Since I have plenty more room for at least 3-4 more chooks, I'm on the hunt for a few new girls to expand my little feather family. I'm in the Florence-Richland area of Mississippi. I also plan to sell some eggs and help my community out because egg prices are going up.
Looking for the...
I know I won’t know until she lays but thought it might be fun to guess what this backyard mix may lay based on her traits.
I have NO idea what the parents are.
She has a really big comb and wattles at 16 weeks.
And her earlobes look white/bluish…
What do YOU think?
We have 2 chickens that I was convinced were both pullets but now that they are 19 weeks old, one has started to act a bit roosterish and the other one looks somewhat roosterish.😩 I already have 2 Roos that were meant to be hens (I’m deciding who has to go right now) but now I’m afraid Bellatrix...
I have another bird an Easter Egger that I wonder if it’s a pullet or cockerel - 12 weeks old, the tail is facing down a lot where my other pullet’s also an EE is facing more up … is this one a pullet as well ???
Okay so I’m a little bit worried
why aren’t my hybrid’s comb’s growing? They are 6 months old and I’m worried about it. Is there a problem? Maybe a disease? It’s probably because of them being crossbred but I’m not sure. (same chickens as my last post, Loona and clover) clover is growing some...
At the moment, we belive that we have 2 pure-bred light Sussex chooks (a rooster & a hen) but the other 2 concern us. We are fairly sure that They are a Sussex (not sure what specific type) cross with an Easter egger. Any thoughts?
they are both hens
(top is Clover and bottom is Loona)

Posted are various pics of 4 Easter Eggers that came from TSC about 8-10 weeks ago. I’ve spent hours combing through threads on sexing EE’s to realize that due to the variances of EE’s I’m nowhere even close to being able to guess the genders with any level of confidence. For those experienced...
Long story Short; we got six chicks at the feed store about 4 months ago (3 EE “pullets” and 3 RIR straight run) and we ended up with 5 roosters and one hen
We are down to two cockerels now. We plan to keep one but we are watching their behavior since we removed the other three cockerels. We...
Hello,
I am having cockerel/pullet concerns about two of my chicks. One of my Black Australorps (#1) is bigger than the other (#2) and has pinker wattles and comb. My Easter Egger(#3) which has crossbeak, seems to have the three row comb.
They are 7 weeks 2 days in these photos. I have my...
I bought 3 Easter Eggers. They have very different coloring. I would love to know what combination of breeds these two are. Anyone have any ideas? They are a little over 12 weeks old.
Ive got a black silkie, salmon faverolle, buff and lavender orpingtons, a sapphire gem and sapphire egger, a gold laced wyandotte, silver laced polish, a cinnamon queen, and an americauna.
Brand new to this chicken farm thing and have some 6-7 week old chicks. Hoping they are all pellets but could use some help! I’ve labeled and numbered each chicken. If you need more photos I can try and get more!!
