    Quote: No I don't think it is I did call and they offered to correct the errors, but since they were all hens and I just want eggs it was OK.

    It has been chilly ever since I got the EE chicks, I haven't been able to get a great picture yet. This is the best so far. I love the outlining on her eye. I know this isn't an EE but it is a good picture of my great-nephew holding one of the new chicks. I was afraid to let him hold an EE...

    Hoping that the weather is a little better tomorrow so I can get pictures of the babies. They are all thriving still a little shy since it has been too cold to fol with them. Sometimes brooding outside has disadvantages.

    Quote: Yeah congrats!!!!!! Good things come to those that wait, but confession time, was there any chicken squeezing involved? I did not squeeze them to get the egg to come out. I was planning on doing that when I got home and the egg was already there. I guess they knew what was...

    Quote: Congrats, since you are brooding them does that mean you get to pick your 5? but then it is like only picking 5 godiva chocolates out of the box. This friend and I always get chicks together, so nice to have a cohort! They are all supposed to be pullets so I guess it is like a box of...

    Quote: Its impossible to know unless a test breeding has confirmed that the male EE carries the blue egg gene. If it carries two copies, all his female chicks will lay blue or green; one copy produces 50%; and of course he can't produce blue eggers out of non-blue eggers if he doesn't carry...

    Quote: The blue egg gene is dominant, so you will most likely end up with hens laying blue or green eggs, but theres also a slight chance that they will lay brown. I believe the blue egg gene is closly related to the pea comb on EEs so the off spring with single combs will most likely lay...
