Last fall we had a broody hen who decided that she was going to sit on a pile of eggs. We accidentally ended up with an EE Roo and we thought it would be fun to let the hen hatch them out and see what we ended up with (I'm sure this is against chicken breeding protocol, but hey.....). Two of the chicks that hatched grew up to be unusually small and had many characteristics of our Seramas. Yesterday it was confirmed when I discovered a tiny blue egg in the egg box!!! The EESerama egg is on the left and puts my EE blue egg to shame!! What a gem!
