The EE braggers thread!!!

There are many that claim they can sex any chick be wing feathers at a day old. I am not one. I have tried it and am right around 50% of the time.

Right! I try feather sexing my sexlink Easter Eggers at a day old. It's hardly ever accurate.

I wasn't going to keep a cockrel, but I'm hooked on these! If he stays polite, we'll see what their babies look like next year. The fourth pullet is laced gray (sort of birchen?) with the pale neck, and no red leakage. Mary

I've always thought it would be fun to try breeding. We currently don't have a roo, but maybe eventually. Good luck with it!

Very pretty! Curious as to why you chose bantam over lf? Mine are for eggs and it seems the bantam eggs would be too small. Do you find the personalities any different?

I have standard sized EEs and like them very much. I've always had Belgian d'Uccles, and enjoy the little eggs, so adding some blue/ green little eggs works fine for me. Very cute at Easter! These EEs started out pretty wild as little chicks, but are mellowing out now that they are a little older. SO FAR both cockrels are polite, but time will tell. Mary Some other chicks this year

Your little momma is very pretty and it looks like she takes good care of her babies. Edited to delete the hiccup duplicates.
