I have an EE chick that I hatched out, it is all black but has a red face and chest, anyone have any chicks that looked similar that are grown now, I was just wondering what it may look like as it ages, I know these can change a LOT as they mature...

Got a shot of my last hatch, 23 of various colors. 9 days old.

Just wanted to share some pics of some EE's I just hatched out. They are a cross between my Lav. Ameraucana Roo and Black/Lav split Orpingtons. Was hoping for some Lavender EE's but looks like they will be black like their mommies Lost power for 16 hours 4 days before lockdown, temps got down into the 80's several times but we were able to get the cord on the hovabator cut and hooked to a car battery and get temps where they needed to be again. Lockdown was Sat. PM and I was not very hopefull but out of 21 eggs I have 20 happy, healthy chicks!!! Chicken eggs are more than amazing!!

Most are gray some have red heads 1 yellow and 1 black EE chick

The fat chick in the center is a maran cochin mix

BCM 1 splash in the bunch

chicks finished hatching There EEs, Black copper marans, Olive eggers, 1 might be a wheaten marans. I tagged 6 of the Black coppers chicks, but some got hatch without me seeing. Plus some of the olive eggs look just like BCMs .
This is the frist time I've used my EE rooster breeding. I sure hope he carries the blue egg gene. Alot of the pullets I got in that group of chickens laid tan eggs (they were fluffy cheeked and rose comb, relocated to a gentleman who just wanted egg layers he didn't care what color) Guess I'll have to save a few pullets to see what gene he carries.
Htched 23 chicks from 36 eggs.
Some on one of these forums I go to said if eggs have hatched in time to gently open to break the membran before it dries. On the last 4 marans I tried it save all 4. Took the top off the egg very carefully, the membran was dry and tough opened it. They looked like they would make it. But this morning were getting around well enough to go in with the others.
Now some my OES should look like cuckoos Mom is cuckoo colored, fluffy cheeks and rose combed bred back to a BCM. Two OEs/BCM hens (clean face and only the slightest rose comb lay a beautiful olive egg Those babies will be hard to tell from BCM. I had those black OEs in my black copper pen could tell the different until they laid their egg.
What fun chicks are.

Looks like we have the same theme in chickens. But my roo is a splash maran. I have 4 blue copper maran chicks, but I can't tell them apart from the the olive egg chick!

Hey guys... I have an auction up and there are EE CHEAP.... 22 eggs. These eggs are mostly blue/blue green some are brown. All the pullets are bearded with muffs and are covered by a Black Ameraucana Roo. Take a look if you need some eggs. I can't hatch for a few weeks till after graduation

There are lots of eggs.... If I don't sell most of them there will be LOTS of EXTRAS too

MAKE ME AN OFFER!
