The EE braggers thread!!!

Here is the bunch of EE's I got from Cackle hatchery..They are now 9 weeks old, Just wanted to show the colors so far...


one of my pullets

My roo..the black and white one and some of his lady friends

she says....Really? put me down, I am not impressed!

2 more girls

I love her colors she is so pretty...the hen beside her is a mutated Bantam OE, so small she is half the size of my smallest bantam and she is 8 months old..I am not sure what happend to her, why she is so small.

another pretty hen
 
I haven't had time to catch up on this thread today with my work schedule, but here are a few of my EE's eating a block of frozen squash! (20 wks here, from Cackle. They are 23 currently and not yet laying... starting to get combs/redness though!)

 
I may be a little late on this subject, but all of mine laid before 25 weeks

Amazing! Mine are all 22 weeks from Estes Hatchery. This gives me lots of hope that I will start to see green or blue eggs before Thanksgiving!
 
I was told and sold these as Pure Bred Lavender Blue Araucans, but now that Ive looked at them im not too sure- the lady sold them to me for Australian $40.00 for both of them(I live in Australia). Have i paid to much for them??? Sorry they look a bit scruffy, but nothing a little care and new molt wont change. One laid me a Lavender Blue egg yesterday which i was very happy with so thats one point to pure bred and they are a slate color and have slate legs so that another 2 points, just not sure on feathering, it is like down or silkie feathering and the comb is really strange.





















Hen 1 is in the nesting box and hen 2 is the one standing up she is much bigger.

Any squatting for you yet?

My girls had ancestors in McMurray. I think they are fifth generation here... Maybe the breeder selected for early eggs.. Not quite sure.. But they all lay - though I'm sure a couple are hiding them somewhere... I've only had one perfect 4 blue egg day from them.. However, that day assured me all 4 were laying prior to week 25 :woot


First egg was at 21 weeks.

Definitely not Ameraucana as they would not fit the standard, but very unusual.. I have seen silkie feathered Ameraucanas, though they did not have crests.
