Easter Egger club!

It depends on the rooster.  I had one that started to crow at 5 weeks.  My cockerel now is 18 weeks and has not crowed yet.  He is starting to dance around the pullets so I'm sure it is coming soon.  

Oh thanks for the reply.

Sharp eyes! she is actually what I would consider an EE, as that coloring is not standardized. I didn't have a good amera photo though, and I wanted to illustrate the bearding of a pure bred bird, vs the not so fine bearding of an EE in the lower photo's.

I have an EE laying an almost white egg, is this normal?

About how many weeks before my roo starts to crow they are 14 or 15 weeks old now.

I had one that didn't crow tell he was 6 half months and another @ 19 weeks. So yes each one is different! The one who took the longest we had from day 2 of age but never really let us cuddle him much always stayed distance and started to flog my youngest child. He passed and we ended up with a new one much nicer and crows very little except for the morning!

Yes, that is not unusual. I've had some that lay really pale blue eggs.

I know this realy has nothing to do with EE's but could I plant a Passion flower vine near the chickens without it getting them sick or is it even poissones .
