Show off your EE's and EE mixes!!

Not at the moment no. Chubs is going to the swap this morning as I have no room for another rooster. I hate to part with him but I must

I sold ALOT of chicks this spring and most of them were ee/cochin crosses. They sold really quick. Must have been the cute beards lol

Yea.....do they hatch well? I made an incubator and it holds 1 standard egg, how many EE/Cochin's would it hold?

 

[Chickenaddict]

Probably about 2-3 maybe?

Forgot to add I have had 100% hatch rates on all my blue eggs. Not one quitter or dud. I can't tell ya what the rates would be with shipping them. EE's I have hatched in incubators that have been shipped didn't do well for me. Out of 9 eggs in one batch I got 3 babies (2 roos and one pullet), out of 12 eggs from another batch I had shipped I got 1 pullet.

This is a head shot of the same. Can you see the lacing (I think that's what it's called) on her feathers?

I definately do see the EE in her, particularly the muffs and beard coming in and the pea comb too. She's a beaut. Congrats.

Your EE's are beautiful and I really love the variety that you have. Were they from a hatchery? Curious cuz I would love to get that kind of a mix!
