I have been gone and catching up on posts.Saw some posts about broodies.Here is a bantam EE broodie with lots of chicks.She hatched some but most are from the incubator.She is a excellent protector of chicks.She will come at you like a fighting cock to protect her chicks.Not for everyone but I admire her spirit.She is really a light brown ameraucana project color.

Sounds like she is a great mom! I can't wait until I have another EE or ameraucana go broody so they can set on eggs for me. They always get a better hatch rate than I do!

I love my sweet EE but was so disappointed after waiting 5 months to see what her egg color would be, blue, green or even pink....I ended up with a beige just like my speckled sussex egg. I so wanted a colored egg. she is the most friendliest of our flock though. oh well.-lisa

Yes, they are sweet birds, but the mystery (what they will look like, the color of their egg) to me is part of the fun!

4 week(ish) EE. Pullet or Roo? I initially thought pullet because the tail feathers came in very quickly! Wish these guys were easier to sex!

Here are some more photos... EE's make life interesting, for sure!

Here is my little Olive Egger roo. He is scared to death of everything even me when on the ground but once I put him on my shoulder her is all cool. His name is Redwing. He is a Ameriacauna/Marans. My problem is when he gets big enough to crow. I am not supposed to have roosters.
