Easter Egger chick colors?

[autumnhearth]

They are all doing well thanks the one with the brown face iss
A rooster the rest are hens
Here are a few new pictures

Brown faced chick is the rooster the chipmunk colored is the light one and the 2 gray are still gray one just has darker head and bigger cheeks

Thanks for sharing they look great! Are the girls laying yet? I ask because your grey ones look more like Olive Eggers or maybe even Blue Ameraucanas, they look like they have slate legs rather than green. Either way they are very pretty.

Would love to see how yours turned out as well!

Here they are at 18 weeks, they are now 22 weeks and I just got my first egg, its from Legs. They pretty much still look like the pics but with bigger combs and more winter feathers.

Cat Eyes and Wildling (Hens)

Hers is the blue one. The others are from my barred rock and Delaware.

I can't believe mom is still so attracted they still all try to sleep under her.. They don't fit. But they still try! They look like ostriches sticking there heads under mom. So funny!

Thanks for the update! I like how Cat Eyes, Wildling and Legs all turned out slightly different. Though they have similar wild type patterning, their colors are distinct. Wildling is closest looking to our Clara. I really would like another couple EEs. The gold and dark heads look so nice next to each other and Leg's reddish hues are really pretty too!

Yeah, I love being able to easily tell them apart. I have other breeds too but they all mostly look the same and are hard to tell from each other. My hubby thought it was stupid to order EEs, then he fell in love from day one, probably because they look like pheasant chicks when they are little. I think they might be his favorite breed that I have because of their different personalities and looks. That and its just extra fun to find a blue egg in the box!

Bull looks like hawk.

He does. Is Hawk just an EE or a cross with something barred? I am curious because I have a couple barred roosters. Which from what I have read will only produce barred offspring, it would be awesome to get some that look like Hawk. Also how old is Hawk, mine was totally black and white until about 16 weeks and now he has cream colored saddle feathers and cream on the edges of his hackle feathers. Turning out to be a handsome boy. You can see a little cream in the picture but he has way more now.

Too bad he is my "Special" rooster. I think he is a little slow in the head. It took him 2 weeks to figure out how to navigate the roosting bars and I had to build a ramp for him to get up to them at 2' high. He is a sweetheart though and makes me laugh the way he jumps out of the way when I try to pet him. I might have to get another EE rooster to get chicks from?

He was purchased from ideal poultry hatchery.
But buck isn't barred that is just his younger feathers and he is either 11 or 12 weeks.

My husband still thinks Easter Eggers are ugly. He hates the muffs. Our's is clean faced but when I suggest we get more he cringes. Funny because I'm totally going to get lots of EEs and Salmon Faverolles down the road.
