    Ameracauna and?

    I bought this Pullet from a elderly Lady that lives near me, all she could remember is that it's, "some kind of Ameraucana", does anyone know what Breeds it might be? I'm assuming not just Ameraucana because it lays green Eggs?

    Pullet Breed?

    Hello! This is my 5½ week-old pullet Blondie. She has just developed feathers framing her face - I think it's called a beard?? From similar images, I think she may be an Olive Egger? Any breed guidance is greatly appreciated! 🙂

    My OE stopped laying

    I have an Olive egger hen named Lacey. She looks and acts healthy and alert, and led me in quite a chase when I decided to inspect her today. She lays a lovely olive and speckled egg that is very unique and noticeable, and I really enjoy getting them, but she hasn’t layed in about a week...

    Pullet or Cockerel? Blue Olive Egger

    Hello! I would love your guesses on whether my lovely Blue Olive Egger is a pullet or a roo. He or she is exactly 4 weeks old, most likely a Copper Maran and an Ameraucana mix. Purchased as a pullet from Ideal Poultry. Comb is very light pale pink, no signs of wattle at the moment. Thanks in...

    April Showers—Intro for the newest members of the flock

    I’ve been posting so many sad things on here lately that I felt the need to share something nice! Of course, it still comes with all the sad stories that led to it, but some of the April showers really did lead to flowers—or at least, the friendliest batch of chicks I’ve ever raised! It started...

    3 week old “olive egger pullet”

    bought this chick from TSC listed as a “olive egger pullet” from week one I’ve been thinking it’s a cockerel due to lack of tail feathers and size of comb. Chick is now three weeks old. Any guesses what breeds were crossed to make him? What about sex?

    Hen or Roo? 9 Week old Olive Eggers

    The rest of the gals I'm confident in, but these two are confounding me. My first batch I'm having to figure out! I'm worried that their feathers are starting to look so pointy around the neck? But they are my only two olives and they look so similar I can't tell if they are both roo's or if...

    Barred gene

    Hello peeps, I have a genetics question. I crossed a blue roo with my olive egger who is half cuckoo maran, therefore she has the barring gene and will give sexed off springs that are barred, only males will be barred. My question is, will all chicks have a dot on the top of the head or only...

    Why aren’t Whiting True Blues more popular?

    In reading various sources about creating green & olive colored egg layers I have noted that the WTB’s are mentioned far less frequently in comparison to the CCL. Am I right or is my perception skewed? And if I’m right, why? The WTB doesn’t seem as popular to own simply as a blue egg producer...

    Egg color?

    My hen that I hatched out last summer just laid this egg. She is a cross between my barnevelder hen and my Easter Egger rooster. Has anyone seen disoriented speckling like this? And will she continue to lay eggs like this? 🥰 love how cool it looks and am hoping it does.

    I'm planning to hatch chicks for sale for the first time soon.

    I've been around small scale chicken flocks my whole life. My grandma had chickens, my mom had chickens, and I've had a flock of around a dozen for the past 5 years. This year I'm upscaling and doing things differently. I currently have 5 roosters, 35 hens, and one pekin duck hen. I have...
