The EE braggers thread!!!

Saw 2 of my month old chicks crow this AM, they sounded like squeeky toy.

Guess that means I have a least 2 roos, might have 1 or 2 more.

My EE's turned out to be at the top of the pecking order, except for my crossbeak. One of my new chicks (3-4 weeks old) even bit her on the head, she's so low on the order.

Quote:
My EE are too and we had pamel,a our blue, was at the top and then we introduced two barred rocks and an EE (cross between an Ameracauna/Buff Orpington) The only issues were between the EE. Apparently the Buff EE was on top of her flock of pol pullets and so Pamela had to let her know who was boss!

How interesting. Mine are nearly 9 weeks old and they are the top dogs too. Out of the 4 roos 2 are EEs (the prettiest too) and the others just act like hens around them. I hope they are nice to me and the girls cause both of them were both surprises. I only got the Cochin on purpose. Does anyone have GOOD EE roo stories?

Don't know if mine officially qualifies as a Roo yet, he is just 6 months old, a mistake in a sexed female order. But so far he a great, a perfect gentleman to both me and the girls. I think he is either intrigued, fascinated or in love w/ my red hair. Whenever I go into the run to do anything he is right there w/ me staring at my hair and everytime my head gets close enough he reaches out to touch my hair.

His name is Oreo and he is handsome to boot

my "oops" EE roo was the sweetest on of the flock. i had to rehome him at 11 wks. as my stinky neighborhood doesn't allow roos.

He definitely was my favorite. very sweet and friendly. a cuddle buddy. he got a little aggressive once and took hold of my finger and wouldn't let go. i flattened my hand and held it in front of his face then smacked him in the chest (not hard) and he thought about doing it again....stinker. i held my hand flat, in front of his face until he tried again and smacked his chest again, a bit harder. that seemed to do the trick. if he had stayed around it may have become a problem, i suppose, but the rest of the time, he was in my lap, or on my shoulder being a real sweet boy.

Ooohhhh I love photos. Oreo is pretty. Im grateful of anyone who wants to tell me good roo stories. There is a rash of evil roo reports right now as we can see and Im freaked!
