Chicken Breed

[Celesterodriguez]

Hi, I’m new at raising chickens. This is Picatta, got her from an Amish farm. Can someone tell me what breed of chicken she is? Looks very different to me.

Welcome to the BYC Family!!
I say she is an EE.

Welcome to BYC!
She is an Easter Egger, which means you'll get blue or green eggs from her.

Well, could also get pink or even tan eggs. Fun thing about EE, you just never know until you see the eggs!
She is beautiful!

Thanks! Is it normal that she doesn’t have a crest? When will She start laying eggs? She was a chick in the early summer.

I have had EE's lay at 20 weeks and then I have had others lay around 24 weeks.

Do you mean comb? EE have peacombs which look very different then what people think of when they think of a chicken (single comb). It is normal for her.

Maybe. I have one that lays pink, one lays green, and another lays white. I think the most common color in EEs is green
