Katy,
A few weeks ago I read through this whole thread and have subscribed after that. I'm glad your back on here.

We'd love to hatch some eggs next year if one of our girls turn broody. :) What fun to have Roy's offspring all over. Of course we take tons of pictures.

Not great pics , it was too hot to do anything other than take three quick snapshots LOL . These are future breeders for large EE . I took them before their daily feeding so the breasts on the CX would show meat only instead of an expanded crop .

These are all 15 and 1/2 weeks . First pic is of two CX cockerals in the corner , a pullet profiled running along with some white laced red Cornish , and EEs and others in the background .

Second is of three EE pullets in the center flanked by CX .

Third is really poor pic of the 10 week old blue / black / splash Ameraucanas .

Just wanted to post a picture of a young EE rooster I raised.
This rooster is off of my Grey Junglefowl X phoenix hybrid rooster and my buff ameraucana x phoenix hen.
I am planning on breeding him to my EE hens, (asil x rir X buff amer. x phoenix).
He is (dun) golden duckwing --or pretty close. Definitely dun.

Sorry the picture is blurry. He is real skittish so I have to zoom way in.
I love the lacing on his chest.

PPP - thanks so much! I will put you on the waiting list, keep me in mind come spring!

Steve - I'm really liking your WLRC . . . I wish I had a roo . . . dang it!

WCL - My gosh you are going a great direction, LOVE your birds. It doesn't look like your roos have beards, do the hens from this cross? What is your goal?

This rooster has a beard, and a few of the hens do to. My goal really has a lot more to do with the Grey junglefowl genes than it does the EE genes, but I want the end product to have beard and muff, pea comb, and lay green eggs, but also to be longtails and have fibromelanosis and have (this is the Grey part) those nice pointed shiny feathers in the breast (almost like hackle/saddle feathers.) It is coming along slowly.
I guess honestly I will eventually add the duplex comb gene that cropped out of another line of the junglefowl hybrids.

Thank you! She is wonderful. I am hoping for a colored egg from her, but really I like her personality so much I am sure I will be happy whatever color the egg is. She hasn't gotten red in the face yet, very unlike her Barred Rock coop buddy lol! And I always have to feed her treats seperate because the other 4 chickens BARGE their way to the treats and are so fast, poor Munk gets left in the dust! She is too "ladylike" to barge in, and just politely waits until I give her a treat

Speaking of Munk LOL I just went into the living room to get my soda, and guess who was hanging out on the dinner table?? Munk. With her BR buddy, but they were enjoying the INTERIOR of the house haha. I promptly informed them they are NOT house chickens and needed to skedaddle.

Then they took their sweet time and strolled out, pretending it was THEIR choice..
