My EE was very friendly and would fly to my shoulder before adolescence, but she became a bit aggressive as she was a teenager and was acting like a cockerel. She would jump and claw and bite really good. After she started laying, she went back to being a nice bird and now gives hugs. I held her...
I was responding to April about the red on the wings. My EE's comb was also larger and darker colored at that age, but I was just saying that the wing color in the 3rd bird does not mean male.
For the longest time I thought that my white EE with red was a boy, because she was attacking with her feet, and was a total biotch. She killed my silkie roo that she grew up with in her anger. I threw her to the hens after that, and I posted pics of how she now gives hugs and acts like she did...
My Barred rock just started laying, and her eggs are that light brown color. ..although, they do seem to be darkening... lol my Sexlinks are light to though.
