I call this on my chicken that has this the "Farrah Fawcett" hairdo.

Hello All!

I am here again with a question lol.

So as you can see in my picture my EE on the front left looks like she constantly has bed head. the feathers on her neck curl in a windblown mess. It is adorable however my other ladies don't have that (see second picture EE all the way to the right). Could it be what one of her "ingredients" is? Like her genetic makeup? What breeds have fly away feathers like this? I did check just in case for mites and it isn't that. Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure all I know is they're sex linked

They aren't sexlinked, but they can be sexed by the same rules as other barred/cuckoo breeds. 'Light" barring indicates male. Darker barring indicates female.
Of the Golden Cuckoos, looks like you have a male and a female. The Easter Egger looks male.

That EE looks like a pullet mid tail molt to me. But I'm also iffy on the first marans. That's pretty early for red wattles.
