6mo old.. I still don’t know if it’s a pullet or roo.

My little girl that is almost a twin to yours is Polish crossed with EE. Does she have dark legs too?

When she lays her first egg I will probably cry lol. This is her “before.” I expected I’d have to put her down, she couldn’t walk, so the thought of her laying her first egg soon is crazy

So glad you managed to save her!

View attachment 2440663Here are some pictures of my Easter Egger I had years ago. She has not yet started laying in these photos. In the ones below she has a big comb.View attachment 2440665

Here she is when she had started laying. See how big and red the comb is?

Wow she's beautiful! Her feathers look like they glow. I do see what you mean about the comb. I hope my pullet lays soon! I wasn't expecting her first until spring, but I'm having really warm weather where I live, so its possible

This is Flynn. I still can’t decide wether she is a boy or girl! She’s six months old so I should be able to tell but she suffered a major setback at 6 weeks, almost starved to death becuase of the cross beak. I rescued her, and She didn’t walk for two months after that, but she is now able to, and has been “normal” for a couple of months now.
Because of her unconventional life, she is just now starting to catch up. At the moment she is about 3 pounds, and the size of a three month EE. When I got her she was a tiny 5 oz.
Her comb to looks large like a roo, and her tail feathers look long and they are very green, but her neck feathers are not long and thin and she doesn’t have saddle feathers.
What do you guys think?

Thank you! Yes, she was quite beautiful. Her name was Phoenix and she was top of the pecking order! Flynn is quite pretty too.
Could you post some pictures of her eggs when she starts? She looks as if she could start to lay any day now.

Phoenix is a perfect name for her!!
Of course I will do pictures!
her comb has just sprouted up the last couple days, so I bet you’re right.
This is what it looked like just a week or two ago

Wow! That really is quite a change! I really love her dark brown eyes too!
