Are you sure your silkie is keeping them warm enough? You might want to brood your next ones inside yourself. I'm not trusting my silkie with any more until it's warmer. Sorry about your chickie.

If you want EE bantams I'd just get a bantam americauna cockerel and cross it with whatever bantam breed you want. EE's are mutts, not a breed really, so you can make your own.

Oh, I thought EEs, and americanas were the same

Shhh!!! Don't say that anywhere near the "Americauna or Araucana" people, you'll be tarred and feathered lol. Araucana's are rumpless tufted chickens who lay blue eggs, americauna's are bearded muffed chickens who only come in standardized colors and lay blue eggs, EE's are any chicken/mix of chickens who lay blue or green eggs and are usually bearded and muffed, have green legs, and come in every color you can come up with.

Good info. I didn't know this either.
 
the people in the chicken sections always seem to be lecturing me anyway. I wonder how bad it would be if I said that to them

How sweet. Must be something in the water, mine are being weird today too. I was giving everyone their peas earlier and my ancona started getting pushy for her treats. My roo didn't like how his ladies were being treated, so he very politely stepped in between the duck and the pullets. The drake got MAD, started chasing the rooster around trying to bite his tail. He came back from that and pouted, snapping at any poor chicken who got too close. A few minutes ago, I heard the duck quacking for more peas, and looked out the door. She's sitting there, the drakes running around the yard with his head down.

Looks like he was trying to fly, but he forgot to open his wings. He's weird.
I got a HUGE egg from one of my pullets today. Bigger than my duck eggs. Almost as big as the goose eggs in the 'bator. I wish I had room to hatch it. Either it's a double yolker or it'd be one humongous chick. Twins would be fun to try to hatch.
