    Wow! Easter Eggers are gorgeous! And agreeable to let you handle them like this. You are a pro and I can tell how much you truly love your chickens. This breed is for sure in my top 3. Thanks for showing them all!

    Easter eggers, despite being muts and not a purebred, are one of my favorites! Calm, confident, good layers, and can be broody too

    I'm going to pick up 12 Easter Egger eggs tomorrow to incubate and I'm so dang excited! Thank you for sharing so much about them, you're one of the reasons I decided to get so many, so I'll be the chicken momma of Easter Eggers in 21 days, along with Black Copper Marans eggs in 2 days. I just hatched 8 Ayam Cemani eggs last week and my 15 silkies are now 6 weeks old. I've got Lavender Orpington, Black Australorps and 18 Polish(3 different colors) coming next month. Chicken math done hit me so hard...lol. Thank you for all the info you share. It's taught me so much!

    We just got chickens (pullets) about a month ago for the first time ever. We got six mutts, (Plymouth rock, Rhode Island Red, and some game hen mixes). Today, we got 11 Easter egger babies (we will only keep six) and I’m so fascinated by how much their coloring changes. Can’t wait to see what our little guys look like when they grow up! Thankfully, three of the extras will be going to my brother’s neighbor, so we’ll get to see what they look like when they grow up as well. ❤️
    ETA: Holy crap Quick is gorgeous. She’s my fav!

    Hi. I have predicament. I live in the burbs and I am waiting to get 4-6 Easter egger chickens when I retire next year. We are NOT ALLOWED to have roosters here. I want to get them as babies. Is there a way I can insure that none are boys? I am terrified. I am a vegetarian and I can’t imagine giving one up somewhere after they are half grown, not knowing his fate. Do you have any suggestions for me??

    • @lifegrip
      @lifegrip 2 роки тому

      There’s no way guarantee all the Easter Eggers you order will be all female. I think when they determine the sex as chicks it’s about 90% accuracy. The only way to guarantee all females is to buy sex-link chickens (which aren’t Easter Eggers) which females and males will look different when hatched.

    How long have you owned or been raising chickens and how many breeds have you had? I've had them off and on since I was a little kid when my younger brother and I purchased our first pair of hens from a yard sale at a church our mother stopped at for .50 each. They were both black so I think they were both sex links.

      Hi there! Chrissy had sour crop (which quickly turned pendulous) from almost the day we received her. We tried everything -- crop bras, special diet, vomiting -- it was manageable until winter hit, and she took a turn for the worse. She became very skinny and started to have trouble even walking. It was a very difficult decision, and we still miss her. These were mail order from TSC, and all the others have thrived, so I still recommend them!
