    The EE braggers thread!!!

    When I have let my broody hatch eggs I have given her her own broody coop so that there is no chance she will go to the wrong place. The other option is to incubate eggs and swap the chicks in under the broody after they hatch.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Glad I am not the only one with super broody EEs... My mixed breed hen has a fair amount of White Leghorn in her bloodline but she went broody very young, less than 6 months old if I remember right. She has gone broody 4 times now and is only 1 year and 2 months old.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Speaking of coloring - anyone have any idea what feather pattern this little rooster will have when fully feathered in? His mother was a Red Star(the one in the pullet picture) and father was the mix breed"EE" that is primarily W-Leghorn/Australorp/Blue Am. The black chick with white...

    Alright, I need help from you eggsperts out there. Is this a pea comb? <1 day old chick that just hatched, (s)he was due tomorrow.

    Our little fluffy Easter Eggers are all grown up now, one of them laid her first egg at just 21 weeks old.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    I have a quick question for you eggsperts. How early can you determine if a pullet/cockerel has a pea comb vs a single comb? I am planning to do some cross breeding and want to select out the single combs and sell them early on to save on chick feed.

    That is my favorite coloring of EE as well. We have two that are similar. One of them looks just like that but with muffs/beard. I was secretly hoping that they would have this coloring and lucky enough they did!

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    You are not the first and most certainly will not be the last to have to deal with the venom from people within that thread. The idea that Ameraucanas are a pure breed in itself is... interesting. Recently I have really wanted to get an Ameraucana simply to breed it to a pearl white leghorn...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Couldn't agree more. I love the look of the Easter Eggers we received from the hatchery, they are beautiful. The only thing I don't like is not knowing if they will lay blue or green eggs. I would really like them to lay a nice color of blue. Here are two of our new Easter Eggers, far left...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    http://www.ameraucana.org/standard.html It seems that anything that doesn't fit that standard including color is considered an Easter Egger. Technically even Ameraucana would fit into easter egger breed but not the other way around considering they were bred from them to an arbitrarily...
