    I have a 2nd gen OE that looks very similar to yours. She has a crested like yours does, but her comb isn't nearly as prominent.

    Good to know. All the BCM I have had started out with lighter eggs with dark spots or had a faded appearance, dark on bottom, light on top.

    Cool. I haven't bought any from MyPetChicken, though I've heard really good things. I have two pure Ameraucanas and I am on a waiting list for four CCLs from a local breeder. :D I'm starting my own line of OEs soon! Yay! I will need to buy some Marans soon... I'm picky on their egg color, and I...

    Thank you. As soon as they start laying, I'll try to guess who lays which eggs and post pictures.

    That's good to know. No fifth toes here, so not silkie. I wish I could find her number to ask her, but she didn't mention Araucanas or Legbars. I bought four straight run chicks, and it looks like I lucked out with only one roo. They should start laying around August. I can't wait.

    I bought some F2 OEs from a local lady I asked her what she used for the OE genetics, she said Ameraucanas and Marans. Two started developing crests around a couple weeks old, and I'm pretty certain these guys are not OEs, but they are still cute all the same. I'm trying to figure out what...

    They are pretty though... What did you mix to get that pretty white?

    I have 30 chickens. Out of those thirty, I probably have about 20 different breeds. I bought several to find what I like best. The worst part, I haven't narrowed it down. What can I say? I'm chicken crazy!

    If you were closer, I'd take you up on that offer. :) I have a laying Welsummer pullet and a Marans pullet that should lay in another few weeks.

    I have some Leghorn x Maran eggs under a broody due to hatch today. Hopefully I'll be able to quench your curiosity in the next 20+ weeks.

    I can see clearly now the rain is gone. I have to admit, I was very confused. Thank you for clearing it up for me.

    I don't understand... If he will supply a blue egg gene to half of his offspring, how will only a quarter lay a colored egg? I also have an OE cockerel who one parent (not sure which) is an EE (the person I got them from says they are Ameraucanas, but they aren't). Would I get the same...

    I just have to show off my pullet that Labelle, my GL Polish, hatched out. She is such a good momma, and she still has eggs expected to hatch out tomorrow. The chick is a cross between and OE and an EE, and I'm excited to see what color she will lay.

    Does any one have a broody hen that ONLY goes broody when another hen is, and she won't sit on her own? My Splash OE (pictured above), I named her Moaning Myrtle, will only sit on other hen's nests. She has done it to Poof (Silkie) and Labelle (GL Polish). When Poof was sitting, I had to take...

    I let my Silkie hatch out some eggs for me, and I only got two chicks. Their parents are my EE cockerel Bandit that came from McMurray Hatchery and a Splash OE that came from a local backyarder. Since Bandit came from a hatchery, I don't know what his background is. I was told that the...

    Hey fellow OE peeps. I took some pictures of my OEs (and a couple of EEs) today and wanted to show them off. I bought two BCMs, and it looks like I have two OE cockerels. I'm keeping once, and I suppose I'll keep him instead of getting a BCM cockerel... And I'm planning on getting rid of the...
