Easter Egger club!

How old does this white EE look? I got her about six weeks ago.
That's a bantam beside her in this pic.

Maybe 8 to 10 weeks?

Thanks!
I was thinking about 8 weeks but wasn't sure.

Your EE looks like it's a white araucana who failed the tufts and tail test. I have two black EE's who are the same, except one has no tail. I think think they are quiet pretty even with the tails, and un-tufted mind you,

I got her from Bomgaars and the sign said that she was a Ameraucana, but she has no beard and a couple black feathers so I think she's a EE.

Feed stores do not sell pure Ameraucana. They sell mislabeled Easter Eggers.

Wanted to share the new addition of easter eggers. Just purchased today from a local breeder. She said Hen was a salmon Faverolle and rooster is a Amaracauna = Favacauna
Saw the parents beautiful birds. What do you guys think both hens or the white and black man be a roo lol? I think he is a possible roo.

I got six Easter Eggers from a local feed store. They had 3 colors, so I got two of each.

The chipmunk looking ones seem to be Silver Ameraucana oddly, I can't find any feature flaws in them. The partridge colored chicks are unbearded, and look pretty common as far as easter eggers go. They have this kind of Yin yang thing going since one has a red head, and dark body, and the other has a black head, and red body. Now the black chicks, they were a surprise. Like your whites they seem to actually be Araucana not Ameraucana. I suspect they are rejects due to the lack of the tufts, so they were sold as EE's. The only way I can tell the two apart is one has a short tail, and the other is nearly rumpless.


Never trust the sign at a feed store when they are referring to Ameraucana, or Araucana. Most of the time you get EE's. How sometimes when you buy EE's you get a surprise like pure blooded Ameraucanas, or even Araucana who were hatched with the lethal features.

Your chicks are so cute! You will have to keep us updated as they grow up. It will be interesting to see what they look like once they feather in.
