Ameraucana based EEs typically have the blue egg gene linked to the pea comb, so if that's what your EE is and you got chicks with pea combs 50% or 100% would indicate whether she has 1 or 2 blue egg genes.

Neat mixes! Edited to fix from "meat mixes"

Here's a satin X probably BA cross. He's pretty neat looking. He's a wanna-be BCM

Yep! I think my hubby wants to keep him. I don't have any plans to breed him, but if he stays nice, he's little and shouldn't be too much of a bother.

I think somethings in the air concerning broodies.

I have a 10 yr old Cream Legbar who has never been broody in her life.
She has been in broody jail for 4 days. She is a determined bugger.
I think she is starting to reconsider finally.

I didn't want her to sit because of our heat and her age.

Who would have thought a hen would go broody for the first time so late in life.

Meet Miss Dot.

Oh she's pretty. Just a wild stab but it could oozing broody from this thread... And add in the fact @2ndTink has Silkies and well, you know Silkies.

Chick fever

I don't have the space for more birds but no one likes a quitter...

Okay on the topics of broody chickens. Do chickens ALWAYS go broody at some point in their lives?

VERY TRUE. Don’t be a quitter!

Loves his coloring.

Oh, but we also have a blue feathered cockerel who is his brother with the same leakage too, hubby also would like to keep him. And all 4 bantam cockerels, and at least 1 of the big black EE mutts, plus a Dark Brahma cockerel... lol. Then we have my all the boys I need for my breeding pens plus a few spares in case my main breeder boys decide to do the chicken thing of dying...

I'm over capacity too, but there's so many crosses I need to test hatch

I'm being good, I'm waiting for 2025. Trying...
