One of my 21 week old EEs whom I thought was not laying yet left me a surprise in another section of the barn this week. This is an old brooder. Yesterday I caught her flying over the 12 ft coop wall in the barn and witnessed her laying this egg. Below is another one of my 21 week old...

:(

Thank you. Yes I wanted because my chickens free range, and we have hawks. Plus I would like to hatch my own chicks. And I think it is fun to watch the roos take care of their girls. But I just can't have a mean roo. :(

I was just so unsure since most of the time he is fine with me around. It is like he all of a sudden takes on a different personality.

Thank you thank you so much for answering. I feel like your's is the first real answer I have gotten. I am so sad. I can't have him hurting my boys.

I did post this in a different thread, but am hoping you EE'ers can give me some advice... My 12.5 week old EE cockerel has bit me 3 times in the last week, twice drawing blood. He also charged me in the coop for the first time last night. Is this hormones or should I be worried about...

I love chubby cheeks!

Thanks!

Okay thank you! So just making sure I got it, my clean faced roo couod still pass on a beard gene? And it doesn't matter whether my hens have beard genes or not, just the roos?

Yay!

Will an EE roo without a beard produce chicks with a beard if mated with a hen who has one? Or could someone explain all that to me?

Cute!

Thanks! Love them :)

Updated pics of my EEs. Four of them are 12 weeks old and the other two are 11.5 weeks. Prim - she is smaller than all the others, but she is so stinking sweet. I love love her pattern! Lena - I love how she is just hanging out under the slide. Very sweet girl! She was a little feisty when...

All gorgeous, but I am drueling over Puffy!

I don't think my hubby would go for buidling another coop :-/

I forgot to mention the other roo is 2yrs old. Will that make a difference? Will the new roo try to take some of the younger chicks right now or will he stick to the 6 older hens? Sorry for all the questions...

I posted a couple days ago about a gorgeous EE roo my friend's dad is giving away. Well last night I acquired 4 more 11.5 week old pullets. 2 golden laced wyandottes and 2 EEs. I now have 6 hens (EEs,speckled sussex, barred rocks, golden comet) and 14 11.5-12 week old pullets (EEs, GLWs, black...

Oh okay. I definitely want the blue eggs if at all possible. Hmm such a tough decision. This roo is absokuteoy gorgeous and my all white EE roo is well...plain BUT he grew up with my boys. Decisions decisions

So if he mates with a hen with a single comb gene they could have EE babies with a single comb? Is that bad?
