Easter Egger club!

[combatfuzzball]

Here's my girls! They were sold as Americaunas at the feed store, but from what I read here, they are usually actually Easter Eggers! Excited either way since I've never raised chicks. Is there a general final coloring that goes with the chipmunk coloring?

Not that I
ve noticed with my 8. I have everything from an almost white with black on up to a nice Reddish brown. Most of them had the chipmunk stripes as well.

Looks still like a pullet to me, but I've got only a little experience in Easter Eggers. We had one 'lady' last year that had very similar colors as a young pullet and turned out to to be a stunning beautiful hen who laid big light blue eggs about 3 days a week.

Not too young! I'd say she's a pullet! Here is my favoritest link ever to sex EEs with - and it helps with sexing all breeds!

I was hoping for that!
Thanks to both of you and thank you for the link Peepers!

OK, So that means no F'lar for your Lessa. I guess you could get a golden goose and name her Ramoth...

Nope. All the EEs I've had have never grown up to be the color we expected. I have two right now that have REALLY blown me away. Suzzie was almost solid blue with a red face, and she's growing in SILVER
Then there's Pickles. She looks a lot like your babies, but a shade lighter. She is also growing in silver

Yay!!!!

My "Emma". Was dark solid chocolate brown. Feathered in black and white. So silver I guess. But totally not what I expected.

Hi everyone! Meet my two EEs, Ainsley and Amelia.


Here's a decent comparison of how their feathers are starting to come it. I'm so fascinated and excited to see what they'll grow up to look like! (Amelia on the left, Ainsley on the right)
