Chickens aren't like people. As a matter of fact, inbreeding is a practice that many breeders use. If you search "inbreeding," here on BYC, you will find some good reading. Or, you can google "inbreeding poultry," and find good stuff, too. Opinions differ as far as how many generations to do...

You can mate them. You don't need to go to another flock.

Great pictures, emjay! They are beautiful girls! Love the laced one. My daughter and I went to the Crossroads Show. I was suppose to take a Wheaten Ameraucana for a friend. I accidentally picked up the wrong bird from the coop. Ooops! (The light was dim at 4AM, is my excuse) Anyway, we...

In downsizing, I have only 4 Easter Eggers left. I kept a variety of colors, just for fun.

Quote: Yes, it could. But, hopefully it's a real EE and not an Ameraucana. Really! I sure hope so. I want only pure EEs. Quote: I bought them at Orscheln's. They get their chicks from Estes Hatchery.

Quote: Very pretty EEs! They remind me of my little flock. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/19748_chicpic_122.jpg https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/19748_chicpic_030.jpg They do look alot alike, don't they? I think they are so pretty! I bought mine at Orscheln's...

I kept 4 of the 10 chicks I bought this spring. I kept a variety of colors. They should be laying soon, I think. In a younger group of grow outs, I have 3 Easter Eggers. One is almost white........

gordonburrito .... Beautiful bird! I like the idea of the petting sessions, too! I have one that looks alot like your Jasmine. I don't know if you can see her very well in this picture (6 months ago) ....

Quote: I think that is a sort of blue color, isn't it? Pattern? Hmmm, I dunno about that.

Quote: Quote: Thanks! I really like them, too. I only have 3 EEs, and they all have blue in them. I used them for Olive Eggers for awhile (BCM roo), then I just let them go to the Layer's Coop where there was a Delaware rooster. This girl insisted on hatching, so she has a couple little...

This is one of my Easter Eggers... Here is another one .... the broody mama. She hatched out 2 of her own eggs (sired by a Delaware)...

My broody EE hatched her own 2 eggs. Daddy is a Delaware. She sat on her eggs in the Layers Coop. Today she kicked everyone out of the coop and brought her babies out. First inside the coop checking things out, then came outside ..... Believe me, she is a fierce one, and everyone stayed away...

Oh my, there are some beautiful birds on this thread! I love my 3 Easter Eggers. They are just the sweetest girls. Two lay the prettiest light blueish green eggs, and one lays a pale pink egg. I have had about enough broodies this year! Oh my! NOW, one of the EE gals is broody! She is sitting...

Quote: I think your gal needs an apron, too! That is just about what mine looked like.

The only hatchery stock that I kept when we changed over to breeder quality is our Easter Eggers. We just love them. 2 lay green eggs, and 1 lays a pink egg. They are the sweetest girls. I guess the roosters all agree, as they are their favorites, too, and their backs were getting bare...

Cheryl, Phoebe is a cutie!

Oh yes, we love pictures!

Rainbow .... Thanks for sharing your pictures with us! I love your barred birds!

How long must we wait out here for our treats?
