Are EEs small birds? Until last week I have only had Tetra Tints (Road Island Red & White Leg Horn hybrid). I just got 3 EE chicks last week, they will be two weeks old tomorrow. They seem so small compared to my Tetra Tints when they were babies. My Tetras grew so fast I swear I could see them growing but my little EEs seem like they have hardly grown at all. They are happy and healthy, running around keeping up with their mama (my broody hen took them in the minute she saw them!) but they just seem so little.
It depends on what the parent breeds were. Since EEs are not purebreds, they are created by crossing different breeds to get colorful egg layers, they come out different sizes, shapes and colors...just like treats out of Easter eggs!
