The EE braggers thread!!!

[Bleenie]

All of my EE's are the product of Black Olive Egger hens X Buff Laced Wyandotte roo. Out of the 3 girls I kept I got the red/buff laced one, white speckled one & a red/blue girl. I couldn't believe the range of colors from solid Black hens!

Bleenie ~ they are all so beautiful! i lost one white EE cockerel to a fox, and the one i have left is handsome, dark, but has no beard or muffs, and he used to run after the hens when Barney was here, Barney was quite the boy... very dominant and was doing roostery things from a tender age, he was mounting the girls or trying to from about 8-9 weeks. (he was crowing by 6 weeks...) Royce doesn't crow, and since he doesn't show much interest... i'm not holding out for a lot of chicks... but i want all EE's. i have 2 BR pullets and 2 RIR pullets to add to the mix with the 2 EE pullets... could get some nice little chickiedoos if Royce would Roo-up! My girl Isis looks a lot like your lil miss hide and seek.

Quote: Use your barred hens/pullets with the EE roo for sex links. You will get some green eggs and some brown eggs from the mix, but they will all be layers you can sex.... and predict which is which at hatch too.... pea combs vs straight. OR use a BR roo and make you some Barred EE (keep the pea combs for the EE pen than you can make sexling EE too)

Is it possible your Buff Laced is really a Splash laced red? Black birds can hide lots of colors so you really never know what you will get.

Out of curiously, what does a cross between an EE and a Black Aussie usually look like? Does anyone have some?

I have 2 EE's and 3 BA's and I'm considering keeping a Roo if one of the EE's turns out to be one. I am hoping for all hens but only by big favor would 5 out of 5 be hens LOL.

Well, that's what's so cool about EE's. A cross between an EE and something else could look like ANYTHING because of the EE's mysterious, mixed heritage.

Yes, you are right. I see so many EE's that are absolutely stunning in color and some that are simply pretty, just like anything else I suppose. I guess I will know either way if let them have hatch some little ones sometime down the road, right now they are babes themselves.
