Easter Egger club!

Is the one on the left an ee? I got her with 5 other ee but she doesn't have the little puffy cheeks like the rest.

Still an Easter Egger. I've had a few clean-faced hatchery birds, myself.

wow someone else with a chicken allergy!! Same as you, can't have the meat but cam have the eggs. I also homeschool the twins who have autism. He has the same photographic memory as your friends son. It's amazing. Is that all you have right now-Cornish meat birds?

No, I've never raised Cornish X meat birds but that's what about 95% of the supermarket and restaurant and fast food industry uses. Cornish X got started in the 50's when chicken was a high-priced supermarket item -- Cornish X was human-engineered to grow fast, economically, and ready for market/restaurants by 2 months old -- but that fast growth caused all sorts of health issues plus crowded poultry conditions so hormones and antibiotics were routinely used to keep the chicks alive until slaughter. I think that's where my youth allergies came from are the supermarket/restaurant artificially treated Cornish X's. Today I have only 4 hens raised on organic feed and we only eat their eggs - 2 Silkies, 1 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana, and 1 Blue Breda:

OK so my beautiful chica, the one in my avatar, Crowed eight times this morning. Everyone keep saying it's a female but I can't keep her regardless if it's a boy or girl because she's making too much noise. If anyone around Jacksonville wants her. We can work out a deal but I got to get rid of her quickly

I would love to know what makes these girls so noisy. Our Blue Wheaten Ameraucana is so noisy it embarrasses me when the neighbor looks over the fence to see what's up with her!

My friend' EEs are very noisy too. She gave them to her son who lives in a more rural town where the noise is more tolerated.

6 weeks and loving them. Just chirps, no crows so far.

If the pea combs stay a pastel pink past two months old they should be female. The following video can help define cockerels from pullets and there's an EE pullet on the video:

Besides some EEs not having puffy cheeks, some don't lay the expected blue or green eggs either - one surprised customer got a white egg from her EE pullet!

I wish I was closer to you. They are both beautiful girls. I hope you find a home for them.

Did anybody have any guesses on the genders of the chicks I posted several days ago?
Have a great day everybody.

thank you, they were beautiful. They do have a home now but the man my husband talked to said they look female except for their combs look like a late developing three row comb. They may have been mail all along. But everything else was female except for the crowing
