Easter Egger chick colors?

[21hens-incharge]

I did not even know what "vaulted" meant in regards to chickens. OH MY that is and odd thing.
From what I have read about the Faverolle chickens they tend to be mean to other breeds of chickens. It is even recommended to not keep them with other breeds on the meyer hatchery site.

I may see if I can find them some of there own kind to stay with, they like to pick on the others pretty bad. But I am disappointed that she even put the chicks out after talking with me 3 weeks and being assured id get them that day
so I won't do business with them again. I wasn't sure what it meant but we saw ones head was shaped a little funny hopefully it'll be fine since I saw there were adult vaulted silkies

It's odd, mostly what I've read about Faverolles is that they are picked on by other chickens and don't do well with aggressive breeds. They tend to end up at the bottom of the pecking order. I did see Meyer's description and always assumed it was a typo. They are supposed to be very affectionate with humans. Can't speak from experience though. What color are your extra toed feather legged chicks? They should start out yellow then get darker markings on their wings:

Right now mine are light yellow with a darker yellow place on the tips of there heads, the group I got is very young barely any feathering on there wings and they still have the egg tooth on their beaks they have pale yellow feathers on legs, yellow legs and pale skin. They're bullies at the moment but maybe they will stop. Maybe they're after the silkies egg tooth when they do this thinking its food or something. They also have puffy cheeks

I hope mine do turn out something besides solid white I bought them thinking they were D'Uccles I was going to put them with my porcelain I lucked up and found then got them home and found the extra toe lol. I got 4 silkies to go with my 2 after I quarantine them 2 weeks I have a room full of chicks lol 14 standard size 5 ducklings and 16 bantams and getting 4 EE pullets the 22. I'm converting little tikes play houses into houses for them in trying to track 4 more down since I've decided to have a lot just for silkies

Now I'm wondering if I have a ee bantam. I've had one chick that I cannot figure out, when we got nugget it was a lone bantam in a tub with ducks, was a pale yellow, now nugget is feathering white with one little light grey feather on one shoulder, the wings are very long they wrap all the way around the body and meet under the tail, I check my bantams daily one at a time to make sure everyone looks ok, tonight when I picked nugget up I noticed the legs are now a pale green. Nugget doesn't have puffy chicks, I've been stumped by this chick since day one. My newest silkies and the 2 possible faverolles eagerly greeted me, I placed my hand in the tub and all six were trying to fit on one hand

. I handle all my birds daily but I've noticed most of my bantams run away from my hand

I am trying to show them I mean them no harm and am gentle with them. I was happy when one I got last week actually came up to me and got on my hand and let me hold it. I'm going to keep handling them every day and hope that everyone eventually accepts and trusts me. So curious to see how some will turn out especially the ones I have that have a tiny flat spot instead of a comb

Gotcha sounds like a Faverolles, you said suspected they were bantams at first, how is it in size compared to the others? They do have bantam faverolles but I don't know if a feed store would carry them. Do you have pictures of your little ones you could upload? As to the bullying:

I have an EE without puffy cheeks. Actually I had two, but we lost Pearly-girl last summer.
