Looks like a pullet!

I get so confused when folks say that a certain comb indicates pullet or roo, green eggs or blue.

I had 5 EEs, three muffed and 2 clean faced, and no two combs were alike. They all laid blue eggs. Sadly I lost my gorgeous Pearl a couple of week ago, but the other four are still going strong and giving me lovely blue eggs. Oh, well, to me that's the fun and beauty of these amazing birds - ya just never know!

What color do you consider Daphne and Pearl to be? I have one the same color and not sure what to call it.

I'm not sure what the technical term is, but they were both very different in color. Daphne is primarily black and white, and Pearl looked like she was standing in a shadow all of the time. She had a little gold, a little brown, some red, some black, some gray and some white. The pictures you saw were taken just to show the combs. This might help a little more with their colors:



The top two pictures are Pearl. Sadly we lost her several weeks ago. She was just as sweet as she was pretty.








These two are of Daphne...mostly black and white. She's the complainer in the group. She's mostly black and white with a little gray.
