haha! so I just decided to buy them all today....I figure I can always give away the roos, at $2 a pop....it will be okay. I love them all though, I really hope they can all be mine!!!!

It sure does!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed...I especially love the white one! So, these are EEs not americanas then....I know I read the thread, but it still is confusing. Thanks so much for your help!

yes, they are my favourites...for sure. I love their beautiful feathers, and colours. And for some reason I really like that they don't have a regular comb!

Oh, I am drooling!

Thank you all...so much!! I went down today to Eugene and got them! I am really excited to finaly have these birds that I have been searching for since I knew I could have chickens (my dh caved....yes I am perseistant!). I love them, I really hope two are pullets, and one is a roo. I know a couple that really want a EE roo, so it would be perfect.


Thanks again for your ENOURMOUS AMMOUNT of help!!!!!

Now I am just freacked out that I am putting them in with the larger birds (the EEs are 5 weeks, my Partridge rocks are 9)...The silly thing is that the little ones keep instigating the big ones, they run up and flutter as though they are big, but the don't know that they are really not.

Oh,well..something more to worry about!
Again, THANK YOU!

I'm a little late on this but I live in Philomath and will have the same problem as you if my EE's turn out to be roos! I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out. I've posted pics in another thread and while none of mine have red in the combs, some people are saying the 3 rows of pea in the comb make it a male but on every site I've been to, all pea combs have 3 ridges with the middle one being higher. I've heard so many conflicting things...I guess I'm waiting too and then finding homes somewhere!
