    Looks like nice size eggs and a good variety of colors. That's what is so great about EE's- all the different shades of blues and greens. These abbreviations always keep me guessing- CM, is that Copper Maran?

    BBrock, I have a pb. Ameraucana blue hen and used my silver EE roo in a pen with her and the resulting chick that I kept for myself is a carbon copy of the hen, right down to the slate colored legs. In other words it looks exactly like a pb. Ameraucana. As an added plus I believe it is a pullet...

    Breshcandra- Actually it is the other way around, there were EE's long before Ameraucana's. In fact EE's are what Ameraucana's were bred from by selectively breeding for color, body type, egg color, etc. It is true tho that EE's are now being "made" by crossing Ameraucana's with just about any...

    Ghostrider65- Nice pullet in the first pic and the little roo in the second pic has an awesome beard/muffs! From what I can see in the third pic the one facing the wall appears to also be a roo. Nice colors on these youngsters!

    B/W one does look like it might one day start exercising his crowing ability! Really some pretty chicks you have. Here in the country everyone is so use to my roo's crowing( four of them) that morning would not be the same without it. Also none of my roo's have ever shown any aggression towards...

    SteveH- Talk about pest and pestilence of Biblical porportions! I do know what black flies are, have been bitten by them while up in Canada. Never encountered them in the numbers you describe tho. We have a few gnats here but no mosquitoes. Left them behind in Louisiana with the fire ants and...

    SteveH- So sorry to learn of your great loss! What in the world are buffalo gnats and how do they affect chicks/chickens? I do like the blue colored chicks you have, what are they produced from? Charlie

    Very nice coop you have there! Any chicken would be proud to call it home. Also beautiful children you have and is great to see that they are enjoying the chickens as well. My 2 1/2 yr. old g'daughter is pictured in my avatar, she spends a great deal of time here with us and apparantly has...

    Somehow a double post? HoP- Your chick seems to have what is termed a "monkey mouth" where the bottom jaw or beak is longer than the top one. This defect happens sometimes in most animal species and in your case shouldn't be of any concern as long as she can eat. That way she will grow up and...

    Ryan and Peach2u- You both have some really nice colored EE chicks, I am partial to the silvers and believe you made an excellent choice of roo's with Blackbeard based on color. Sorry about your over abundance of roo's Peach! Don't know what it is this year but also everything born here so far...

    busybeelee- So sorry to hear about the conflict with your neighbors over the crowing of your rooster. I guess to us country dweller's crowing is just part of waking up , I hardly even notice it and I have at least 5 of them sounding off. Maybe you have lazy neighbors who like to sleep half the...

    Velvet Hairpiece, If the chick you are referring to is the nicely colored black & white one I would agree that you might have to change it's name as it does have that roo look . If so, as it gets a little older it will be very obvious by it's mannerism's. Whatever sex it is it has a very nice...

    Soulsong- Kassaundra did beat me to the draw with answering your question concerning the straight comb, in all my years of breeding blue egg layers I have only had the pea comb hens lay blue and/or green eggs. But, give them a few months and you will know for sure. With EE genetics you might...

    My two LG's are almost full so I'm thinking of offering some of my EE eggs on the BYC auction . I have been working on this line for 12+ yrs., even moving them 900 miles when we relocated to Va. I have refined them to where they only produce blue eggs, usually are only two color patterns (...

    ChestnutRidge, The eggs I set are from my own line of EE's that I have been breeding for 12+ yrs. I have culled them over the years to where they produce only a couple of color patterns( reds and silvers) and lay only blue eggs. I hope to offer some hatching eggs on BYC soon so will be posting a...

    ChestnutRidge, Congrats on your EE chicks! I really like the color of the darker ones, what were they bred from? Just put my first eggs of this year in the incubator so may have some pics to share in 3 weeks.

    Sure looks like a pullet to me, and a very nice color too! Hard to tell but looks like she also has green legs.
