i dont think either of those girls look like ee's to me, what makes you think so?

Sillyaboutchickens, lovely birds you have there. Good pic too!

Chickn, I think the laying green eggs was her tip off on Java. EEs can look pretty much like anything since they are mixed breeds.

are they in with the ee's?

That would actually be a good reason for green eggs if she isn't one. I didn't think of that.

It's a done deal I'm getting a horse for an early Christmas preasant so I will be selling all the chickens except for a few. Most are Pullets some are laying. These are the nice quality birds that I planed on keeping. I have Seramas, Silkie Seramas, Shay and Janet I have that handsome Showgirl Roo that I got from Shay that will also be for sale, Really nice looking Blue and Bearded Buff Laced Polish just started laying,Silkies, Mill Fleur D"Uccle Porcalain D"Uccle Janet I have the twin Pullet to the white Frizzle you love so much and more. All for sale at good prices just make me an offer. If your looking for any other Bantams ask I may have it. I will also be selling my Cabinet incubator I just bought a couple Months ago. Works great and it's blond proof I've hatched dozens of chicks in the last couple Months including Seramas and it was my first time trying. First $200 takes it. I also have a really nice brooder three sides are glass so you can watch the chicks and the top is on hinges for easy opening for $25

Here are some pics of the new cage i built for my bantam roosters that are staying inside our house this winter. The materials i used are mostly leftover lumber, hardware, and even some plexi-glass left from other projects. The only thing i bought was the hardware cloth. Oh, and i had to buy the castors, since the ones i had laying around the house didn't work out, but i need to be able to move the cage.
I designed the cage to fit in a certain spot on one side of our playroom where we have storage shelves--i can just move the cage to get stuff from behind it on those rare occasions. The cage measures 36 inches wide, by 23 inches deep, and about 41 inches tall. I used leftover paneling on the back and one side. On the lower part of the other side and the front, I used 2 plexi-glass pieces i had laying around the house---they hold the chips inside the cage, while the roosters love looking out! I screened the upper part of that side and the front, including the door, and i screened the top, so they have plenty of ventilation too. I used a piece of plywood to make a platform not quite half-way up the cage---this is where i put their food and water, so they can't kick chips into their dishes! There is still penty of room for them to jump up and down easily. I did change the dishes to a differnt style several days later---mainly becasue i needed the round dishes for some other chicks. I also used a forked tree-branch from outside to make a roost for them! I hung their light on a cup-hook outside their cage, shining in, and put it on a timer. The whole set-up is working out great!
It's also built well enough, that i can have a small guinea pig cage on top of it for our baby chicks!
