Easter Egger Flock Colors and Growth

some group pics, you can really see how tiny cashew was for the longest time, and the sixth chick, foxtrot, was one that i lost, so that's why she doesn't have a post

How did you lose Foxtrot?

Beautiful birds.
EEs are my favorite.
However, you are listing them as ‘gold quail’ ‘red partridge’ when they aren’t these colors. EEs are not pure, so they will not be pure colors.
They look close to lay! I hope they lay beautiful eggs. The first is probably female, but keep an eye out.

yeah i know, i'm just trying to list whatever colors they're closest to in my eyes for my records aha. id love to cross them with a nice roo in the future, and working out color genetics is a fond pastime of mine ^^;
i'm super excited for eggs, even if the color isn't nice (they're just feed store chicks so i'm not expecting anything impressive) i'm just happy to finally have some ees!! <3

honestly not sure, she disappeared one morning. i suspect a hawk or one of the feral cats. never found any evidence but she was way too young to have wandered off, and if she'd been stolen, i would think the third would've stolen more than one baby
