    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Just a little tidbit on the feathering out bit... I recently hatched some 1st gen EEs. I watched the tail-feathering closely on about 5 and those that were "supposed" to be girls were boys and vice versa. I don't think this method is reliable at all. Other indicators are better.

    Easter Egger Pullets: 1st generation -- will lay blue green eggs-- 4 mo -- Phila, PA

    Hi, No the ones from this hatch I am keeping haven't started laying yet. However I know they will lay blue/green eggs because the blue gene is dominant and that's what they received from the dad [who is pure Ameraucana [not an EE]]. If the dad were an EE they you'd have no idea what color...

    Easter Egger Pullets: 1st generation -- will lay blue green eggs-- 4 mo -- Phila, PA

    I have four 1st generation Easter Egger pullets. I hatched these. Three are black and one blue. All are bearded and have darker legs. Very cute! I just can't keep them all. The father was a pure blue Ameraucana [not EE]. Mothers were a black australorp and a barred rock. So these are...

    This is my white cockerel I had to rehome. Wish I had done what you did!

    Awesome! This is truly amazing. I wish I had tried it on my one cockerel before I re-homed him. Keep it up! There is a market for this. Thanks for giving people an alternative to "freezer camp".

    Silkie thread!

    Help. Do silkies lose their beards when moulting? I have a little white bearded who has been broody for the last month or two. This morning I noticed she has no beard anymore! She looks beardless save for some little fluff feathers there. ????

    Silkies from Garry Farm "BARGAIN" ?

    Good about wrapping it in a wet towel. Keep the membrane wet or he could get "shrink wrapped". I'd use tweezers and open a little clear air hole where his beak is, removing a little egg shell for him to breathe out of, and keep the membrane wet and let him hatch in his correct time.

    I don't have an AM roo anymore, sorry, but the best AM blues generally come from Wheaten or Blue Wheaten pure Ameraucanas [not Easter Eggers]. Look in the classifieds as there are other breeders who sell hatching eggs from stock that have wonderful blue-egg genes. Also look on the Ameraucana...

    Silkie Cross Thread!! PICS!!

    He is pretty! I have two black silkie crosses [with an Ameraucana] that are just starting to get these creamy-white feathers on their necks and back. Wow. Now I know what they would look like!!! Mine have beards and a crest too. They're 4 months old. If anyone would like them, please let...
