The EE braggers thread!!!

I'm not sure what a proper pea comb is, but these are the combs on my ee girls

Cindy, EE

Sonya, rescue EE

Buffy, BO/Ameracauna cross, so EE

Pamela, EE

Talk about stink eye.............just perfect Pamela, nice beard also. In fact they are all attractive! Since EE are combinations of other breeds their combs will vary greatly.

OOOPs I sure did confuse myself in the previous note here. But pea combs and rose combs look fairly similar unless there is a close up picture.

I have a new green layer!

One of my craigslist barnyard mixes layed a green egg yesterday. Now... who was it?

Isn't that always the puzzle? The bearded one has a single comb. The clean-faced pea-combed pullet is still pale pink. The others look very Leghorn-ish so it's not likely they did it.

Those are some BEAUTIFUL EE's where did you get them?

We actually got this year's lovely ladies (and unintended gentlemen) from a local Amish hatchery called Schrock's Mother Goose hatchery. (And also thanks to everyone for all the comments. I was SO happy with the variety I got this year!

)

Ladyhawk's is a bit rounder than Pretty's.

Here are my young EE's. (5-7 weeks old I think) I got them off a lady on craigslist who apparently bought them all as pullets from McMurray.

Toffee

Hazel

and Jacques. He's definitely a rooster though, look at how much darker his comb is compared to Hazel and Toffee! Not to mention, the 'peas' are much more visible. He's pretty cool though, lol.

Wow I though I needed to share this with my fellow EE followers. My 18 month old EE Ester laid a 95gram egg this morning. The other eggs in the picture are large 58-61 gram eggs.

A regular large egg carton I don't think it fits

Yep that's a boy.





Interesting combs indeed. I don't know what to make of them, honestly. They're probably part rose comb or something. Often pea x rose makes some interesting, weird cushion-like shapes.
