The EE braggers thread!!!

[Grumpypantsmomma]

So far I have 4 Solid Black Sexlink EE gals, I had 2 more but like I Said they had funky/Off combs. I am wanting the beautiful pea combs and colored eggs. Their brother has an awesome comb, I am going to use him to start making barred EE's when we finally get settled in the new house. as for the second pic i wouldn't say quality is good.

JeffOeuf ~ she is stunning! what color egg does she lay?

To all of Paula's fans...thank you, I think she blushed when she heard how many of you thought she was gorgeous.

Here's her first egg. They're blue, with a tinge of green. My wife's cousin saw this picture and said that it was the color she wanted to paint her kitchen.




And, here she is May 20, at about 8 weeks.




I know nothing about her lineage. I bought her at a feed store as a day old chick. She was advertised as an Auracana, but it didn't take me much research to figure out that was wrong. Doesn't matter, she knows she's gorgeous, I know she's gorgeous, and now all you know, too.

I agree Paula is a beautiful hen, I bet she has Silver penciled Wyandoote in her she looks alot like my Wyandotte cross Lacy except for the penciling, my Lacy has lacing and also lays a blue green egg.... not the best picture but this is her.......

Her colour is called silver pencilled. She is stunning! I would have thought she was a silver pencilled rock if she didn't have a pea comb!

Want to show off some pictures of my girls, 19.5 weeks old, and my boy, 23.5 weeks old!!!

Close up of Rouxster Roux's comb. Is it normal for a pea comb to stick up like that?

I have an 18 week old rooster that looks almost exactly like your roo. He currently has no beard. When did yours grow his beard?

The sexlinked barred roo will only give you half barred chicks. He only has 1 copy of the barring gene. So only 1/2 will be barred. They will not be sexlinked either. you will get about 25% barred pullets, 25%, barred males, 25% solid pullets and 25% solid roos.

Or if you happen to be as unlucky as me: out of 10 (using 1/2 barred rooster against non-barred hens)
6 barred offspring (all boys) - 3 had double barring gene (1 mother was 1/2 barred as well)
2 black offspring (girls)
1 red offspring (girl)
1 Red Pyle looking offspring (boy).

Well, I got him at about 20 weeks. He already had the beard a little bit by then and I think it has grown out some more since then. So, maybe in the next couple of weeks your roo will get busy on the beard!
