So beautiful, I can't wait until mine start laying. I hope they are as lovely as yours!

Thanks! June didn't begin laying till about 40 weeks old. When she started, though, she began with whopper eggs! I feel bad for her sometimes because she strains and groans and moans when she lays them.

Here are my 3 EEs:
Mojo a roo that is a cross between an EE and OEGB

Stripes a hen that lays blue/green eggs

Lily a hen who lays white/light brown eggs

Here is a picture of some of my hens eggs (These eggs are getting ready to go in the incubator)

We have a mix of EE's from Ideal first, then from McMurray. And we have some we hatched ourselves also. Our first roo my oldest named 'Mike Rowe' in honor of a Dirty Jobs episode that had chickens. Then we were suppose to get some EE pullets only from McMurray.....and ended up with one roo. He is named Mo. All of ours lay a nice blue to blue/green egg. I also have a Marans/EE roo that is cuckoo feathered that I may cross in to make olive eggers/creoles. He spent a few nights out not wanting to be caught and somehow injured his leg. He walks with a marching salute now on one leg, so we named him Hilter.

Many of my riding students love to see him walk. He is becoming famous around here.

Anyhow, here are some of our birds....
Mike Rowe with two of his women...Easter and Sabrina....

Mr. Mo..... he has a redish orange layer of feathers with a blue under coat so to speak....

And Mo with Gracie. Gracie is one we hatched. She lays a very pretty green egg.

This is (was) my EE, Mabel. She went missing on Christmas Eve, and we haven't seen her (or evidence of her) since.

To my surprise, she layed a beige speckled egg. I was really hoping for blue or green.

Set some test eggs from my gals crossed with several of my extra Marans cockerals....can't wait.....could be BCM daddy, Bl-CM daddy or splash daddy......should be fun to see what we get.
