Easter Egger club!

I have an easter egger question. Do all easter eggers have the blue/green legs or can they have yellow legs?

They can have Blue, green, dark grey, slate, or even black. Never seen an EE with yellow but it could be a possibility. Does it have the classical muffs or beard that EE's normally have, does it lay green or blue eggs? If so then its an EE.

Do EE's have the tendency to go broody?

I just can't remember. It's actually my sisters bird and I am just in love with it. I'll get some pictures and post. Then we can see what everyone else says. She got her as a trade. A pullet she bought turned out to be a he and the guy that sold it to her offered her an EE as a trade.

Depends on the bird. My EE went broody twice and breaking her broodiness the first time took sooo long that we decided to give her some eggs this time.

My EE hen has a cream colored comb and barely any comb at all! I read the bigger and redder the comb on the hen. Tends to be the hen the Rooster chooses first or more often. Since she lacks this trait and don't believe will her comb will do anything more then maybe turn pink/ red. Will he mate with her? I purchased them together and they never leave each other's sides.

Here are my 5 week old (hopefully) pullets.

The largest is a peachy-orangey speckled color (no orange shoulders) with a large vertical tail.

The smallest is a silvery speckled color with no tail.

The other is black and white with a large vertical tail.


Any clues as to whether or not they're all girls?

The short tail is probably a cockerel . Cockerels grow tail feathers slower . Black is a pullet . The orange one I can not see well enough but if the tail is large like black then pullet .

My chicks are just 8 weeks now, and I have been noticing that my EE keeps her tail down, all the time. Is this a normal pullet thing? or is she a roo in disguise? Ive had multiple guesses that she is in fact a she and I love her so much that I would like to make sure she stays with us. Here are some pics to show that I took today.








Edited to show this pic I took of her about a week ago:
