The EE braggers thread!!!

Hello, Easter Egger lovers!

I am using head spots mostly . I know what is in the mix on the hens . I know where I want to go on these . I will select towards crele . At this point not everyone can sex them . Of the 2 light males 1 is pure and one is hybrid . Two hybrid males are dark . My guess is they did not inherit cream or perhaps they have some melanizers .

Here is my EE hen, Tamale. She is almost 2 years old & she is the boss hen around here.



Here she is checking out my new pullets in the tractor:



I don't know what to call her color, she is some kind of black/blue brown Columbian! Her color came in very nicely after her molt.

There used to be a page on the Ameraucana Breeders website that told the story of them. Well basically it told the story anyway it tells the way to tell the difference between the EE, Ameraucana, and Araucana.

Yes, I have read that article. Very interesting!

Today's new egg, the cream one is new and so is the olive one. I have no clue who laid it as the hen sitting on them lays light light pastel blue eggs, and her friend that i bought together lays light green eggs.

Below is the olive egg next to the others. It came from a different hen correct? They dont lay light colors then a totally darker one correct?

Yep, definitely from a different hen. No shade variation going on there. Congrats!

That's what i thought. Now to figure out which EE it is. One lays the light green, one pastel blue, one cream(3 black hens)
I doubt my 2 bantam EE's laid that big egg, they are too small. I have 6 EE 's and ruled out two lol

X2! With that size it may be a double yolker.
