The EE braggers thread!!!

First bantam Ameraucana hatched. It's splash so it must be an EE

1 zipping and 2 more with pips

that's just plain cute

i thought the only reason you don't use blue is confusion?

But you could keep the black laced ones to avoid confusion (only a percent will show blue) Otherwise you may think you have a lavender but only a blue.. The first set of chicks should only be carrying the genes, though, not actually showing the blue So if that's what you have i say just keep the non-blues

Would make it easier to sell the "rejects" that time around too, lots of people like the blue ones

No it is not confusion.... lavs and blues DON'T look alike. To get the best Lavs you need the right genes and those are going to come from a black not a diluted blue.

DMRippy,

we discussed a barred rock rooster fathering white chicks when crossed to a red sex link, you mention all would at least show some barring, and I said I have one white one that doesn't show barring. She does now. You were right!

Hey all,
Haven't been around in a bit. I am soo happppppppyyyy!!!! I now have an EE rooster!! For now I am calling him Road Runner. His first night with us he decided to leave the safety of the fowl yard & got in a scrapper with something. I went out the next morning to feed them and collect eggs -couldn't find him- started looking all over & found a bunch of tail feathers... I was so sad & about to head back in and put the feathers away when I heard a crazy chicken noise, it was him!!!!! He no longer has his glorious tail but I don't care, I'm just happy he now stays in the fowl yard thru the night & sticks close during the day. Hopefully all my ladies will warm up to him soon!
Here he is!

Here are some of my barred EEs. This one has such nice barring for a cross..

This boy is very classic EE boy. Looks like a quilt!

x2! He'll be able to protect himself better when his spurs grow in.

Thank you both!! I fell in love with him them moment I saw him at a friends house up the road - finally after almost 2months she gave in and let me take him. These pictures are after the late night attack too! He had such a full tail before. I am sooooo happy to have him!
