Hopefully your pullet will lay soon. My 5 pullets didn't start laying until they were between 6 - 7months old. Maybe it was due to the time of year. Several of them molted before laying. But since it's summer right now, your pullet might lay sooner.These are 2 of my EE's from this years bunch! They are both 13 weeks old so hopefully only about 3 more weeks until they start laying!
As far as a name for the hen, I suggest something that goes well with 'bacon' since she and bacon are going to be a couple.These are 2 of my EE's from this years bunch! They are both 13 weeks old so hopefully only about 3 more weeks until they start laying! Anyway, the cockerel's name is bacon and I don't know a name for my pullet. What do you all think her name should be? Oh, and next year these 2 are going to be together so do you think there is a good chance of their chicks having the same color as the hen since they both are blue and red?
I was thinking eggs
All I could think about when you said Bacon was this tee shirt my son has from the Adventure Time cartoon and it has Bacon Pancakes on it. You should call her Pancakes!These are 2 of my EE's from this years bunch! They are both 13 weeks old so hopefully only about 3 more weeks until they start laying!

Yea! Sounds good to me!All I could think about when you said Bacon was this tee shirt my son has from the Adventure Time cartoon and it has Bacon Pancakes on it. You should call her Pancakes!
You already know Ana is a boy, which is correct. Richi Rich is a girl for sure. Now, Lucky on the other hand, looks girly based on feather pattern, but the comb is pretty pink and the shoulders have some rusty color, not quite the orange/red of a boy. I've seen some girls with pink comb, so unless Lucky's feathers turn rusty red and patchy, I think you have a girl.I have read a lot of this thread and I am having a hard time determining if 2 of my 3 Easter Egger chickens are Roo's or Hens. This is my first time having chickens and I hatched them out of eggs that I had ordered from ebay. Can you guys please help? Here are some pictures. I tried to get as many different views as I could:
This one was Ana (my daughter named her) I am pretty certain this is a rooster because of the red on his back and the red larger peacomb with 3 rows.
I am not sure about this one Richie Rich
Or this one Lucky
