I loved all the roo's i got from Rodger this year but they were MASSIVE by 3 months and I was worried they would injure the girls if I kept them for breeding.

 

Here's the boy I am planning on keeping with my 'extras'...  Ain't he purty? love.gif

One of my EE pullets appears to be molting her beard and cheek muffs.  It looks really weird.  I picked her up and looked around her neck feathers for any lice or anything, but it looked normal.  Is this normal?  A lot of the EE's are losing tail feathers, but this is different.

 

Has anyone crossed EE x Brahmas yet?  I really want to see that combination.

I have a 3 month old pullet that was shedding some of her baby feathers a couple weeks ago and is now much better-looking, you can really see the greens/purples in her black feathers. I believe she is Wyandotte/EE, she's got that long, more upright EE tail.  Wyandottes mature slowly though so mine may be a little off compared to other EE's.

Yes, that is one gorgeous egg. If the inside color of the shell is the same as the outer, there must not be a brown coating (. My EE's egg is a similar color, but a much lighter shade. Maybe mine has only one gene for blue shells, and yours has both genes.

 

Got a wheaten x buff Ameraucana (EE) from a lovely lady who is working toward turquoise eggs. Have a few more months before my pullet will lay and I hope her egg is like yours. Stunning!

Thanks! frow.gif
