9 week old EE weirdness?

[jeepchick]

I purchased EE pullets from Ideal and got quite an assortment of colors including this weird lady. Is this a "color" or is she a mix of colors? Is this an EE at all or is this some weird random breed I don't recognize? Also she was VERY slow to feather out.....I mean at 4 weeks old all the other girls were pretty much feathered and she was almost ALL baby fluff still.

She looks like one of mine - mostly. From an almost black EE chick, she is now a gorgeous combination of black, shades of brown and tan and white. She is one of our prettiest EEs and she lays PINK eggs! Plus she's got a great personality, and is always "talking" to me when I'm outside.

I'd be curious what color egg yours lays when she gets to it...

I have two EE roosters with the same coloring. Very pretty boys.

Yep, you can see the red coming in over the shoulders and wing bows plus a very well defined red comb... All signs point to roo.

ee cockerel all the way with the coloration on the wings and the reddness of the comb

My EE Roostie "Oddball" looked like this..We are new with chickens so we were like ..What the heck is this? Did they sneak and give us a weird little turkey? But turns out he is just a Rotten, Mean Ol' Roostie..with a sharp beak.
