Look at the gold barring going on with one of the girls! lovely!

How would one get to that cross? My guess is with a Barred Rock x buff EE

Lovely!

You should be getting eggs by October. They are beautiful.

At this age you should be able to see the pointy saddle & hackle feathers emerging if they were roos. With birds I'm not sure about I'm frequently parting their feathers at those places to see if those boy feathers are growing in.

Hope their eggs are just as pretty!

I would have to agree with everyone else....... you have some mighty pretty "ladies" there!!

They look like pullets to me! Love their coloring. Very pretty ladies!

Thank you thank you thank you everyone!

I am so happy to finally have EE pullets, plus I really adore these two. They have been attached to me since chicks so it would be really hard to give them up. They would cry when I left the room and they still cry when I leave the coop area. Spoiled? Nah, lol. Now I just have to get my 8 other 4 and 5 month old girls to accept them in the next 3 weeks before I leave on vacation. I'm not enjoying that task very much since the older ones make the babies scream when they peck them

They get so scared they go into a corner and get very still or lie down and start purring. It's very hard for a chicken mommy to handle, lol.
