I ordered 5 chicks from Meyers Hatchery and received my chicks on March 6th so they are 5 weeks old today. O ordered 4 Easter Egger Pullets and 1 Meyer Meal Maker. I asked for a pullet but not sure if they included another Easter Egger or something else. I have thought from the beginning that the darkest one was possibly a Silver Laced Wyandotte because I had said that would be an ok breed to send. Here are some pics of the girls, at least I hope they all are. One in particular, Ellouise, which you see has feathered much differently so I not sure and would like some opinions. So here they are (lots of pics)

Sprinkle:


No Name:


Henrietta (SLW? or EE):


Ellouise (slow feathering one - would like thoughts on gender also):




Just a funny one of Ellouise:

 
They all look like EE's to me. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ellouise is a cockerel, he's already getting the tale tell red shoulder of EE Roosters.[/FONT]
 
x2. You're lucky you got sexed pullet B&Ws - many end up late blooming males, but Meyer does good by their sexing guarantee. Black & white EEs are just GORGEOUS. Unfortunately your meal maker will only make one meal... remember, you are supposed to donate it to the less fortunate

Congrats!

Thanks for the feedback. I have been wondering from the beginning if Ellouise was really a roo. By 2 weeks out the other 4 had really featherd out whereas, Ella still had scrawny wings and no feathers. It's just been in the last week and a half where it has started to change. She/He has always been the most friendly/ inquisitive - least scared and walks a little differently than the others, much more upright. I guess I will wait a while longer to really confirm since I can not have a roo in my town, and it's also the one my youngest daughter named because it was the prettiest as a chick. Oh well....
