Yep - they're the same age. Mine were hatched Sept 28th (received by us, Sept 30th), so they are 1 month old today. In the past, our EE's that we purchased from our local feedstore (Privett chicks) have all looked very similar once they grew up - out of about 10 pullets we only had 2 different color types. This time, I knew not to keep the brown ones (since we are looking for more variety). We kept a splash, 2 white ones like the one you see above, a brown/blue chick, and a couple grey ones. I can't wait to see them full grown.
All of our older EE pullets have coloring like this
or like this.
I do think they're very pretty birds, but wanted to add more variety.
