Show me your Easter Egger chicks please.

[Adorkable]

I just got 4 Easter Egger chicky babies 3 days ago to add to my flock of 8 and they're already growing like weeds! They weren't too crazy about the camera as you might be able to tell by the pictures, but I did what I could lol

This is Lucinda... any idea how she's gonna look when she's grown up? She has some interesting colors.

Think she might be white when she's mature? If she is I will name her "The Pope"

This is black mamba... named after the KILL BILL character because the first day we got them she kept trying to peck all the other ones eyes out! I separated her and wrapped her up in a blanket and held her in my lap for about an hour or so which I think may have helped.

She's very cute and has the fuzziest cheeks. Haven't named her yet.

This is probally a stupid question, but do you tell EE by the green legs??

I was under the impression that the blue/greenish legs indicate they carry the gene to produce EE colored eggs. Someone with more knowledge will know.

I love all these pictures! Soooooo cute!

My 3 EE are the ones on the right and the yellow on the left. Any ideas what they will end up looking like?

I found that thread. It almost makes me want to breed nothing but EE!

I am a NEW chicken owner and this year we got 1 of each breed to see what we really liked and to have variety in our eggs...well I SERIOUSLY fell in love with our EE's and Welsummers, I think the next time we change out our flock I will strictly go to those 2 breeds! EEs are SO much fun and have great personalities!
