    10 month old EE

    I hope so! She’s so pretty! Really flighty though.

    New egg from noir Marans from mt healthy

    My other lays a slightly lighter shade, but speckled. I love their eggs and they are great layers.

    Do eggs change color over time?

    How did this work out for you? Did they get darker? My noir marans are my favorite hens.

    EE pattern at 3 weeks?

    Here she is at 10 1/2 months- not laying yet

    10 month old EE

    I really thought this was a hen, and still kind of do, but I don’t think she’s laying yet and I thought I may have heard a crow the other day? But it wasn’t clear. Haven’t seen any mounting or other behavior that says rooster. There’s also a slight chance she is laying and it’s just the same...

    New egg from noir Marans from mt healthy

    I got 2 Noir Marans from Mt Healthy at the Ed of April and I got my first pullet egg! They’re a hybrid of a cuckoo Marans and BCM, so I was worried about egg color, but it’s so dark! Lavender Orpington and Easter Egger egg next to it for comparison.

    Need help sexing!

    I’m not expert, but I think you’re correct with Blondie. I think bellatrix is a pullet. Meredith is a real head scratcher. That rust right over the shoulders look boyish, but her comb isn’t that developed and she is golden all over. Olivia is confusing, too. My one EE cockerel was super obvious...

    7 week olds transition to flock

    Interesting info! Thank you. I do think I may have to sell 2 for them to fit in my coop and this was the plan all along. If I kept all 4 new pullets it would be a bit over 3 feet per hen in the coop, but plenty of run space. They’re docile breeds, but I’m prepared to let go of 1 or 2. I’m more...

    7 week olds transition to flock

    I was really worried how this would go, it’s my first time introducing pullets to hens. My first flock of 4 is a year old, and my second 4, 7 weeks. I started just letting them free range occasionally at about 5 weeks old. The hen I was worried about mostly ignored them, but was curious. My...

    EE pattern at 3 weeks?

    Thought I’d update, for anyone curious to watch her growth. Her cute little cheek feathers are coming in white this week. Very pleasantly surprised by her coloring. I really thought from her first wing feathers that she’d be mostly black and maybe a little white. Teaches me to jump to...

    First time broody?

    She got kicked out of being broody just by tossing her out of the nest box a few times a day, but then my red Orpington went broody and it took 5 days to break her. Finally had to lock her out of the coop on a cold, rainy day. She had shelter and she’s very big and feathered. She could still see...

    First time broody?

    So, my 11 month old lavender Orpington was concerning me because she was laying soft shelled eggs. I then haven’t gotten another egg from her in over a week. She goes in the nesting box, but doesn’t seem to stay there longer than her sisters. I tried to move her yesterday and she screeched at...

    Need help sexing!

    If I’m honest, that’s how my surprise cockeral started at 3 weeks. However, I also read that in black and white ones, it’s white that starts on the shoulder, and that happened to me this year, but she ended up evening out her pattern by 5 weeks. So it could go either way. That is awfully wide...

    Is my coop too small?

    Curious how your two story coop is going, we are thinking of expanding our coop, but can only really build down.

    EE pattern at 3 weeks?

    I’m feeling more confident that she’s likely a pullet, her pattern is evening out a lot this week. She’s so pretty. Almost 5 weeks. Do tell me if you think I’m missing something.

    Gender? 9wk old EEs/ Americanas TS

    Someone at the time said she might be a Wyondotte mix, and they pink up early.

    Chicks and personality

    I really think that’s special and unusual at that age. I’m not sure you’d be able to repeat it.

    Gender? 9wk old EEs/ Americanas TS

    I had an Easter egger this color and she got red early-at 6 weeks, but was a she, and lays a pretty sage green egg.

    Chicks and personality

    None of mine were overly friendly as chicks, I have 3 Orpingtons, 3 Easter eggers, and 2 Marans. My first group was Orpingtons and Easter eggers, and I don’t think they liked me until they were laying. Now they follow me everywhere and will let me pick them up, besides the Easter egger- but...

    My new chicks are finally here, with a bit of mystery.

    What did she end up being? I think she’s a jersey giant, from the pics
