Thanks for the advice! I love your pretty hen!! Penny had been laying almost every day and they are getting bigger, too. Today's was 53 grams and the earlier ones were 46-7. My Australorp laid that little brown egg today - her first!! I bought live meal worms for my layers. Penny thinks she...

Thank you all for the congrats on first egg! My EE is the smartest of my mixed flock and loves all the attention she has been getting since POL.

First egg!!! Here is the proud pullet, Penny: She is 26 weeks and was at Point Of Lay a little over a week.

It certainly does look like a hawk. What is it? My EE likes to sit on my shoulder and look like a hawk, too. Or is it looking for them? She is fascinated by the sky and is always trying to get the 5'6"-ish viewpoint.

So sorry to hear about Honey! And all the other losses. Yay for the new eggs! This thread really moves along. I so wish I could have a rooster - there are some gorgeous EE roos posted. Still waiting for my Penny to lay. Her face is getting so red but won't squat yet.

That is wonderful! Pretty family, too. Also, roosterlew, thank you for the genetics lesson and everyone lucky enough to have roosters for breeding to share. What a fun thread!

Mine have been molting. Started 2 weeks ago

Beautiful and so big!

Henry is a hatchery Light Brahma. I guess this sex linking is why most white/silver EEs are mostly males. Thank your for the info!!

I would like to breed these two - Penny and Henry (formerly Henny) Here is the baby pic:

Betty is a beauty!! My Penny has similar coloring but isn't quite 18 weeks and is just going thru juvie molt. Such suspense!!! Easter Eggers are all about suspense and surprise.

Beautiful egg and sooo big. And you know who laid it? I would love to see a pic of her, too!

Where do you live that a nearby hatchery has Silver Falcon EEs? I am planning my next year purchases and want more EEs, esp a nice silver one!!

A girl on another thread had to cull her baby silkie that got wry neck and could not eat, drink etc, so there was a discussion on causes, including a drawing of vaulted skull and normal skull. It made me decide I wanted nothing to do with vaulted skulls. It makes them so much more vulnerable...

I'm definitely putting Molted Houdans on my breed wish list - they are adorable! Do they have vaulted skulls like the Show-quality Silkies?

@gander007 What are those black and white ones - showgirls? They are so cute!

Yeah, sounds like a good plan - let us know how it goes!

Sounds pretty! There is no standard for EEs, so feathered legs are totally acceptable and probably pretty adorable, too! Can you post pix?

Introducing 2 flocks is so nerve racking! I have my 3 weekers in the same "run" as my 9 weekers but there are plenty of places to hide as well as the littles being able to get under the gate. So, tadkins472, the standard procedure is to let them see each other but have some barrier that...

Yay, thank you! It's the ear tufts that share the gene that can make Aracaunas die in the shell, right?
