"I would love to know what genetics made that mess."

Exactly what I picture my parents saying the day I was born! LOL!

This is "One" a guaranteed pullet. But is "One" really a pullet. The silvery-purple feathers and behavior have me wondering.
Edit: 9 week old EE and 7 week old isa

Yup pullet. Especially if that comb is as light as it looks.

About what age do the EEs start laying eggs?

 

[junebuggena]

I've heard of some that started at 16 weeks, and a few that waited until 32 weeks. Depends on the time of year and their genetics. I think average might be about 20 weeks.

Does anyone care to guess what gender this EE is? Her (hopefully a her, anyway) name is Coco and she's 7 weeks old today.
