The EE braggers thread!!!

I have 14 EEs (all 17 weeks old and not laying yet) and this one is the only one who has feathered out with this coloring. Is she what you would call a blue wheaten? Her tail feathers and beard are a beautiful lavender gray color - not sure it shows up super well on these pics:

JamJam my 2 1/2 yr Hen is missing. She left us 2 new eggs under the bushes on the hillside, but we can't find her or any signs of her being taken . Madonna was with her and she is fine at 14yrs old she was having a dirt bath .

So sorry. Its always hard to lose one.

He's looking quite handsome.

She is very pretty, but she isn't anywhere close to Blue Wheaten either visually or genetically. She is Blue Partridge with a black head.

7 hatched on day 18. Still waiting on 20 or so more eggs to hatch. EE roo over 1 EE, 5 Red Sex link, and 2 Barred rock. 4 blue eggs hatched so 4 "pure" EEs - I think the pale grey in the upper left corner, and the 2 dark brown chicks (far top and far bottom) will be the potential blue egg layers because I had chicks 7 weeks ago look just like that from a hatch of only blue eggs. I think the red/brown striped chicks are from sex link eggs (of course I don't think it's a sex link chick) and the solid black one might be from Barred Rock (future green eggs). That leaves the more solid looking brown as my other potential blue egger. That is of course assuming they are all girls. My last hatch of blue eggs got me 5 boys and one girl.

Thanks! I didn't really think she was blue wheaten, but I had absolutely no idea what else to call it. Blue partridge. I like it!

Sorry to hear that. I hope she finds her way back home.

thank you, I think a predator got her. I found those baby butt feathers going up the hill, not a lot but not normal for my yard...
