The EE braggers thread!!!

[Simmonsfunnyfrm]

The white one looks like a pullet to me. I can't see saddle or hackle feathers, and her comb isn't huge. How old are they? I kinda think the red one could be a pullet too, but I might think different if it's younger than I think. I've had pullets that color, anyway...

Here are the new EE's that I got Saturday.


This rooster will go back through the sale next time. Way too much white on the neck and I don't care for the red leakage on the black wings. Single comb and no beard. I feel like EE rossters should be bearded.


This was the best shot I could get of this rooster. I really like his coloring, but again I will put back through the next sale. Single comb and no beard.


I really like the coloring of this pullet. I've never had an EE that looked like this. She's a keeper I think. Her comb is single in front and peacomb in the back, although she has no beard, I think she'll work for me since my rooster will have a beard.

I also got another pullet that I didn't phograph because she was acting crazy. Maybe later.

I bought these thinking they were rumpless, but after I got them caught up and checked they are going to be tailed, they just lost their tail feathers. They sure looked rumpless the way that the wings and saddle feathers were hanging. Oh well, rumpless will come later.

How old are they?

They are around 10 weeks. The pic of the white one makes its legs appear larger than they are. As of now everyone's legs seem to be about the same size. I will try to get better pics. Thanks

One of my B/B/S AM's. I consider them EE's, though. Not sure on genders yet... Kind of excited to get some splashes next year! And possibly phoenix crossed EE's

Afternoon everyone, Well My babies are 20 weeks and 2 days and 2 of the 3 are laying, 1 is a beautiful green blue egg, So today I sat out there and got the surprise of my life !!!
The pullet laying that pretty little egg is my SLW/ EE cross, I thought for sure the tan egg was hers, the other 2 pullets are from Fileen and Graybread, my 2 EE's.

So I have a genetics questions for you experts......... WTH? how did this happen?
I was under the assumption that in order for an EE to lay Blue/green eggs, she had to inherit a colored egg gene from both her parents? Well Graybeard is a splash wheaten wildtype with a pea comb, and Fileen is ? for color tan and grays, pea comb, but she herself lays a very lite almost pink egg, so I was hoping she still carried the gene and bred back to gray beard her brother, well same hatch, probably same rooster, that I would get at least 2 pullets that would give me a colored egg.............. well now that I see Lacy laying that egg, I'm shocked, and I'm quite sure that she is my SLW chick because I only took 1 egg from Shimmer, and Lacy has her comb and body type, with black lacy looking feathers and not a pea comb????????????? I'm so confused......Help

One blue egg gene is all it takes

Blue eggs are dominate, one copy or two will give you blue eggs. Brown eggs are just added in the mix to make green. If you are still guess who laid the brown egg.... maybe pepper... she has a odd pea comb.
