Easter Egger? Is her fatty neck normal?

[newchck]

Hi all! This is our chicken Big Girl. I am a fist time chicken mama and want to know if all of this fat on her neck is just her body shape, or if it leads to something being wrong? Also, is she truly an EE?, she is so big! I also attached pictures of our other girls just for fun, thanks!!

Lol! That is not a fatty neck, that is a beard! My EEs have them. It’s just like a crest.

She is an EE.

That 'fat' is an enlarged muff/beard. How many toes does she have on each foot ? It almost looks as if she has a Salmon Faverolles influence in her DNA.

She has 3 toes in front and a tiny toe on the back!

I completely agree. Struck me too. It's likely.
