The EE braggers thread!!!

[Rose66]

I have a few . They will become more common due to Crested Cream Legbar and Isbar being used in making EE . Both breeds have single comb and the blue egg gene . I have CCL mixes now . 

So you have CCL mixes that have a single comb and lay blue/green eggs? I would love to see pics of them. You can pm them to me if you want to. I currently have my six EE hens for sale who lay really pretty blue eggs just because I just don't like a pea comb......or rather I just really, really really love a single comb. Maybe I should just get some CCL's or some Isbar chickens. Are their eggs as pretty colored as EE's?

Maryellen21, can you send pics of your single comb EE's too? Do you know if they have CCL or Isbar in them?

X2. I love the pea combs on my birds. They are so much better in winter. If you live in warmer climates it doesn't matter so much, but my CL have very big combs and I used my CL rooster to make what will be my olive eggers when they mature and their combs will be fairly big.(I want to say bigger than their mothers' unfortunately)
I saw somewhere on this forum they are breeding CL with rose combs which for those of us in colder climates is a step in the right direction.
At this point I don't want any more CL.

I understand why you like the pea combs during winter but I live in southeastern Alabama, so frost bite is not an issue for me. You are more than welcome to send all your CL's with their big single combs down here to me and those olive eggers too.

I would take real good care of them.

Right about now I'd trade them for some of your warm temps. Four more days of frigid temps then it is supposed go above freezing. The CL rooster marched out of the run today with two hens traipsing along behind him. They were smarter and when their feet hit snow, did a U turn back to the run. He marched on until he went between the two coops, realized he was alone and sank into the new snow.
Next step, fly out. That didn't work. All the hens were watching from the safety of their runs. Finally he made it out to the path and tromped back to the door to the run.
The OE's are still small and I'm hoping they have less combs and that they're all hens so they have smaller combs still.
