The EE braggers thread!!!

Not sure where he will go! He has a deluxe suite in a rabbit cage now with roosts and so forth. I have two seperate flocks each with a rooster .....

That almost looks Photo Shopped. Luv his color.

Nope. Don't know how to do that. I bought him and the others at Tractor Supply as "Ameracaunas." I thought they were just too cute to leave the store w/ out them. He is very nice to my 2 kids, and seems to crow to say "hello" whenever he sees us

My 4 month old EE roo. He is now with 3 BR hens (10 month old) to make olive egg chicks

LOL maybe but not one _ bless his little heart - based on a cross beak roo!
But trust me the thought crossed my mind - plus i think he is a bantam

An EE over a BR will not produce olive egg laying offspring. You need a dark egg layer somewhere in the mix to get olive colored eggs. A Marans, Welsummer or Penedesenca would work though.

Inkheart,
that's right, the crossed beak...ok, a 3rd pen with your over-the-hill girls and eggs just for eating...? i'm trying.....if i were closer i'd take him.....poor little guy.

No no i will figure it out - he is in a large cage now with all the amenities and is happy - talks away at me and i go in and pick him up and love on him. Like i said i have always wanted some EE's jsut not this way! grrrr. I mean even if i didnt keep him - finding a nice place for a roo let alone a cross beak is near impossible - i am the only sucker out there for that one!
