The EE braggers thread!!!

[puredelite]

Marble's is one fine roo! Is he the offspring of two EE's or a product of crossing an EE with something else? Looks like he does have olive green legs (which I like!) He kinda resembles my EE roo,they both have the same body type. Just a little bit different color tho.

puredelite. I don't know his parentage. I bought him as a youngster, as a pullet (not) and as an ameracauna (not)

he does have the slate/green legs. he throws some strong blue egg laying genes around, as with the peacomb. he's very very good that way. good genes this fella.

awe, thanks , I won't tell him though, his ego is plenty big enough for a bird his size.

Does anybody have a very old strain of the wild type Easter Eggers?

For example:

Note the high, sporty carriage; elongated neck; tight feathering; inquisitive, not skittish. This beauty is, in my mind, an ideal specimen for the founding matriarch of my line. I'm looking for more stock (hatching eggs) of similar type.

Medicine Man, How old is she? She does look sporty.

She's gorgeous! But has a new color. . . Are we talking old strain of Easter Eggers, or actual Quechua? Because she looks honestly to me like the very first stock Ideal Hatchery got - Blue Wheatens with the nice, elongate necks and slender but beautiful looking bodies and decent sized tails. . .

Wow, medicineman, funny timing on your part; I just hopped over here from the Araucana thread where a woman just posted a photo of her 20 year old bird who is hatched out of pure stock direct from Chile. Here's a link if your interested https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=288425. It's about one page back at the moment. Very interesting stuff. You hen there is very pretty.

My girl Cleo has similar patterning to your described wild type. She was supposed to be a BLRW, big oops on the breeders part. She is easily spooked but loves to be held. I don't think she is as tall as your bird or has a neck as long as yours but her body is tight and thin.

Somewhere back in the thread, when she was a chick, I thought she was going to be leopard printed This is what she looked like as a chick.
