Kenshan1 & vebyrd36 - color pattern as chick has no impact on gender in EEs, with EEs anything goes! It's hard to tell gender on an EE. They are notorious for their tricky ways. Some say the only sure way to know what you have is if it crows or lays an egg.

minnesotachickenbreeder - like your brooder set up. What breed is the broody momma of your EEs? She looks like she's doing a great job.

groaners - love the look of the beautiful pullet that died.

She sure was a looker. I like the variety you have. Nice looking birds. Crystal Meth, lol!

Just found out someone offered my wife a "pure bred" Ameraucanas rooster. She ask if we wanted it. It is supposed to be about three years old and not mean. Don't know about it being "pure" but I think I'll take it anyway. If he is gentle, I'll put him with my EEs, after a few weeks of isolation of course. Then I can incubate some of the EE eggs, see what I end up with.

I love how EE's are so different. Some with somewithout. Yellow or green legs.

Has anyone discovered a correlation between any of it and egg color?

 

[flower]

There have been many here that deny and correlation between leg color and egg color. I have read several different sources that say that pea comb is a often found in birds that carry the blue eggs gene. In my LIMITED experience I have found that a hen with a pea comb IS more often the bird who lays the blue or green egg.

And for some reason I prefer the smaller pea or even walnut comb on all my birds not just the EEs.

If the rooster has a pea comb does that mean he will pass the colored egg gene to his chicks, when crossed?

Here is our new little girl. She is so sweet. My daughter named her Pamela.

I've got what some may consider a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask anyway.
I have an ee roo that has a buttercup comb, have no idea what else is in him. What are the chances he would pass colored eggs when crossed?
