Here is some pictures of my EE Pullet at about 10 weeks. I got her along with another EE but he ended up being a cockerel and was rehomed to a uncles farm. Here she is though, she has turnned out to be a pretty pattern. It seems like she has BLRW somewhere in her mix because of the blue color and red/rust oclor lacing.

I LOVE her <3 She is BEAUTIFUL!!!

No, there aren't.





Check out Gideon's tail--see the little black heart shapes on the feathers? Cool, eh??

How pretty Gideon is! Love the 'heart feathers'

Thanks, he's so far being good, but he's only about to turn 12 weeks old, so we will be watching for his hormones to kick in. If he inherits his dad Isaac's disposition, he'll be an absolute treasure.

Pumpkin is gorgeous.

I want to see more pictures of the EE naked neck.

Since broody hen Hazel has been given plenty of time to hatch more chicks and was off the nest and walking around today we took the rest of the eggs from her today. I cracked them all open and all the ones that were left were bad. That was a stinky mess.

I don't know that I will get that smell out of my nose for a while.

I did finally get a picture of our only chick to hatch though. I did feather sex it and got that it is a pullet. I know it's not 100% but I figure I can see if it is right since DH has said we can keep the chick since it is the only one that hatched.

So here is a picture of our little lone chick and Hazel.


This chick is lighter than the EEs we got as chicks originally so I am curious to see what color she ends up being. I have no clue which of the EEs are her real momma either. It's not Hazel though because she wasn't laying when we gathered the eggs to put under her. I'm definately hoping this chick survives and we get to see what she grows up to look like.

One of the tips I learned from the Easter Hatch this year was to do the egtopsies inside a double locked zip lock bag. Rotten eggs are Gross, sick, terrible.....

I will have to remember that if we ever get another broody and let her hatch eggs. Next time we will likely buy fertile eggs though. This time around we just experimented with some of our own eggs from our flock. Hazel went broosy 9 days after we got rid ouf our last rooster and we knew we had seen some fertile eggs before that so we figured we'd just experiment with our flock eggs. Since we didn't know if she would be a broody since it was her first time and our first time with a broody we didn't want to put money in hatching eggs then risk her quitting on them. She was actually a good broody and is looking like she will be a good mom too.
