She looks just like my EE minus the beard/muff:She has had green legs since day one. I have posted her three times in the easter egger tips and tricks thread and no one has ever question her being an easter egger. Hmmm. No idea what to think now.
That bird is penciled, not laced.She looks just like my EE minus the beard/muff:
My birds lacing. The lighting in both pictures just does not catch it, also my camera is not the best.
I think you have an EE not a Cornish.
Super glad I had a chance to see these birds. I got a pullet I been wondering about. Have my guesses but almost look like they could be same gene pool! Lol small world.(don't mind my make shift,not old enough for coop/too big for broader pen)She looks just like my EE minus the beard/muff:

The blue egg gene likes to travel with the pea comb gene . Even that is not absolute as you can have blue eggs with any comb type . No linkage to other traits . Think of EE as more of a land race . Many of the hatchery birds are very close to the first imported birds from South America . EE have a lot of variation . Reasons = genetics .question here:
how come there are so many different variety of EE out there and they are still EE? just because the hatchery calls them EE, are they really EE or are they Aracaunas?
can we TRULY guess what color eggs they will lay ahead of time?? I've heard check their legs, check their ears, check the back feathers...ANY of this actually true?
our EE are heading to 8 wks and i have officially changed their feed to NON medicated chick starter grower feed this week!!
our 3 are the only chicks to have gotten pecked, they are the most difficult to come when called in and yet they love their special attention. 2 of them have the fluffy faces & 1 is long-any reason?
With out the down/judgemental side of sounding "politically or socially incorrect" in the back yard world...it's like when you fill out a census/survey for your nationality...there's either this, this,or other. It's a new realm or 'history of lineage',if you will. All we can do is try to log honest info&watch. Log pics& info for facts-if it's mixed with this or that=outcome. Sorry if I'm offending anyone it's kinda just a scientific approach. People can never make up their minds&agree. If they are your chickens&you like them, roll with it. If you want certain types just be ready to invest more $ or effort for all the info&efforts that went into creating &isolating it genetically. Make sense at all? We are all yoked life's about just defining yolked for you/your standards. Then just roll with it. Folks often say they like a person who knows exactly what they want,REALLY? How come instant,hateful,emotional&judging reactions insue often after that's revealed? If we take a mirror&look deep in our own eyes, it's that we envy their assurance in something we can't have, or enjoy RIGHT away. Instead of hating yourself and then as a devouring pack tearing down a perfect peacock when it stands before us for once why not cheer&appreciate it for what it actually is? Gonna post lyrics to a powerful song..check it out (just because it's a kid flick do NOT think it's not REALLY powerful). Enjoy the day people&just enjoy your birds. Some people can't have birds and will never get to watch one pip&zip or cuddle a chick under their chin. Stop taking SO much for granted!question here: how come there are so many different variety of EE out there and they are still EE? just because the hatchery calls them EE, are they really EE or are they Aracaunas? can we TRULY guess what color eggs they will lay ahead of time??

there are so many new things i'm learning this year, much more than i ever thought i would.
