black copper Marans and olive/Easter eggers. Some of them are pretty obvious who’s who’ve but the others are more difficult. Help! The marans are 5 weeks and the eggers are 6.
I've got 20 chicks, black copper marans, easter eggers, and silkies. The silkies are 7 weeks old, the easter eggers are 6 weeks, and the marans are 5 weeks. When and how do I sex them? Is there a way to do so before the roos start to crow? I can send pictures of each individual chick if need be...
I know it’s really early but I’m wondering if anyone can help me figure out the sex of my four chicks, the bigger they get the more I think I have 3 cockerels and one pullet. Help!
My beautiful easter egger rooster, "truffles" about 4 months old, needs a good home. I can only keep hens and thought he was one but he is quite obviously a rooster now. He's sweet and gorgeous and friendly but I'm just not allowed to keep him. Would like to find him a good home.
My Easter Egger hen just laid her fist egg yesterday. She was acting completely normal scratching around the yard with the other hens. Today, however, when I went out to feed them, she was sitting in the far corner of the coop all by herself. She didn't respond at all to the food and I had the...
Hi everyone? Today I gathered my eggs and noticed I had one olive colored egg / mocha colored. I own three barred rocks that lay beautiful pink light brown eggs, 2 Amerucana , 1 bcm and 1 olive egger. Could this egg be from my Amerucana hen? Until today I was receiving one blue egg everyday...
hi,
I’m such a short time, it’s been a journey. We are first time chicken owners.
We started out 7 weeks ago with a brooder box of 5 chicks, 3 days old. 2 were roosters, so I traded for 2 chicks that are a week or so younger than mine. I’m not happy with the type they are, unknown breed, I was...
My sister is a K/1 teacher, and every year she does a life science unit that includes hatching chicks. She rents an incubator, and buys eggs brought into the county extension office by 4H members. The eggs are never labeled, so it is always a guessing game to try to figure out what she hatched...
This is Felicity, a 9wk old Easter Egger/Americana with no muffs. S/he does have roundish feathers and a pale comb but are those saddle feathers.... eek.
I believe s/he is a pullet, but not sure and would like someone to verify.
Thank you so much!
I am looking for chickens(1-3) of the breeds silkies, easter eggers, americanas, or araucanas. Age doesn't matter, but they have to be female as we can not have roosters as much as we would like to
I am located in Western Mass and am willing to drive a reasonable distance.
Thanks!
I purchased two "roosters" from a 10 year old girl who was trying to earn some money for summer vacation. They are NPIP Easter Eggers. Beautiful birds. When I got said birds home I began to notice some very distinct difference between the two.
The first bird is smaller and has virtually no...
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...
