Wow very similar !i got pepper from a guy across town. She has skate legs. Lays cream smaller eggs. Not bantam but smaller then my EE's. I'm curious how long has she been laying before she went broody? She always been my mystery hen. Smaller, smart and head of pecking order ! Must have some of the same blood. Almost everything about them look alike . I'm going to see if I can find chick pic ? Do you have one?
EEs & Orps are my favs as well. The orps are for cuddling & giant eggs. The EEs have quirky, fun personalities plus the blue-green eggs. One of our EEs is the recipient of all the "dumb blonde" jokes. She's absolutely beautiful but can't find her way out of the coop some days. Another is fearless! She bullies our 100lb dogs, will take treats from strangers, and chases squirrels. (HATES squirrels!)
I thought I posted mine awhile ago, but don't see them. EE were first on my list for their unique eggs. (My daughter is almost 2 and I think it would be fun for her.. Plus.well really I loved it.) All 3 are supposed to be pullets.

All three so far look like very Charming pullets
The 1st two look like girls. Can't tell with the 3rd. less feather development.I thought I posted mine awhile ago, but don't see them. EE were first on my list for their unique eggs.

Still could go either way. Usually, you can't tell until they get their head feathers. Pullets get an orange-gold color, while males get more of a brick red. Of course, a lot more depends on what breeds went into your EE.I just noticed Pru is getting some more red on the wings. Common or roo?
