Hi all, just thought I'd update. Chicks are about 10 weeks old now. Still not sure about the breed....still sweet, still quiet as a mouse....still a girl ....?

I think the dubious one is an EE but they have used a cream legbar as the blue egg laying component instead of an Americana or Araucana. That would explain the yellow legs and single comb instead of pea comb and if you look closely at the first photo of it, you can just make out a tiny bit of a crest..
From the colouring and posture I would say pullet, but that comb is very pink for 10 weeks. When you see the group photo that bird looks significantly bigger than the others and I'm wondering if it could possibly be a few weeks older than them, which might explain why the comb is so developed? If that is an EE and it's a pullet, it should lay a green egg.

That's promising! I really do hope she's a she. And yes, you would think he/she's older, and she might be by a day or two but not much beyond that. She was maybe a little bit bigger but not by much when I got her (dubious one is in the middle) She DOES however eat MUCH more than the rest....would that affect anything? I can't tell you how many times I found her asleep in her food

Hi all! Just thought I'd like to update you, SHE started laying! Actually 2 out of 4 of our hens started laying, pretty early! It's only 16 weeks (maybe 17 now)

She's been laying tiny yellow-brown eggs (no blue, but I'm mostly just happy she's a lady!) The other one that has started laying is my white rock, whose eggs are huge compared to the previously questionable one, haha!
