So, my question is not about hackles, saddles, tails…but about male specific color and pattern on EEs.
I’ve read about “patchwork” patterns and red feathers, can you post a few pictures of examples? And is this evident as soon as juvenile feathering replaces down, or “teenage”/adult feathering prior to first molt?
As an example, I’ve included a few pics of a three week old easter egger that I suspect is a male based on my understanding of what I’ve read here at BYC regarding the coloring and pattern of male EEs.
Where am I right, or wrong?
Thanks for your input!
(how do chicks know the difference between when you NEED to get good pics of them, and when you’re just there to hang out with them??!! )
