The EE braggers thread!!!

Does anyone have an upclose pic of (or a link to) a pea comb? I'm not quite sure I understand what it should look like. I have seen some drawings, but would really like to see an actual pic. Thanks

My boy at 4 or 5 weeks old Best closeup of the peacomb I have.

Now to add a little more confusion in to the leg color discussion ~ I have 2 EE's that look like this. They have yellow legs (they are a little washed out in this picture) and both lay blue/green eggs. I think they got their leg & feather coloring from their daddy who was a spangled russian orloff. I don't know what their mother was. I had gotten them as hatching eggs.

Here is a chart from the internet not as nice as the pictures so far, BUTT gives a rough idea.

I have a question, anyone have their EE's get "feathered" (think 70's era Farrah Faucett) head feathers after a molt??? I have several that have done that here are some pics of what I am talking about









These next pics the girls don't have funny head feathers.



This is noisy cheeks, I don't have many pics of her b/c she is the most neurotic chicken we have I really think she needs a script for Lithium.

I LOVE the retro 'hair-do'!!!! She's got 'head wings'.

Wouldn't chicken keeping be boring if it weren't for all the wonderful, crazy, unexplainable things that they do?

It looks like she is trying very hard to go frizzle!
I love that look. Very unique.

At first I thought I was looking at an Araucana cross. Very nice! EE's and Ameraucanas alike naturally do have some pretty swept back neck feathers that vary in degree from one to the next, I think you're just really lucky there. Wish I had one with a neck that awesome. The only other breed that has traits like that are Orientals, and even with them it does vary. Like this couple - Super neat neck ornaments!

Picture 2 looks like what we used to call a "DA" back in 50's-60's. Elvis had one.
DA stands for Ducks *****. This was before them long hair Beatles came around<g>
When the Beatles showed up on Ed Sullivan their hair was not even longish compared to what came later
