These are Atwoods chicks from a mixed pullets bin. They are five to six weeks old on this picture. I wonder if this is an Easter Egger? I split a six-pack with a friend.
I was told when I purchased 6 chicks on 3/13 that 2 were EE, 2 Bielefelder and 2 Blue copper Marans.
The BCM are easy to Id. And I’m pretty sure they gave me Olive eggers rather than EEs.
But then again I’m not sure if the brown ones are Bieles or EEs, especially the one with Mohawk.
Any...
Hello all! I have three birds that were born probably about March 12th ish, so they're about 6 weeks old now. They were sold as Americaunas, but as I bought them from a store for about $8 each I assumed they were Easter Eggers.
However, now i have some questions. The two I'm sure are pullets...
Hello,
My sweet Easter egger has 3 white spots on her waddle. They’ve been there for a month or so. She seems healthy otherwise but something to mention, a few months ago she had some really watery poops. I’ve not seen them in an about a month though. Does anyone have anything thoughts what...
So my almost 2 year old chicken has been acting odd past couple of days. I don't want to panic but just want an opinion. She had bumble foot and a dirty butt so we cleaned her butt and took care of her foot that was kinda when this all started. She is slow, tired a lot, drinking A LOT of water...
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...
So this project has been in the works since October 2024 when I acquired an Ayam Cemani rooster. I thought it would be very fun and interesting to breed him to completely other purebred types of chicken. So I tried to think of representatives for different genetics or groups of chicken. These...
We have two Easter egger hens (mix of amaurcana, australorp, and possibly buff orpington) with a lot of fecal matter below their vent (not on). I think their feathers are catching it. Is this normal or something to worry about? Should I trim their butt feathers?
I have received a package of 10 chicks this morning. This is a "Hoover's Hatchery Live Rare Standard Package Chickens" order that was placed through TSC. There seems to be two breeds included. This is my first go at having chickens, so I wanted to get an expert's opinion on the matter or at...
Hello again all!
My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...
Okay who would like to play a pairing game?? This is totally for fun! I have a good idea of who I would like to pair, but would love to hear your thoughts. Here are my 11 current laying girls. Who would you pair each one with?
My goal is to be breeding a “silkied Easter egger” which means I am...
I just discovered my favorite little Easter egger is a FRIZZLE! I didn’t even know EEs could be frizzly til this week. Show me your frizzles, I’m so excited to watch her grow!!
Hello Fellow Chicken Fanciers!
We recently adopted these little beauties as day old chicks (24/12/24). All 3 were said to be Buff Orpingtons but apparently sellers Hen was visiting the neighbours Rooster, I'm guessing he was an Aracuna, Easter Egger or Americana with those fluffy cheeks. One is...
Hey all. I just got 2 frizzle fibro Easter Eggers and I'm wondering how to sex them.
The farm we got them from say "First generation should get their fibro from their dad given to female offspring only" so they think they are female and didn't sex them.
Is that true? We have always had...
Hello everyone! We are a homeschooling family that adopted 4 chickens (2 buffs, 1 sex link, 1 rhode island red) about a year ago. Things didn’t go very well with those 4 hens - one died from mites we thought we had taken care of, the red was re-homed because she was bullying the other smaller...
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...
Should this be a warning sign to something? I have a 4 year old Easter Egger that has these red spots on the bottom of a couple of her toes. Is this the beginning of bumblefoot or something else? Should I treat it or leave it and see if it works itself out?
About 5 months ago we had to put...
My previous post. To preface, I'm not trained, this is the first time I'm dealing with this situation, and there are no vets near me and/or willing to help.
I have a single EE in isolation since New Years for canker and started treating her 01/05/25 as soon as I got the Metronidazole powder...
