The EE braggers thread!!!

[CorvidLady]

@CorvidLady I LOVE your hen Ivy. I have an EE cockerel that is EE roo crossed with golden laced sebright bantam hen. And then I have,I think,two EE hens,one f1 removed and one f2 removed.. The mother(f1) of the removed hen is a cross between a light Brahma roo and an EE hen. And then the offspring(f2),which was the other removed hen,was a cross between the Brahma EE cross hen and and a light Brahma roo. I also have a removed(f2) cockerel of the same cross,but I won't be able to keep him,I'm only keeping the sebrigh EE cross cockerel and my two hens.

Thank you! Ivy has a full, younger sister that looks nearly identical to her. I can only tell them apart up close, as Ivy has some very sparse/shoddy black "lacing" (more like flecking) on her back, while her sister, Slade, does not.

@CorvidLady are ivy and her sister EE's that you hatched? I would love to know what you crossed to get them. She is SO pretty. I still have to post pictures of mine. My roo is GORGEOUS. He is a real looker.

The blue on that buff shade is very unique. She's a pretty colour!

I have about 6 with that shade. I should get one of the ones with better blue....

Yes, I hatched them out of eggs from a GLW roo over my Wheaten Ameraucana hen.
The roos from that pairing were gorgeous, too. I re-homed them all, unfortunately, as I don't have enough room or hens for the amount if cockerels that we hatched. :/
Only one hatched out with no beard or muffs, and I hung onto him for awhile before deciding to let him go. I think I have a photo somewhere.

I have EEs from cackle and some that I got from tsc (which I believe are supplied by ideal) They are all great birds but the cackle birds are definitely larger, more dual purpose looking. The TSC have the lighter, layer, body type. Both lay well.

Those are pretty cockerels,except @mymilliefleur ,I think that he used creme Legbars in t cross for both,except the one cockerel turned out more ameraucana like,and the other turned out more Legbars like,but I see where you're coming from with the leghorn. But omg, those are really pretty cockerels @jerryse .

The bottom one is from light brown leghorn hen and Legbar rooster . The top one is probably 1/4 Legbar . He has a pea comb and beard .

@CorvidLady did you use a pure wheaten ameraucana hen? That roo is really pretty too.
@jerryse I figured with the crele patterning that they had creme legbar in them,because the crepe is basically barring,except with different colors added in,and the barring tends to be stronger with genetics,at least that's what I've noticed.

We are new to keeping chickens and love all our girls but I have to say my EE, Gwynnie is my favorite. They are so pretty and I cant wait to see what color eggs she will lay!

Yes. I wish I had taken more photos of the other cockerels after they had matured a bit.
That particular roo really favoured his sire.
