The EE braggers thread!!!

[Gifa]

I ordered 30 straight run Easter Eggers from Schlechts that arrived today. About 15-16 of them are solid yellow and the others are mostly chipmunk-y. Could the yellow ones be the males? They also seem a bit aggressive and were attacking my finger (andbobbing their heads) when I waved a finger at them.

Most of the female Easter Egger(hatchery) chicks I've seen have a chipmunk pattern. Has anyone noticed a connection?

Thanks (and I hope this is the right place to post this).

All Girls!

All Girls!

This is really a reply to chickenmama22: We've one that looked about like #2 above when hatched. Now she's a lovely white with no muffs whatever, a rose comb and green legs. OH, and she lays a nice blue egg. So, I guess, no, they won't necessarily be cockerals. Regards, Woody

Had two identical this and another they became

and

almost pure yellow, but not quite became


No beard, but lays a green egg

Well they are beautiful! Is it someplace I can get a few too? YUM!
Oooooo.... I want BLUE egg laying SILKIES!!!!

However, the WheatEn coloring might mess up your beautiful blue/black colors - Aaaah - who CARES! They will be COOL!

Well if we could figure out how to get it there I could probably hook you up. Someone on the "New" Ameraucana thread said they looked like project culls so that's where I would start looking in your area. He said that they looked like they had crossed a AM Blue Wheaton to a Buff to try to get size. I want to cross the red/blue roo with my silver pullet and see what I get. Some one on that sight called EE's Eastercanas too I like that so that is what I'm going to call my lovely birds. I think it will be fun to start a project just to see what different kinds I can get. I have even thought about getting rid of my Leghorn roo so that all my eggs will be EE. I wonder what would come out of my lemon roo and a Australorp. and it begins.....

Hmmm, Blue Wheaten x Buff.. I think I know somebody over here that might be doing that breeding - I guess I will have to buy some from her next time she sells some. I like the name Eastercanas for the AM crosses.

Do you feel like a mad scientists yet? Hmm.. I wonder what that cross will be like... Muhahahahahaha!

Well I'm getting new surpises every day when I go out to get eggs! Got some pullet bullets from 16 week old BO X BR girls in the baby coop (http://edible-garden.blogspot.com/2013/03/surprise.html) and some new EEs are laying in the other coops! (just ignore all the brown ones)
