Wishing4wings I just saw this article on "Sneaky"!!!
8-week Easter Egger "pullet" - is it actually? *Updated 10-week pics pg 3 - Boy or girl?*

I hated that she had to sell the flock before we found out what color her egg was?!!

I am so happy I saw that feed from start to finish bc Sneaky is very similar to June! There's hope for my blue egg!!

Okay. I have one EE that is making me wonder. I have never had EEs before. This black and white one. Can I get some opinions please. 12.5 weeks old. Does not act roo-ish, the feathers are rounded around the neck and tail, but they hang differently than my other EE.

@CrazyNMS1 , Looks like a pullet to me.

Since EE's have other breeds mixed in, there can be quite a bit of variation in them.

WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad to hear that! I really love them and would hate to part with either of them. I should have mentioned, that this one is also the more skittish of the two. I am loving my EEs. I will need more.

Um, in general, EEs have muffs (your 'fluffy cheeks") and beards. Huge variety in just how fluffy they are.

In your case, I would look at the feather coloring and pattern. At 12.5 weeks, I think all that symmetry says pullet. I would have to see a lot bigger red comb to think otherwise.
