I have a Barred Rock EE cross that looks a lot like yours but she has a spot on her head (which I think she gets from the barred rock side). Just thought I would share some pictures. She also has a sibling who is slightly darker grey. All the other siblings from the same cross were black and are starting to show barring.

1 day old

about 4 days old

2 weeks

3 weeks old

Her sibling at 3 weeks

They are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. That dark grey/light grey barring is cute.

I love pics

Here is my Araucana at 4 days old and 5 weeks old. She looks very similar to your chick. I picked her up at the farm store and she was the only all gray chick out of about 200 they had just received that morning. Yes i was there when they unloaded all the chicks from there shipping boxes, so i had my pick. Lucky me!

I can get a better pic of her if you like.

Oh hummm.... I was looking forward to having something different

After looking, how can you tell the difference between the Blue Andalusian and the "Araucana"?

Mine is not growing like any of my EE's (not the height or the weight), and a totally different temperament. How about yours? I have 4 "chipmunk" EE's that are 1 week older.
