    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Do any of you have a cross of wyandotte and ee? Wondering if this would be a better cross than using a Buckeye. Trying to keep comb and wattles small. I have a cross of Buckeye and EE and no wattles hardly and comb but wondering about best rooster for egg production. Thanks.
