Easter Egger club!

My girls are all grown up and finally laying! Aesa, BR was first @ 21 weeks, then Saga @ almost 22 weeks, then Sigge & Brynja one month later @ 22 1/2 weeks!
Oddly, that was their previously established rank in the pecking order, too. Coincidence? Hmmm.

I agree, nice range of shades!


that's a nice looking rooster you've got:)
thick legs
Pointing up tail feathers
Developed comb/ wattles
Thanks. He is the handsome one, that's for sure. And gentle too. How good a protector he will be is unknown, at the moment he even runs from the PR hen's 'pecking order' challenges. At least he doesn't challenge ME, and I certainly hope that stays the case!

As for his tail, it's getting more flamboyant every day. I hope he develops some impressive feathers, they'll look nice glued onto my bike helmet!

He is adorable I have 3 Banty Roos I can't wait for to grow for the same thing
 
Thinking about adopting this rooster. Please can anyone tell me about his coloring and what he may produce. He's an EE from Meyers. I have several EE hens a few partridge and one creamy colored one.

Yes! Thank you for your input. I have a few partridge hens that would make good mates. Is there any way to tell egg color or just see what my hens produce and then go from there?
 
There is no way to tell which egg color genes he has until you start growing out his female chicks.
So, if I know the color of eggs my hens produce, is there a high likely hood that the offspring will be a shade of that plus whatever his genetics holds? How does egg color pass on exactly?
