I think chickens will try to hatch golfballs if they could, I don't see a problem with using her as a surrogate mom.

Yes they will try . 50+ years ago grandma had a silkie hen that would get into a box of porcelain insulators for electric fence . She would spend most of the summer in there trying to hatch them . When found grandma would give her some real eggs to hatch .

Dianne88 - I'd like to know what the lineage behind the straight comb chick from a green egg was? Sounds interesting!




Once you get to studying color genetics alot of things make since...
Basically there are 3 colors in a chicken...White, black and red (which genetically is gold...I think??)
All the rest come from modifications to those in some way, shape or form.
Then there are pattern genes...
When you know that stuff, you can look at a bird, and kind of tell what its got in it, and then know what it will "throw"....kind of!

When you think that you have it alllll fingered out real good, you will get it eggzactry wrong!
LOL

Its not confusing at all, except that grey is black +blue so it is called blue, but blue+blue= splash, but true blue is Lavendar and gold is red, and a white bird has another color hiding underneath it, sometimes, and black edging is not lacing, and .....yeah OK!! lol

I was thinking Cream Legbar maybe???
 
Hello fellow EE's lovers! Thought I would stop in and post some pic's of our EE. They are 14 1/2 weeks old, not laying yet.

Honey - she is shy and doesn't like to be caught or held.

- Isis -! She is shy and doesn't like to be caught or held much.

- gretchen - she is shy but getting friendlier with work.

- Little One - she was sick upon arrival and I gave her two crickets and hand watered her and she survived. She is super friendly, follows me around and love to be picked up.
700
- yet to be named, she is very shy.

Loved all the pic's and stories. Seems like they are either shy or friendly and boy do people love em!
 
Here are my 3 EE hens. All came from Murray McMurray

Only one has a not so friendly personality and that is Sassy.





I handled them all from the time they arrived and she was always a defensive biter. She only does this during handling which isn't so bad.

My next two are pretty awesome.

Hawk -




and Mocha. She was a cream colored chick that is now more red than cream.





I honestly purchased them because I wanted some "colored" eggs for the fun of it. :)
