The EE braggers thread!!!

today hatched three of eight green eggs under my silkie. One is a naked neck! My flock is mostly naked necks, naked neck frizzles, sizzles and silkies. Wanted some large colored egg layers. Never expected a buff or white EE naked neck! it is like christmas. the other is also yellow. the third is typical chipmunk.

OMG! What is wrong with me!?! I have 11 hens in the coop/run, 9 in the brooder and 15 eggs in the incubator.....and yet when I went to the Tractor Supply, I had to come home with these two cutie EEs. With cheeks like that, who can resist, right? And the craziest thing is that my DH was with me and let me do it!!!

Aww, so cute. I just got my first broody hen ever a ffew days ago. But i am pretty sure that the eggs she is laying on arent going to hatch, because they had been in the coop for a few days, but she is one determined chicken.

 

[Nelson-90]

It doesnt really matter if they have been there for a few days once she sits on them two days later they start developing, do you have roosters?

It takes a while for a hen to gather a clutch of her own eggs, so they are okay sitting around in the coop for a few days. We give Buddy the (freshly laid) eggs all at once when we decided she was serious, but we were experimenting with not segregating her and she had a lot of competition for her nest box and clutch of eggs, and we'd often find her sitting on another clutch in frustration while her own clutch got cold ... we didn't think anything would hatch, but they did. I think it isn't as precise a science as we make it.
