I thought I would show how my first hatch of EE chicks turned out, starting with the cockerels! I will show them all - but I'm finding that it takes a lot a time to get good photos of them all! I really am pleased with how they look - I can hardly take my eyes off of the cockerels, especially, but the pullets are gorgeous, too. I'm tempted to keep one or two of them, but most are looking for homes if I can find flocks for them. (If anyone is interested, just PM or email me.) These are all from a clean-faced, white sport of wheaten ameraucana rooster from halo and EE hens that laid either a green or blue egg.
First the red ones: "Antonio"
"Fabio" - I love the "blond" hackles and the blue edged with red tail.
A blue splash - I suspect the mother of this one and the next was a blue "OE" that was also from halo's eggs - a blue rock X EE breeding. The hen lays a green egg.
Had to put an extra photo of this one in, because I love the shading on the feathers!
I suspect this one was from a black "OE" also from halo's blue rockXEE eggs; the mom laid a green egg and had a muff and beard.
Another one with lots of blue in the tail - I need to check with halo to see if the rooster actually came from a blue wheaten ameraucana breeding - there seems to be lots of blue in the chicks, but I only had the one blue hen.
