Hi! I have 2 EE's. At least I think so! Anyway here's Ana and Elsa. Though I'm starting to think Ana is a roo and I'll have to re home him/her.
This is Ana

















And this is Elsa. I'm hoping she's a girl!

I hope I am wrong, but they both sort of say cockerel with that big of comb already. Post again in a couple of weeks, they are a little young yet to tell for sure

Ana and Elsa are really cute. Ana looks like a cockerel. Elsa seems to not have a pea comb. Is it an EE from Ameraucana lines?

You know what? I have no idea. I just guessed their breed mixes because I got them from a farm that just gathered eggs from their chickens and hatched them. So all chicks there are mutts. The good thing is that if Ana and/or Elsa turn out to be boys I can take them back and trade them for different chicks, but I'm really hoping that at least Elsa is a girl. They are both flying out of the brooder already and their brooder is taller them 18 inches!
You want to know something interesting? Both Elsa and Ana are getting their feathers faster then all my other chicks did (my other chicks are 11 weeks).
Elsa is getting her feathers faster then Ana. OK let me explain better......

Ana and Elsa at 11 days old were the same weight, but had lots more feathers then my Brown sex link. (2 3/4 of an ounce)

At 13 days old they were both the same weight as my Black sex link. (3 ounces)

At 14 days old Ana was 1/8 of a ounce heavier then Elsa.

But I don't get it because Elsa has SOOOO much feathering!

Very confusing!

I have a mixed flock, and if I've learned anything about chickens in the past ten weeks, it's that there is no "standard" for feathering rates. My EE arrived with wing feathers at 3 days old, my Partridge Rock is starting her juvie molt and dropping feathers all over the yard, and my Speckled Sussex still hasn't grown her tail feathers. Go figure.
