thank you for the clarification! i love those cheeks! lol i was sold a chicks as an "amercauna" turns out hes a mutt.

EE's tend to be great birds. just because they don't meet "The standard of perfection"'s definition does not degrade them.

Looks like it's time for either a top or higher walls for my brooder. Chicks are 4.5 weeks old, living in a big ol' watermelon box. Pulled into the garage this afternoon to this sight. The tightrope walker is Moe - the biggest of our 9, and the obvious dominant bird.

If you are wondering, that is definitely a cockerel.

Thanks! We were pretty sure from very early on. His comb started developing and turning red by about 2.5 weeks old - the earliest of any of our chicks - its perfectly vertical growth got him referred to once as having a Mohawk, and the name Moe was born.

He definitely displays "ownership" qualities over our flock - last week when they were roaming the garden, our black lab (who had not yet been introduced to the chicks) got out and tried to chase them down to get a sniff. All but Moe scurried off to hide in the vines of the pole beans. Moe stood his ground and stood up in the dog's face! It was adorable.

Okay, I just wanted to say since many people do not understand. He is pretty by the way.

Yes, this little one's cheeks are so big, you can barely see it's eyes! It is a pure bred Easter Egger! It's name is "Puff the Magic Dragon!" Colette

i was under the impression easter egger isnt a pure breed? but a mix that take after some sort of Americana? i coud be wrong? this is what the breeder said where i bought my chicks..

Yes. All EEs are mixed. He's very cute though!

The two Golden Comets are Toast and Honey. The two Blue Andalusians are Blueberry and Pepper.

In the background is my frizzled bantam Cochin, Mini-me. She is almost 3 months older, but not much bigger. I put her in here with the babies to let her gain as much size as possible before I put her out with my adults whom are all standard sized.
