Since I'm here.. thought I'd share my breeding EE boy, Groucho. He had eyebrows when he was young, but doesn't now.. so the name doesn't make much sense




Here is my white girl. I am single breeding her to this fella:


Most of my other girls look like this one. Basic EE pattern. Only blue eggs coming from my EEs except one, who has Rock in her.


This girl lays a nice green egg.

Beautiful pictures and chickens! I have a couple that look similar to your basic one, I hope they both lay green or blue eggs too.

She's even prettier now


This is her half sister. Can you see similarities?

Here is a more recent picture of that EE girl. She is only partially bearded. No wattles

I love the coloring on these EE's! They're such a fun breed to have, you never know what you're going to get. I guess if you hatch your own you can increase your odds maybe for particular traits.

My new girls, 5 are EE's 2 are SFH, and 2 cream leg bars. So eggcited to get some blue eggs. I think I have quite a wait thou...

Yeah they look a little young, but I hope you get some green and blue eggs when they start up. Looks like they are feathering in pretty well.

A few pics from today


So much for hiding the sprout bag!

Pretty chickens! I'm so jealous of everyone with the black and white EE's. Oh well, maybe next time.

Yay! I have one EE squatting now two. My younger 2 EE's are 24 weeks.

We were discussing in another thread about egg colour. Green is said to be white on the inside after you peel back the membrane.

Anyone care to test this? My green egg to the right has a white inside. My EE, NN and other EE egg are all through and through coloured blue.

What color is the shell under the membrane? On some of my lighter blue eggs, the membrane keeps the colors from showing through.

The membrane is removed. May be hard to tell in the first photo, but it is.

I cant remember what the inside of my green eggs look like, my blue eggs are the same through. The olny pic I have taken recently is of my olive eggs, they are light blue inside.

I love you egg pics. Do you have any tips on taking pics to get the true egg color to show?

Thank you

Lighting - try to take the pictures in a very well lit place without flash.

HELP, Easter Egger specialists!!!!

This newbie here (had chickens for less than a week) has two pullets. Today I posted some pics on the Ameraucana thread (trying to find out if they were AMs or EEs), and... Surprise! Some people commented that my girls might be cockerels.

So I came here seeking enlightenment! What do you guys think?

This one here is Shirley (or Sherlock?!)





This one is Betty (or Betto, lol)



Thanks in advance!
