The EE braggers thread!!!

[insanity]

This is one like those (oddly also named Hawk) from Privett. I got her last spring.

The elusive black and white female EE from a hatchery, several would probably like to know which hatchery.

Meyers Hatchery in Ohio.

I don't have a lot of experience with them.
This is my first set of birds, and I just HAD to have chicks..in January. Post was delayed by a storm.
I lost 9 out of my 15 within 48 hrs. These were my only 2 EE girls left.
They had great customer service though...'m sure it's not a problem in the summer
My roo was also black and white, with some red.

My EE came from Meyers too, but I didn't get any b/w females at all. All mine arrived safely (one died in transit and one the first day) but they had sent a few extra so I had all I bought. Healthy, happy, pretty birds that all laid colored eggs.

If I were going to order from a hatchery again, I would definitely order from them.

Eggs at 15 weeks?
That's pretty rare isn't it?

Glad to know my experience wasn't the norm!
They were so nice, I wanted to be able to give them more business.
I didn't have any extras, but I hadn't wanted a ton to begin with. And out of my 6 that were left, only was a 1 cockerel, so I can't complain!
And my remaining birds have been healthy and friendly. I'm very happy with them.

Yes 15 weeks is a bit rare I would have been happy with 25 weeks but that is why I put them
in little cages by themselves two hens to a cage to keep an eye on them and bang egg's
started to appear about every 3rd or 4th day so I am delighted

Quote: She does, but you can see in this picture that the bottom of her feet are yellow, not pink/white, making her an EE. She (along with her black and gold sister) actually just started laying me beautiful blue eggs. Love these girls.

My babies have been outside for a week now. I so miss hearing all their little peeps in the house. Any thoughts on gender?

Edit - These pics are horrible! I didn't notice until they were up loaded from my phone - I'll have to get better ones!

I think the dark ones a roo...

They all have greenish legs. I can't wait to get some eggs. I just hope there are some hens. This is my second batch of spring chicks. The last one was ALL males.

The dark one looks like a male to me. The white one looks like a pullet and I am not sure about the one in between.
