OH NO! The little EE I fought husband over so I could fix it's curly toes.....well, it looks like a roo!!!!! The man orders pullets only. When I feather sexed it at the store, it looked like a boy, but I remembered that the hatcheries said you couldn't feather sex the EEs, only vent sex them, so I said, ok, it must be a girl. Well, it's like 13 days old and I went to play with it and really really looked at it's comb, and it has the classic 3 rows of peas! Ugh! SO SAD! I will keep it for a few more weeks to make sure, but I am so sad. I really wanted this little one to be a girl since my husband backed off of me to take it back. Maybe I should take it back and make him happy, but not sure he is even selling them anymore.

Got home from my trip to find my poor sweet EE, Milly, hiding under the steps. She wouldn't come out so I had to go get her. She was so sad looking. She is molting soooooo bad. She is acting like she is embarrassed to be seen. Poor baby, she is pitiful! She literally moans. Can't wait for her to get over the molt. She normally lays an XL blue egg!

This is not an awesome day. I finally wrangled the peanut into the car to go the sitters, and made it to the farm. My rabbits are fine, the turkeys are fine (one more egg that managed to stay out of puddles), and the adult cHickens are fine. Those older chicks I thought wouldn't venture out of the coop? They did, and weren't smart enough to go back in when the rain hit. I lost the little cross - beak EE and the Sumatra, who was missing some feathers under his wings (not even fuzz, just smooth skin). The poor things actually seemed to have stayed in a low spot in the run where a puddle formed . All of the others are wet and pitiful looking, but warm to the touch. I'm actually in their coop with them, with the chicken door blocked. It'll stay that way for a few days. Thank goodness for fresh shavings; don't know if I'll ever get the chance to hang in here with them after this!

I think EE s are hard to tell; but it could be just me. I took a picture of Elizabeth the AM (who is as close to an EE adult as I have) for comparison, but you have tozoom in a bit.
