Easter Eggers are not a standardised and recognised chicken breed, but they are mixed crossbred X chickens created in barnyards by hobby farmers all around the world.
They carry the gene of the blue and green egg shell. This means that breed like rumpless araucanas, crested british araucanas...
Hi, I found my girl on the ground not moving this morning.
She’s now honking/sneezing, shuffling backwards, doesn’t want to eat or drink, she’s pooping, she’s with 17 others her age, not laying yet. I’m trying to attach videos, please excuse the narrating. I’m wondering if it’s respiratory...
Hi there, new to raising chicks. I have 3 araucana chicks who are 4 weeks old, and they're growing and feathering a lot slower compared to other 4 week old araucana chick photos I see online.
They seem healthy to me, however compared to my other chicks of the same age (I have 16 total), they...

Hi brains trust! I have 3 Araucana here. Just over 4 months old / 18 weeks. I keep getting told light grey is a pullet and dark grey is a cockerel but I think they're the opposite?
Have added in a photo of the 3rd white one too as everyone says that's a girl which I believe so too.
Of course...
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...

I want to start a new project next year where I would try to get the brahma or cochin look/body type, but with the tailless gene. Right now I have a brahma, cochin and silkie/brahma mix (all bantams) in with my silkies and if I get to expand my chicken area I might be able to separate my...
Hi all, I’m driving myself crazy trying to guess the sex of my chicks! I have 3 x 4.5 week old orpingtons and 1 x 3.5 week old Araucana. Can you tell if they are pullets or cockerels?
Howdy, all!
Has anyone here crossed a Rumpless Araucana roo with a Welsummer hen?
I am the very proud owner of Rumpless Araucana SR chicks and Welsummer pullets.
I will be keeping one of the Rumpless Roosters so I can have blue eggers and olive egger chicks down the road.
I would love to...
Hi all,
About 10 years ago, I raised 3 chicks for my mom. Yesterday, that flock is now down to just one chicken, and my mom is ready to move on from chicken ownership at this stage of her life. Is there anyone with a flock in Massachusetts who would like to take Martha, a 7-year-old black...

Hi, I am new to this group. I don't have any chickens right now as I live in the city, but my mother has a farm and she and I talk chickens a lot. I used to have Bantams along with Bard Rocs (not sure if the spelling is correct on that), but the Bantams had the most beautiful fearhers. I got...
Hi,
I am looking for new homes for a few extra Araucana roosters I have. I will not ship them so someone would need to be local to the Southern California area. I am in the North Tustin area. The roosters are all from Edd Sheppard's strain. I have one of his black hybrid Roman strain...
