I am from the Central area of the Illinois/ Wisconsin border. I just got back into having a small flock of chickens for the eggs and I am looking for a couple more hens, 12 weeks or older, EEs or something funny looking like a Polish or Frizzle or something, or a breed that lays interesting colored eggs. I dont care if they have curled toes or slightly crooked beaks, they are just pets. I also have an EE cockerel for sale or trade. Please message me if you have any helpful info for me to find some hens in my area! Thanks!

Speaking of eggs, does anyone get bullet shaped eggs?
From about 2 months ago Notice the deformities. These were her 2 worst eggs that week
Today (Orpington hen just turned 1 yr old a few days ago.)
Bigger egg but still a bullet shape with a line/ wrinkle. Shell is normal. Hen acts normal.
Is this just going to be her norm or is there something wrong with her??
That is AWESOME! Love my EE ladies! Think you should rename her "Sarah" as in Sarah, Abraham, and Isaac- LOL!My 9 year old EE came out of retirement and laid an egg. Last egg was a year ago... I will probably have to wait till 2016 for her next one. =D=D=D
I think Hetta must be the progeny of that hen. She frequently lays "torpeggos." Long, skinny, and chalk white. I set a couple in the incubator and they hatched just fine, though! And they also taste great!I have a hen and her daughter whose eggs are "narrow and long". I think it is the physical size of the oviduct. It is just how they are, no problem hatching them.
