Easter Eggers not far down the family tree
« on: July 28, 2007, 11:19:00 PM »

Here are the results of a breeding experiment that I did.
As you can see, It doesn’t take long to get back to the Easter Egger Roots of this breed.
This blue male came from crossing a white male over a black female.

He has quite a bit of  white in his hackle so I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if I put him over a couple of silver hens.  
Well, here are some of the chicks from this mating.  There were also some pretty nice blue chicks.  I wish that I had taken pictures of the newly hatched chicks. They were very pretty light  gray silver striped chicks.
