The EE braggers thread!!!

I took a break from a full spring of hatching AMs and decided to hatch a batch of EEs just for fun. I forgot how exciting it is just to see how many different colors pop up, and what high hatch rates they have. My EEs always hatch at 90% plus

Sweet little puffballs. Nice mix. It will be interesting to see the final versions.

Sunday I installed three additional nesting boxes in Coop Med (Where the Hen Party Never EndsTM) and 14' of additional roosting space for the Bigs to share. Then I moved my 6 Tweens (EE pullets, 6 weeks old) and the Peeps (61 assorted 4-week olds) out of the brooder tenement and into what is now the grow-out coop. I am LOVING the development of the little EEs.

The older/larger Bully Pullets,on the highest roosting bar.





I'd have more pics but they are racing around like fluffy little lunatics in their new space.

Sounds like a productive day

I hatched chicks again this week, many are blue egg laying EE's.


Here is a picture of them, There are EE's, CLB's, SS's, BA's and a couple toads in the mix. I only sold 9 so I have 31 left for me, unless I get lucky and sell some.


These guys are so cute, So many beautiful EE's I assume they will be roosters.

That's a lot of adorable chicks. I foresee problems in my future as I want an EE of each color.

Um, there are no EE "colors" they can be ANYTHING. Every EE you get can be different. Have you considered moving into the coop and giving the house over to the chickens??

Yeah, but isn't the mystery of how they'll turn out fun? Naw, I've got A/C in the house.

Are you implying you do not have A/C in your coop?

That is just inhumane!

YES! But to have "one of every color" could mean hundreds of birds. I think my limit would be somewhat below that

You're thinking too small...

The world needs a compendium all All Easter Egger Colorations.
