It took a while, but both my spring EEs are laying now. Cheekquita lays pretty light brown pinkish eggs, and Essie Rae produces gorgeous robin's egg blue.
This was right after Essie laid her first egg. I think Cheekquita was explaining the facts of life to her (over Tammy's back).
He does resemble your Hoot. I hope I can find someone to take him. Since we're new with chickens, we only got six, so that leaves five probable/possible pullets (2 more EEs, 2 Wyandottes and 1 Dominique).
Yeah, I had kind of resigned myself to that. Dang. He's also recently gotten quite a bit bigger than Chiquita and they were the same size when I got them. And there's a bigger tail developing.... *sigh* Here he is next to my Wyandottes.
Hi! I'm new here and have been trying to read everything but there's just so much! It's great to look at the EE pictures; I've already found several that look similar to my three.
