That's what it is starting to look like.

I'm beyond happy lol. I just hope i have two hens and a rooster though so that if i hatch some of their eggs or if one of them goes broody and i let her hatch them I'll have EE's. Are EE's likely to go broody or not?

 

[lilliesanchicks]

Well my silkie/ee cross always goes broody but that might just be the silkie in her.

 

[GarthRyan]

Yeah, might be. I think I've read that silkies go broody and if i remember correctly ee's rarely do. But idk.

I have had EEs for years and have only ever had one go broody. And she was only 11 months old and didnt end up being commited to setting on the eggs, she lost intrest in about 3 days. In my experience EEs rarely go broody.

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking about making an incubator when my other chickens (three months old right now) start laying and if i can get it to hold temp and humidity right I'll hatch some.

Cool, I just buy my incubators from rural king.

 

[GarthRyan]

Yeah i just don't feel like shelling out the money to buy one. plus for me, it'd be even more satisfactory to make my own and it work to my expectations. I haven't heard of rural king though so I'll look about them.
