    Easter Egger

    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...

    Longterm Crossbreeding Project of Brahma, Polish, Silkie, Ayam Cemani, Araucana and Malay

    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...

    Do Austrolorps/Amaracaunas usually have poopy butts?

    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?

    Help identify these pullets please

    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...

    Breed and sex help please!

    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...

    Help me to pair birds for breeding!

    As an update: as of June 2025 my flock has had some changes and I only have two lavender silkie boys right now. So this thread isnt very relevant anymore, however I do plan on hatching eggs from some of these girls when their eggs are fertilized by the lavender boys. ******* Okay who would...

    Let's play Roo or Hen

    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...

    Fibro frizzle gender?

    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...

    Homeschool Hatch-Along (2/23 hatch)

    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'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...

    Red Spot on Chicken Foot — Not limping

    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...

    Canker Treatment: Metronidazole 20% powder and Tube Feeding with Kaytee Exact. Am I doing this right?

    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...

    Russian Orloff Mixes!

    So my Russian Orloff rooster mixed with 3 of my chickens and my broody silkie/Easter egger mix hatched them in the spring. They turned out so pretty! Haven’t seen a lot of Orloff mixes posted here so thought I’d share some pics. Ended up with a Delaware / Orloff who is huge, Copper Maran /...

    What is this under my chicken's tongue?

    Lately one of my EEs has been sneezing with her whole body kind of like a small dog would and I also noticed that she tends to drop food when trying to eat. So I opened her mouth after noticing some brown drool and her neck all wet and I find this stuff under her tongue. Me being an idiot, I...
