Hi everyone,
This is a great thread - thank you EastinChickens for starting it! I am new to chickens and the BYC website but I did notice that EE's are not a very popular topic LOL. I have ten 7-week old pullets and three of them are EE's. I think they are great and we are so looking forward to pretty egg colors! Here are my girls:
Feathers:
Liza:
Victoria:
Up until a few days ago, I thought that Feathers was a white rock! My friend gave her to me when she was 3 days old (she didn't know what breed it was). I thought it looked just like my white rock chicks until I noticed that she had green legs ... and then a few days ago I realized that she was growing a muff! What a great surprise to have another Easter Egger.
So Victoria doesn't seem to have a muff, does this mean that she isn't really an Easter Egger? Her tail feathers also stand straight up and I am hoping that that doesn't mean roo???
