Here's Tyrion. One of our favorite Easter Eggers.
Because of all the white & its fearless personality, we thought male.
Notice the upright stance in the pic above.
Comb turned red & tail curved. Again suspected male. No crowing, so we waited.
But wait.... Someone mentioned that an even pattern = female. Comb red, but small. There's hope!
Way to go Tyrion! (March 2014)
We love Tyrion's fearless personality. She's small but at the top of the pecking order. She'll take treats from the hands of strangers (others are too "chicken") and steal food from the big dog. Our dogs hate squirrels & rabbits; they chase them from the yard. Tyrion joins them. Our guard chicken is always on patrol duty & ready to chase - even when the dogs are inside the house. Squirrels beware!
This spring my daughter incubated eggs/ hatched chicks. We've been getting reports that Tyrion's daughters also enjoy a good squirrel or rabbit chase. Does anyone else have a chicken that does this? Should I try to teach her how to play fetch?
Gotta love the EE's personalities.
And here's the next gen of squirrel chasing pullets:
(We only kept the 1st one. The others are chasing rodents in their new homes.)
That is so cute how you have pictures of her as she got older! I took pictures of my favorite pullet this year to see how she changed over the months. I wish I had some chickens that chased mice. Mice are eating the corn that I have in my shed. That would be a blessing if they would kill them too.
