I have read a lot on this great thread but still have questions regarding my five EE's....figure they say a picture os worth a thousand words, sooooo, here's a couple of each of my mystery chicks at about 9 weeks...what do you think? Looking forward to some other opinions! Thanks!
1) Coolest looking chick...fearful it's a 'he,' but not 100% sure...triple row comb but not really red and no sign of crowing yet...but coloring confusing...he or she? And if you can clear up the coloring question I'd appreciate it. Would this be considered orange/red on 'shoulders' if it's the top of the wings? And because it's patchy, not'dull' is that more 'he' sign than 'she?'
2) Blue/grey beard and belly, some barring on wings,even smaller comb than #1...girl?
3) Cool two-tone blue, some barring on wings...bigger comb, still pale but triple row...and not much of a tail to brag about...sigh...boy? (crossing fingers...girl,girl,girl,girl,girl!!!)
4) Color? Red/blue combo...not quite sure what he/she wants to be I guess...but love the blue beard and another small, pale comb, single row...girl?
5) Last, but not least....Ginger. Yep, she was named by my dd, who is also a ginger Oh yeah..thinking she's a she, but as stated before...not 100%. And, yes, I know her legs are not the usual color and her beard is pretty small...but she has to be an EE because the only other possibilities would be Blue Copper or Wheaten Marans or Bluebell, and I don't think that's what she is, and that's all I ordered--a mystery! Please share your opinion!
