yes the Mama's do have a fierce look, and there are some I wouldn't dare reach in... but Peachy only looks like she's got stink eye... she's bonded with me and trusts that I wouldn't take a chick more than a few inches away. mostly, I like to give them a boost up onto her back, for a photo. by...

a few new EE babies hatched today! the little brown turned it's head at the last second, but it has a sweet brown/red face with a nice red marking on it's beak, the one in front has a small chipmunk stripe and the one in the back is strawberry blonde with a yellow face. they were hatched by...

most of the girls are back to laying regularly! love the Marans eggs, with my EE Roo, I will be breeding for OE's this Spring

you'll get nice Olive Eggers lindz! so nice! on the egg shell color, my blue eggs and green eggs are all blue on the inside. my pinks and browns are white on the inside, I haven't done this since last year, and now have Marans eggs, I will have to peek at those the next time I crack one...

same in NY, it's been wonderful! I sure do wish that was the end of winter, but I know better... we'll probably pay for this reprieve with massive snow storms in Feb...

me too Aoxa... but Spring is a mere 65 days away, and most will see improvement in weather 2-3 weeks before that... we won't tho'... we're too far North... and you're even further... but it's coming !!!

my original flock containing some EE's came from McMurray's, My Dec. chicks came from My Pet Chicken, and I got a fabulous variety of colors - the McMurray bunch were almost all reds, with 2 BLR's. If you are going hatchery, I would go with MPC... only because of the greater variety of...

Congratulations! that color is lovely! I saw EE Merry in the nest today, and I found her egg along with what is likely to be one of my Cochins first egg. Merry, 13 months old

I thought Aoxa has Les Farms ?

I am finally caught up reading! and since no one posted a pic of a purple egg... this was posted to Fresh Eggs Daily on Facebook, by someone named "Leslie". it is not my pic, egg, or bird... but it was laid by a Marans. my flock fared well with molting, some had it hard... but most have...

pretty all white EE, 12 weeks old, brooded here by my wonderful little Cochin EE I'm figuring I will be more likely to get a shade of pink/cream/brown eggshell, she's got a straight comb... she has lightly feathered shanks and a very sweet, but somewhat shy dispostiion. I have a good shot...

more EE chicks! hatched yesterday from morning til evening... my broody bantam can cover 5 LF eggs, one broke during the first week, one was rejected about day 16, but she's 3 for 3 on the remaining. all are from the same EE sire, one chick is BR x (cream egg), one is BSL x (brown speckled...

thanks ChickenRose Kassaundra, as always... the most spectacular birds... I'm over them all but the black one in particular

thanks for the compliments! they are all so fluffy and wonderful... it was a smooth transition when they were introduced to the big gang and moved into the dome as permanent residents. amazingly, more than a few of them started to lay between 17-19 weeks, and were all laying by 20 weeks. I...

my December chicks have grown up and are laying beautiful eggs in a variety of blues, greens, and creams... and the bantam Cochin EE I was so lucky to get from a fellow byc'er hatched one chick out of three eggs in mid winter, a BR x EE, turns out to be a little cockerel, but he's really cute...

an update on the December chicks... just one turned out to be a cockerel, and it was one of the brown chicks that no one suspected. and my broody bantam hatched one of three eggs, a BR x EE! she's a doting Mama, I hope she wants to hatch more

it may be a warm spell, and it is going to get colder, but I've had enough of the chicken poop smell in the house and they won't let me clean without hopping all over my hands, arms, the scooper... so OUT they went! the chicks are in my portable run... that I did finish covering after I moved...
