Thanks - the new ones are only 10 weeks old and I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like when full grown.

Technodoll,
So glad you rescued those babies. they are precious!!

Arizona,
Neat colors! I've been crossing BLRW with my EE's and getting similiar colors, Looking forward to F2 for some better lacing hopefully.

The whisps I am talking about aren't from a silkie cross. Some of the EE's I bought from Murray Mc had them and they continued into the crosses when I added cochin. I think the one poster is right that said they come from aracauna.

Blue shell is dominant over white. That_crazy_lady gave a good explanation of shell colors and the brown overlays.

I've been wanting to post this for a long time and I think this is the best place for it.
Lots of people get there new chicks and they grow up and we see how sweet and colorful they are so we post pictures. We always get with out fail." Those are mutts" Mutt is a mongrel dog, what the? NO dogs here.
A mix or sooner, blend. I just non't think that a Easter egger should be called a mutt. Am I being to senistive. You know I might not like chickens with small heads. Sorry

Love my EE's

No Mutts here! (read the first post) these birds were all bred specificly for wonderful colors, rainbow eggs and leggs, and outstanding personalities . . . Purebred Easter Eggers!

To me, they aren't mutts.

Also very impressed with TechnoDoll's rescues and with all the birds on this thread in general. Sounds like EE's are consistent for sweet personalities. Mine is our gentlest and easiest to handle of our four hens. She just started laying and loves to come "nest" when I'm there to watch her:

Two eggs so far and they are so pretty!

I wouldn't trade her for any "purebred"!
