Hello mtnviewfarms: Thanks. I often joke about my dark EE how it looks like a hawk amongst the rest of my flock! The coloring variation is very nice in EE's I agree. My EE's are a little flighty, the dark one Marmalade is the worst. They were already four-five weeks old when I got them so maybe that is why they are a little on the wild side. At least Ginger will eat from my hand. I would love to get day olds, or one day incubate some eggs (I can't get any where I am) then maybe the chicks would imprint on me.
