and these were what came with him.

NOT liking this guy AT ALL!!!! he is mean and VERRY loud!!!

This guy is so laid back thinking I may keep him for a buddy to the girl below.

Pretty sure she is a Cochin bantam but don't know what kind.

Your roosters are all so beautiful. My adolescent cockerels are just going through their final molt. I can't wait to see what they look like when they are all "grown up".

Hello all! I have three EE girls that are 30 weeks old, I got them as day olds. One is laying and the other two haven't even gotten red on their combs ye,t let alone thought about laying. What do y'all think? Do you think they will start in the spring and that it's too late this year? I'm in Central California.

Got a bunch of pullet easter eggers babies, one grew out to this guy.

Nice roo! He has more red than mine but very handsome. They could almost be twins I think.

They will lay once they are old enough. Keep an eye on the combs to darken and them to squat.

This is my 6wk pullet Lola. Will her body feathers change colors? They don't match her beautiful head and neck at all!

There are lots of Easter Egger pullets out there with dark heads and lighter, partridge type coloring over their bodies. It's unlikely that her coloring will change drastically. The drastic color changes usually means it's a male.

These are two of my Easter Eggers at 6 weeks old. The pullet is on the left, the cockerel is on the right.
This is what that pullet looks like now. She's about 20 weeks in this photo. She still has the same over-all color scheme from when she was a chick.

This is what the cockerel now looks like. He's now a gorgeous flaming red.

Has anyones EE roos just suddenly stopped crowing? I returned home yesterday and my guys were soundless. Hubby said they did nothing to them to make them not crow.(Hubby was farm raised, so crowing is not an issue.)I haven't seen any marks on either male but what the heck? I haven't heard em for a week and to get home and they are not crowing is not right.

Well have your roo's started crowing yet ????

Mine crow 24/7 and some neighbors say they hear them several miles away in the morning before the trucks start working and the daily noise drowns them out ....

Russian Orloff roo 6 months old .....





Spare breeding roo's standing on the grow out cage for chicks and the chicks in the cage are 6 to 12 weeks old then the adult grow out pen is next

....



From left to right EE, RO, BCM, EE and the one in the back of them is a EE roo also so there is 5 roo's on top of the cage checking out the new live stock ......

This one developed her distinct head and neck pretty early. I call her the Frankenstein chicken because she looks like she was pieced together.

Dooze - your pullet with become more colorful after her next two molts. She still will probably have a different colored body than the rest of her. I'm sure she will be beautiful though!
