We have a first egg today! Nice olive color. Here is Hazel’s little pullet egg next to my other OE’s egg (she is a Welsummer/CCL cross) and a photo of Hazel today, just under 20 weeks old.😊

She is gorgeous! Love the beard and muffs.😍

Hazel is integrated in with the big girls and just started squatting here at 19 weeks of age…😃

Thanks! I am really liking the way her coloring turned out.🥰

Hazel, now 16 weeks, is almost full grown. Now the wait for eggs!😊

Hazel now 11 weeks. Has all of her adult feathering in now. She is a little skittish but I think this is partially due to the fact that I got her already at two weeks of age. Her hatch mate Violet is turning out to be a male, so I will be selling him. That’s the way things work out sometimes.🙂

Post away! No rules around here. Always fun to see egg photos!😃

Agree. I think they are still producing the Welsummer mixes as well as the newer Barnevelder mixes. 😊

They look great! Easter Eggers often have a chipmunk stripe/eyeliner too. 😊 Here is Hazel at 8 weeks.

Just over 7 weeks and Hazel has all her feathers in. Hoping her beard/muffs fill in a bit more as she gets older. If their anything like Silkies, this can take several months. I am really liking her coloring, almost a copper color base.😊 Her brood mate Violet is feathering in nicely, too. Still...

5 and half weeks. Moved out to the tractor during the day.😊

They could be twins!😍🤣

Cute!😍 The ones with crests normally have crested cream legbar in their parentage.😊

Hazel just over 4 weeks. Out enjoying the good weather. I’m really liking the color pattern she is developing. Looks like some brown feathers starting to come in on her head.😊

Yes. I know these are not OE in the traditional sense. I have other “true” OEs as well. Was more curious about their appearance and temperment and egg production. I know egg color will be a crapshoot. Guess we will find out when they lay.🤣

Sounds like they could be the same birds. 🤷‍♀️ Technically OEs are EEs. Scissor beak in EEs is common from what I understand. Single combs in Wyandottes too. I have never ordered from Ideal before (bought mine from a third party) but hatcheries in general breed for quantity and not quality...

Out with the chicks today and I noticed that little Hazel, the OEs new name, is developing what looks like orange and dark brown, almost spangled patterned, feathers. Interesting that all three of the ones that I had were so similar considering they are half Easter Egger with fairly endless...

Let's hope they really look like the ones in the photo! 😊

I've never had Barnevelders. How do you like them?😊 I did find a photo on line that were supposedly all from this cross. There is a chance of them laying brown, but it should be a nice copper color if so:

Awesome!🥰 Mine, still to be named, is 3 weeks old too! Her sibs went to their new home today. So I only have this one left with her Silkie mix buddy! Please post photos of Judy here as she grows, too!😊
