Easter Egger growing red feathers on the wings!

[chickenlver2013]

Ok my 10 week old pullet has started to develop red or rusty spots on the wings. Her father is an Easter Egger and her mother is a Red Sex-Link. Maybe it's the red passed down from her mother starting to kick in?

I would guess it is just the red leaking through since it is on the wings and not on the shoulder blades

Probably just some red leaking through from her father, as she definitely looks like a pullet.

But her father never had red on him.

Sorry, I meant her mother (the red sex-link). I typed in the wrong thing...

That's different patterning than red from a cockerel. I have a hen who kind of did the same thing, I thought she was going to be a rooster. She developed a lot more red than your girl might....


This is her now, at over a year. I don't have pics from when she was younger, but she was much lighter overall and started getting reddish just like your bird.
