Easter Egger club!

[iwanaplae2]

My girls are 4wks old now, and getting so big! The coop is done ( except for some cosmetic things). I've got my permit app turned in and am anxiously awaiting the city to do their inspection. They said it could take a week to get somebody out here (I should have turned I in a week ago) I'm hoping it won't be much longer than that. The girls are gonna need more room soon.
On one hand I'll miss having them in the house. But on the other hand I will be glad to have the corner of my dinning room back. Not to mention no more "dust" from them. They kick up so much dust, and I usually spend an hour or so coughing after playing or holding them.
My DH was pretty much just trying to make me happy in agreeing to "let" me get the chickens to begin with...but now I find him over in the corner watching them and laughing! He even likes to hold and pet them... Ya I've got him hooked! LOL

Haven't posted pictures of my EEs since they were tiny. I managed to get pictures of 3 out of the 4. The rest of our 11 are various Wyandottes. They are about 3 months old now. Still eagerly awaiting those gorgeous eggs but are having so much fun with our first flock!


Cupcake super fluff cheeks on the left and Kung Pao peaking in on the right.

nice photos - "chipmunk" looks alot like the one we had, but got attacked & killed by a couple dogs 2 weeks ago.
also, our 2-tone EE roo did his first crowing today - kindof a late start @ 18 week old

Ok so Rizo is a little camera shy...these were the best pics I could get since the little stinker would rather fly off my dinning room table! (I realize it could still be to early) But could somebody Please Please tell me if they can tell, boy or girl...?

Based on color I would guess pullet.

Rizo looks like one of my girls but these are my first so I'm certainly no expert.

Well I will continue to hope so... I would hate to find a new home for Rizo.

My little girl jeb is playing the I'm gonna lay soon game!!! In and out of nest boxes, scratching at them, squating, etc. I'm so excited to see what color she's gonna lay!!! My other girl tweety is showing no signs as if yet. It's like Christmas!!!

OK here is a problem for the more experienced EE owner. I hatched 2 EE eggs from MyPetChicken, both came out black,tufted,bearded, and rose combed. One is definitely a roo (crowing, aggressive, and double spurred. The other looks about the same except slightly smaller comb,no crowing, and small single spur. She/he also has a full arched "rooster" tail. My question is there a chance they could have Sumatran in the background? I know EE are a mutt breed but that seems like an unlikely mix to me. Any ideas?
