The EE braggers thread!!!

Our baby chicks finally arrived. Woo Hoo

X2 debid comment. What a great batch to photograph over time to see the color transformations and end results! Congrats and good luck!

They are 5 different breeds of bantams. 6 Araucanas, 3 Buff Brahmas, 2 porcelain, and 4 game. All bantams.

They are so tiny and cute. Murray McMurray calls the 6 chicks Araucanas.

I sincerely doubt they are Araucanas. Between the breeding challenges of rumplessness and the lethal nature of the tuft gene, actual Araucanas are rare in the US. I don't think there are any hatcheries breeding them. Hatcheries using antiquated naming traditions, OTOH, is a common practice. They're almost certainly bantam Easter Eggers.

I agree debid. But Easter eggers are what I expected from the beginning and I will enjoy them immensely. I lost one in shipping, two shortly after arrival and one last night. Out of the 4 that didn't make it I think one was an Easter egger.

This EE looks like a tiger. So I named it Tiger

This one looked like Snow White and I was going to name it that then it got black feathers in its wings.

One of my favorite things about EEs is the wide variety of patterns/colors. You never know what you might get!

These chicks are the first EEs that I have bought from a hatchery Debid, and they do look uniquely cute.

One of my favorite girls. May have shared, but I am going to post a photo..to see how it works after this modification. So fare, figuring things out isn't too bad! Glad I went to BYH while they were working on here. This EE ..pretty blue in her! Ok, here goes, doing a copy and paste, instead of going into my photos, I saw this in another post I had done. See if this is easier.....

Oh yeah!! I think like doing the upload file too. I am not sure how it will work on the phone..I am on a pc.
