The EE braggers thread!!!

[flower]

I changed my mind about the GL wyandotte. I looked again and the bird is not penciled nor with good lacing. So I would now GUESS that it is a mix from the the mixed colored Ameraucana flock. In other words it is a EE and I still do think that it a male. Do you have pictures of the chicks that hatched with this one ?

This one hatched from an Ameraucana egg, definitely a cockerel

Same bird, body shot you can see he has the typical patchy color to his wings.


A pullet I believe, also hatched from an ameraucana egg.

And her body shot, more uniform in color.


This is the only one I know for sure hatched from a wyandotte egg, he's without a doubt a cockerel.


The bird in question has a slightly raised comb, it turns red when s/he's excited but it will lose most of it's color when s/he calms down. It's always semi-pink though. The wattle area is yellow, and the feathering on his/her face is like that of the pullets, unlike the boys who are balding. S/he's so middle of the road it's confusing. I appreciate the help.

Yup I agree #s 1 & 3 Male. Nice clear pictures !

Anyone want to take a stab at my 5 week old? She's the result of a mixed color flock of ameraucanas, or she's a wyandotte. The egg she came from was very lightly tinted and hard to tell for sure. No one else wants to take a stab at gender/breed with her other than saying she's not am ameraucana. What do you think? Pullet? cockerel? Ameraucana? Wyandotte? thoughts?

I think EE Pullet, being as EE are mixed breeds and can have any gene in them especially if one parent was a second generation Ameracauna (EE), she could be pure EE and one of the parents hidden gene making an oldly colored paterned chick, even if she came from an ameracauna to ameracauna breeding, since its a mixed flock it is possible to get such a muddled pattern like that. Or a gold laced wyandotte cock was able to tag a ameracuana hen still making her an EE

. Whatever she is she is Beautiful and can't wait to see her feathering as she grows into them.

Thanks. I hope it's a pullet, it's a very out going bird, always the first at the door to greet me.

Oh I am so excited, and I think this might be just the right place to boast where someone will care! After 10 years of collecting various shades of brown eggs... my new EE hens have produced their first blue/green egg!!!

Thanx for caring

(and sorry if this is misplaced).

I got my first Olive egg. I was surprised because the only one who hadn't layed for me was suppose to be an ameraucana I got last summer. But she was so big and pretty I couldn't send her to freezer camp. The lite browns with grey spots are from my giant cochin and the chocolate one is from my Black copper Maran. Everyone else lays about the same shade of blue green.
