    EE colouring / plumage - chicks vs/ adults --- Post your PICS!

    I also want to include a pic of one of my favorite EE girls ever. She was the mother of that first bird in my previous post (Peregrine). She was killed by a dog last year. Xena:

    EE colouring / plumage - chicks vs/ adults --- Post your PICS!

    I should qualify this by saying these were hatched at home from a BW Ameraucana roo and a variety of hens. They aren't hatchery stock EEs, so don't have the typical color patterns as much. This is Peregrine (formerly Clarice, lol) saying, "Hello World!": Chipmunk colored one in this pic: A...

    Could it be a roo in the making?

    Looks like a rose comb. Is that a Wyandotte?

    Most Beautiful Rooster Contest!!!

    I am pretty sure of the parentage. That is, I trust the person I got him from. Why silver genes? There is no white or silver on him...? Is it the pattern?

    How do you get Lavender plumage, and is this a Lav chick?!

    Quote: After looking at pics of splash chicks, some have a yellowish tinge, with darker spots (some of my chicks look like this also), but then some do look like these more silvery (lavender-esque) ones that I have, so I guess the are probably splash?

    How do you get Lavender plumage, and is this a Lav chick?!

    Quote: My Barred Rock x BW Ameraucana is solid blue, so doesn't she have blue genes? And what about the Blue Sex Link x Blue Wheaten Ameraucana? I have had some blue colored EEs before, and they were much darker. To me these chicks look just like all the pics I find of Lavender chicks.

    How do you get Lavender plumage, and is this a Lav chick?!

    Does this chickie appears to be Lavender color? I have two like this. What do you think? Also, can anyone tell me how one would go about breeding Lavender plumage (on purpose, lol)? My Lav looking chicks are from a Splash Ameraucana roo and hen possibilities are: Barred Rock x BW Ameraucana...

    What hens to breed with my BCM x Welsummer roo?

    Thanks Ridgerunner. Looking at the chart, it does look like maybe Delaware or RIR would be my best bets. Or I could cross him back to a Welsummer, because it looks like they actually lay pretty well. I think I'll try all three, and see what happens. Now to get my hands on some... I'll also be...

    What hens to breed with my BCM x Welsummer roo?

    My idea is that I would like to preserve the dark egg color as much as possible, while increasing production in the offspring. What type of hen is an excellent layer, but tends toward a darker brown egg color? I have a RSL that's lays an almost terracotta colored egg, but then I've seen other...

    what would they be called?

    Quote: Cute. My rooster is Black Copper Marans x Welsummer, so I call him my Maransummer, though maybe Wellarans sounds cuter. Welsumarans. Ooo, that's a good one!

    What is the trick to wireing up a computer fan in bator??

    When I did mine I took an old computer fan and spliced it with the plug for a phone charger I didn't need. Worked great!

    A tiny hole and then nothing

    Quote: So sorry to hear that. Do you mean the one that pipped is dead? Posting pics couldn't hurt. A lot of the more experienced hatchers may be able to identify the problem.

    Lock down was yesterday - March 23 - anyone else?

    My lockdown was yesterday, and mine are on the early side! Had two pips yesterday morning, and those two hatched last night. As of now, 4 chicks and a few more pipped.

    First time incubating & I need some advice/support!

    Because of so much varying advice, I actually don't bother monitoring the humidity. I provide some humidity for the first 18 days, then a lot for the last three days. Not very scientific, but stops me from obsessing... As for the egg that wasn't turning right, just put it back in and don't...
