Do I hear a song coming on?

I may be totally wrong, but I'm beginning to suspect I have easter eggers. They just have too much brown in their chick down. The first chicks momma hen hatched were easter egger crosses. All but 1 of them hatched out chipmunk colored. Whatever they are they are super friendly. Over the weekend me and Rosie would get them out individually and together several times a day to bond with them. Ezzie and all 3 orps if given the opportunity gravitate toward Rosie. My little chipmunks, prefer me. Rosie is rubbing it in that MY silkie and the orps love her more.

Such wonderful times.

I’m happy to report, that there has been no toe biting this morning (Arizona made good on her promise)

I believe that when I catch up someone will have told you EEs. They look like they could be EEs to me.

Yup EEs were suggested and it is what I suspect. I feel like a idiot not fully researching mom's short list breeds. I don't mind EEs, bearded and non bearded almost all of them are beautiful chickens. I am going to have to start having conversations with the chicks daily now though. I have 5 to 6 months to plead with them not to lay a blue egg but a brown one lol.

Arizona is on the porch, under the table, making me breakfast.

My ignorant neighbors, wouldn’t take the blue eggs that Canna used to lay. I considered that a good thing.

I went back through my archive of photo's and found these. This is the first group of chicks momma hen hatched. They were EE x Wyandotte's, but one of these cute little chipmunks grew up to be Henrietta.
Here they are at a couple days old.

Henrietta at 6 months old, please let one of these new ones end up looking like her.

Henrietta as a adult, I really miss this girl.

I know this is a terrible thing to say on Bob's thread, but I prefer brown eggs. If they are EEs and IF they lay blue/green eggs Rosie will be doing cartwheels. No matter the color of the shell, the eggs will taste the same.
