Got my first bantam EE egg last week! A beautiful shade of green! I am hoping my other bantam EE will lay blue!


(Silkie egg, Buff Orpington egg, and the EE egg on the end! The pic takes away the color a bit)

love my blue eggs lol they are so pretty

Why are you repeat posting other people's posts? Especially the original one for the thread 9,000 posts ago?

And since I'm typing, PLEASE do not post a bunch of individual "oh pretty" type replies, especially if you aren't going to quote the original. If you want to reply to multiple posts, click the "multi" button on all but one and click the "quote" button on the last one. Then you can reply to them all in one post.

And, since I'm sure you've seen it done, please delete unnecessary parts of a post you quote, especially all the pictures of pic heavy posts. All the extra stuff makes following the forums take so much more effort.

Thanks,
Bruce

I am just curious, my EE's have beards but they don't seem near as full as some of the pics on here. Does the fullness come with age or are the EE's on here with full face of feathers have a beard AND muffs/tufts(or whatever they are called) Just interested as ever since I saw an EE with a black beard I have wanted one so I could call her black beard and yeay surprise my EE chick has a BLACK BEARD!!!! BUT she doesn't look like it's going to be one of those nice full beards.

It depends on the bird. I have two bantam EEs. One has a small, yet neat, black beard. It is not big, but has a perfect little shape! My other EE however, has this fluffy blue and cream beard, with big muffs. My dad calls her "fluffy face". Some have muffs, some don't. Some have big beards, some have small, yet some have no beards! It's really just luck of the draw. My other two EEs who have new homes, also had different beards. One had a very small, scraggly, thin, messy beard. My other had a thin beard, but huge muffs that curled around her eyes! Each beard is different in its own way (if they have one)!
