Are those a light PLUM colored egg?? WOW. I can't wait to get colored eggs. I am still trying to find the best place to order EE hens.

Hi all,

I just finished setting up my EE flock. Here is my decrowed roo Whitey ( my 4yr old son named him).

Here are a couple of his girls.

He has 6 ladies right now and 4 more in the brooder for next year. I am hopefully adding in some leghorns x lavender americuana as well (eggs in the bator).

I just had my most successful hatch ever. 27 chicks from a full incubator of eggs (auto turner so that should be 41 eggs). 2 had to have help hatch at the end. 2 ended up infertile. 2 quit early. Those 4 didn't even make it to lock down. Eggtopsy reavealed 1 that didn't absorb yolk, 2 were "juicy" and the rest made it to the end and looked normal yet didn't make out for some reason (2 externally pipped but didn't continue and I don't know why - 1 was wrong end but he still made an opening so he was able to breath then but that was as far as he went). I'll have to get photos of all my fluffy babies. I've got chicks of many colors, some with extra fluffy cheeks, some with colored legs and some with orange/yellow legs. Hard to tell about combs on heads that are so little. They hatched out starting Wednesday (last 4 out today and still in the incubator) and some of them are already growing little wing feathers.

Decrowed?Did he have any complications?
Not getting on your case, purely curious! We cant have roos here for that reason.

Exciting! I could tell my roo apart from my ladies at 4 weeks (I think he was an early bloomer). He started crowing about a week ago, at 9 weeks. You should know soon hopefully!
We had to rehome mine, due to city ordinances. He's cruising around on some land now, with lots of ladies

Brookshire11,
I buy them post surgery from a vet here on BYC. I actually have 2 Whitey and Daryl (splash bantam). Roosters aren't allowed in my subdivision either but the neighborhood doesn't even know I have them. Some scoff at altered roosters but I'm proud to own them. It is a great thing for the suburban chicken owner.

Amazing Madonna our EE is 14yrs old and just layed 2 eggs. Her hormones kicked in with the 2 new Light Brahma chicks ( Carmen & Miranda ) that I put outside in the daytime. She is such a good Hen! Love her!
