EE colouring / plumage - chicks vs/ adults --- Post your PICS!

[Basel]

Gifa, I love your pictorial progression! How cool. Beautiful birds.


I've a question to all you EE lovers. I have a pure blue Ameraucana cockerel [not EE] in with some hens. He was sexed a girl as a baby.
Nevertheless, he hasn't been rehomed yet and at 5 months has been courting the girls.

I am tempted to hatch the eggs!

Anyone ever have a blue Ameraucana x Australorp EE??

Or a blue Ameraucana x P Barred Rock EE??

Or oddly enough, a blue Ameraucana x black Silkie EE???!


I'd love to see pictures or hear any thoughts.

Thanks!

I am worried about Mac's comb this winter. Is seems to want to be tall like a single comb, but has the short base of a pea comb, so it flops over. It dips in the water when he drinks.

Here is my EE (Chichi) at 3 weeks old:


Here she is when she is fully feathered out (don't know how old she is in this pic)



Love this thread! Got another EE chick that (judging by her wing feathers) looks like she might look pretty similar to Chichi. I'm hoping to get several more in March and hopefully get a good variety of colors.

I deliberately selected my 4 very different looking EE chicks in order to hopefully get 4 very different looking EE hens... mostly for the sake of variety.

And with that in mind, I am going to track their development every week (by updating this post with new pics)

They're all lovely, but I love these two best!
