These are 2 of my EE's from this years bunch! They are both 13 weeks old so hopefully only about 3 more weeks until they start laying! Anyway, the cockerel's name is bacon and I don't know a name for my pullet. What do you all think her name should be? Oh, and next year these 2 are going to be together so do you think there is a good chance of their chicks having the same color as the hen since they both are blue and red?

It would be only natural to go with Bacon and Eggs...

I was thinking pancakes since she has some brownish pancake color on her

Oooh, how about naming her "Crispy" so it's "Crispy and Bacon". ;D

My EE (two weeks old) has gone from being the sweetest of the babies to resisting handling. She still likes to sit on my shoulder, but doesn't want to be picked up or held. The feathers under her wings are growing, could it be that she's sensitive to the touch?

I am sooooo confused! Is this 2 yr old roo an Ameracauna or and EE? I have EEs currently and 1 EE cockerel that is 12 weeks old and all white. He has been handled by myself and my toddler boys since he was a couple of days old. But my friend's dad is giving away this stunning roo, and I am wondering if I should take him to breed with my girls instead of my cockerel....So what breed is he, and what would you do?

I have Roo like this he is either Rhode Island Red or a Red Procation Roo I hope that helps

EE Roo don't get that big I don't think. Ask my chicken Person at my feed store what kind of Roo I have like the one you are showing and she told me Rhode Island Red or the Red Proctons you can look them up in the breed list if that might help. I will take a pic of my Roo like your.
