The EE braggers thread!!!

[Simmonsfunnyfrm]

I am glad to find a place where EE's are celebrated & not snubbed. My first every broody hen hatched chicks! Here are some pictures of Candy Cane's offspring:

See, that's one reason I love this breed! All those very different and colorful chicks have the same daddy! You never know what you're gonna get! Lovely

Hello,
I have a question for you EE fans. What size are EEs eggs? I have 3 EEs.....2 pullets and a Roo. Plus I have a 1 yr. old mixed flock of 12 standard girls. My EE girls just laid their first eggs the other day which was exciting. One was a pale, pale blue and the other an olive green. I know the fist several eggs are on the smaller side but these seemed smaller than the ones I remember from my other flock......like Bantam size....AKA: wind farts! I've read where they lay medium sized eggs or does that vary on what type of mixture they are?

I remember my 3 EE girls from 20 years ago laying largish eggs in blue and green. My neighbor gave us some eggs, and the EEs' are what I would call "large" (compared to X-lrg eggs purchased from the store). Certainly larger than her Ancona eggs, which are medium at best. Tasty, though!

Still waiting for my pullet to start.

I think it would really depend on what is in the mix. I had 2 EE that laid jumbos most of the time. I also have some that lay med - large. I don't have any that lay small eggs. I am working on JUMBO eggs. I LOVE BIG BLUE eggs for breakfast!

Here's my babies from this year. Still working on names for a lot of them. Their daddy is the Roo in my avatar pic & momma's are Black Olive Eggers.

Lovely birdies. You know I do not think that I have ever seen an ugly EE or OE. Bleenie, isn't funny to se all those colors from black hens ? The bird in the third picture is very interesting looking with the dark and light contrasts.

Too funny! My EE is named Candy Cane too.

Thank You for the replies to my question about egg size. I'll have to pm the breeder I got them from to see what he can tell me. Here are a couple of pics I'd like to share.
