when i got them gender unknown i would have bet money both were pullets but now the tail tips are turning down and the pea comb is already starting to pink up. Do i have any chance at a...
I can get a pic or to later this evening. YES tight pea come, no cheek puffs or beard. Hatched June 14th under one of my broody easter eggers. Gave her six eggs from a co worker. The eggs were a darker rusty brown and extra large from a flock of Red sex links, the rooster i purchased a chick in...

Yea i know she is an EE. Just wondered if any one had a guess as to what her mix is. He did not have any Welsummer or Maran or other dark layers. Lots Red hens, RIR, Red Comets, and production layers. he did have silkies for brooding and astrolorps. Lots of barn yard mix that were hatched on...
This is a barn yard mixed Easter egger. I got some fertile eggs from a local farmer. About 60 chickens ran the yard together. all he could tell was he had some rumpless Araucanas in the mix and that is were the blue eggs came from. You can see the crock behind her is from the same batch. What...

I have an all white EE that has green legs and a pea comb and nice big cheek puffs and lays a light sandy/ cream colored egg. At first i was very disapointed but now it is my favorite. It is big and fat and round. She rarely misses a day of laying and i find the color pleasing and unique. I bet...
