Just resting up, absorbing the yolk, filling their cells with oxygen so that they have the strength to zip and hatch!

Congrats.

I was just worried about it only being day 19. both have zipped and one is halfway out. Girls are hogging all the incubator space.

Here are the chicks from my friends EE's

My husband really wants to get some EEs (that's right ladies and gents, I am infecting him with the same chicken fever I have!

) and I hear so much about chicks being sold as EEs but are not EEs at all! Anyone know a dependable place to buy true EE chicks?

 

[SherrieT]

I thought Easter Eggers were the mutts?

What you are actually hearing is might be this:

There are folks that are selling chicks as Ameraucanas and they are actually EEs.

Then there are those EE's that don't lay green or blue, and folks argue that they aren't true EEs.

That's what I thought. These were from nice blue eggs but the parents are hatchery "Ameraucanas" so I just feel a bit more accurate referring to them as EE's.

Thanks Mahonri! I am still learning the ropes when it comes to chickens. I try my best to do my research on topics before I ask them here (so much great info on BYC and the web!), but gosh darn it, sometimes it can get down right confusing and complex! I have a hard time wrapping my head around it all. Especially when a topic is heated and people have strong opinions on what is right and what is wrong in regards to chickens.
