I love this thread and thought I would add my EE's to the mix. My babies are 4 weeks old today, but I truly think I will wind up with 5 out of 7 cockerels. Not very good odds. I am questioning this one's color/pattern. The wings are very uniform and the chest is coming in a very light cream color with a light cream/pale brown flecks further down the chest. I was shocked when I realized the chest was so light. I will post baby, 2 week, 19 days, and 4 weeks. As he/she develops, I'll add to the post.

Smudge as a baby: (in the middle) has always been a washed out brown color with willow-y legs.


Smudge at 2 weeks:



Smidge at 19 days:



Smudge 4 weeks (current):



Is this pattern typical of pullets? The comb is pinker than I like, but it's only one row of peas.
 
First off I think smudge is adorable! As for gender, EEs are mixes so there isn't really a standard for the coloring of females vs. males but pullets tend to have a more consistent pattern compared to males (but then again they are mixes so you never know!).
 
Thanks for looking! I actually meant to post this in the EE thread which shows them as they develop. I'm a dork and hit "new thread" instead of post a reply. Please forgive me for the duplication.

No your fine :) You can start your thread and update as they grow if you wish (as well as post in the EE thread).
