Let’s see your EE Roosters

[The Five O]

What’s up guys , just curious to see other Easter egger roosters . I ended up getting 2 males and they all look very different . Always fun having EE as you never really know how they will turn out . These 2 are 3 months old.

It was about 70:30, attack:eat I still have scars on my legs from him. The last straw was when he had been in the run but when I started gathering eggs (external door into the boxes) he came into the coop and went full attack mode at my face. He's awaiting a warm soak in some coconut milk with curry spices spa day. the little black cockerel in the other photo is one of his chicks, we have about 2 dozen, the pullets are great, friendly and bold, the cockerels are

Doris, my old man. ( he died a couple of years ago) he had a wonderful personality

Doris' son, with a dark brahma hen, Goliath. Goliath is a good rooster. I can trust him not to attack anyone. He is good to his hens, doesn't bother other roosters, so long as they don't bother his hens, and he ignores the bantam hens.

Doris' son, Butterbean, from a buff brahma hen. He wasn't good with other roosters, but was sweet with people. He was rehomed.

Doris and his sons are beautiful! I would have never thought of crossing an EE with a Brahma, those are gorgeous!

Thank you. I love colored eggs and big fluffy butts, so it seemed like a winning combination.
The big girls are beautiful too.

Our EE roos aren't too old yet, 11 weeks now, but Doofenshmirtz and Mister are learning to live under a bunch of hens lol

Doofenshmirtz is crowing (ish lol) he is still squeaky lol and he coos at food for the girls

Doofenshmirtz is the red one (blue wheaten Ameraucana(BWA) dad x Alsteirer/welsummer hen. We're slowly training him to be held but he comes up to me when I have food, grabs a bunch and drops it and coos lol
(And the grey one next to Doofenshmirtz we are still on the fence if b/g due to its behavior lol time will tell)

Mister, white BWA dad x leghorn, him and his sister of same parentage are still a little skittish, figured due to leghorn. Not crowing or even trying to yet. I think he has a Santa beard lol my crew don't see it lol

I just hatched my first Brahma pullet about 8 weeks ago, maybe I'll hatch a couple EE x Brahma mixes next year

I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Doris was a mix of blue orpington and splash ameraucana, so he was a big easter egger. The dark brahma hens were both big, big girls, so I got sizeable chicks from them.
Good luck! It will be a fun project.
