I love the fact that my husband is such an enabler!! He suggested that I let my broody hen, Snowflake, sit on some EE eggs... she's now in the basement in a space all her own, with her nest full of eggs. She's a happy camper now!!!

Aw cute!! Hope all goes well!I love the fact that my husband is such an enabler!! He suggested that I let my broody hen, Snowflake, sit on some EE eggs... she's now in the basement in a space all her own, with her nest full of eggs. She's a happy camper now!!!
I can join (hopefully)!!! Almost two weeks ago, I picked up two EE's from my feed store! Their names are Pippy and Hazel. Pippy has a very strong personality, and Hazel is calm, but sometimes gets a bit excited. I love 'em already!

Ooohh. Interesting. I was wondering about that because I noticed all the pretty EEs had white earlobes too. Leghorns have red, I believe. The splash ones are very pretty.
As for keeping the blue egg color in future generations, if you can't use a pure Ameraucana as suggested, make sure you keep any brown egg genes out of the lineage unless you want green eggs.
Leghorns have white earlobes too. But I am thinking that the black birds are from the Andalusian too. They could be like black Analusians with some other colors showing through from underneath. Also, those white birds might not be splash. They could be white from the white leghorn with other colors bleeding through. It's really hard to say from sure though, haha.
We sure are. Someone posted some pictures of some above.Are you guys talking 'bout EEs with white earlobes?
