The EE braggers thread!!!

[Hens and Roos]

Here are our 2 bantam EE's-Blue and Mort. We also have 2 babies that we hatched out in Feb and are still waiting to see what we end up with-pretty sure one is a boy and hope the other is a girl.



These are close up of the 2 babies: we think the first is a boy and the second is a girl

I will be getting two EE chicks the end of April, along with a Barred Rock chick. Hoping for girlies, of course, only because the laws here are no good when it comes to Roo's. Though they are beautiful!! I am mostly hoping for layers/pets, and so far I am read EE's seem to be very friendly. Anywho, I will post pictures as soon as they come home! I just finished the coop/run today, and now just need a heat light and we should be good to go!

This is my first time ever ... HATCHING! The new homemade bator must work just fine cuz I got 5 chicks and 2 more pips! KatyTheChickenLady, of the 12 you sent, 6 made it to lockdown. Of those 6 eggs, 2 have hatched (1 Goldilocks and 1 Red Riding Hood) and the Big Daddy egg has pipped! I'm waiting waiting for some action from the one from Roy and 2 from Little Baby. Most of the other eggs I set will be EE's too from evonne. I have 1 EE X EE hatched and 2 EE X BR hatched with a EE X RIR pipped. I'm sooooo excited! They are too cute for words.

My two new chicks -- out of an order of 8 from Estes I got a gorgeous assortment. First one is almost all yellow with light V (wings are coming in white) and second is very blue. I'll update when they're older

Let me just say thanks to both KatyTheChickenLady and evonne. You guys are awesome. This was a real great experience and I can hardly wait to try again ... mainly because most of the ones I wanted to hatch the most, didn't! I got a 50% hatch of what went into lockdown from both egg suppliers. I must try again! But really, thanks, I couldn't have done it without your knowledge, experience, encouragement and your EGGS!!! I love these chicks and my sister is also soooo very happy!

This is the PEEP SHOW ... my indoor only for about a week if they don't drive me crazy sooner brooder!

ETA: The Bator!

Goodnite! Sweet dreams everyone!
