Sorry about your roo. Keep posting pics. Has happened to me and maybe one of my cureent pullets is a not so much a pullet!
I am wondering if mine have welsummer so thanks for the picture.
Maybe start asking around if anyone wants a welsummer to make olive eggers with cream Legbar- seems...
I purchased 4 EE pullets and now three have crests. They are 4.5 weeks old, sweet and curious. Pretty smart too.
Once I saw the crests I did backtracking and found the hatchery sells olive eggers that are welsummer x cream legbar. Does this look like a possibility?
Can you post updated pictures?
I have four easter egger pullets, two have crests. I was surprised! One was a pale chick the other was a striped chick. All TSC.
I had an EE rooster. He was great. He was too “forward” with girls til he matured. He protected his girls from a predator that killed three. He went from Gabriela to Gabriel. He never hurt me. If the dogs got close he herded the ladies into the coop.
I think all pullets. But I am no expert. I had two white chicks EE who looked so similar til the end. One was a rooster and one laid beautiful green eggs.
I bought 4 “pullets” and I think two are cockerels.
First and last pic with the patchy color and more comb- all EE from same shipment-...
