Are these Easter Eggers?

[PeuAPeu]

I bought these two from the same bunch and was told they are Easter Eggers, but they look so different. Do you think they are both EEs?

Yep, they both appear to be EEs to me. EEs are of mixed genetics, so can be all sorts of colors and lay any egg color, including brown.


The dark one is really striking!

 

[PeuAPeu]

Yes I agree. She is turning out to be the most attractive one after being a greyish color. When they were little they looked almost exactly alike. Then the yellow one was more attractive, but now that the black and white has come out, she is really becoming attractive. I used to call her Grey but now I think she needs another name. The yellow one is Lilly (i.e. Tiger Lilly).

sure look like pretty EE girls! what did the yellow one look like as a baby chick? Have any photos? I have a bright yellow one, now 3 weeks old and starting to get some gray/sliver to her yellow, like yours maybe? What color was the black/white one when a baby chick? Have any pictures?

Let me see if I can find my early on pics of them.



There is Lily on the left and back (next to one of my Jersey Giants or Barred rocks) and then the Grey one the right and back (with a prod red standing next to her)

Lilly has become great. At first she was a little standoffish but not when I go into the pen with some honeysuckle she is ony of the ones who will jump up in my lap. She'd rather be hand fed the leaves. The Grey one is still a bit standoffish. Quite a bit scared but she is doing better. She will come up and eat out of my hand but will not jump up in my lap. My most social chicken is Ethel who is an Australorp followed by her sister Ester also an Australorp and third is Lucy who is a production red (Yes, Lucy and Ethel lol).
