In the Brooder
Updating: 2 EE's that I'm assuming are about 8 wks old? Still need better comb photos so I can get some help sexing.

Neither of these birds look like Easter Eggers. The first looks like a Columbian Wyandotte. The second looks like an Austra-White.
Quote: The white one looks like a pullet. It also has blue legs, so no telling what your breeder is using for making EEs. Wyandotte looking one, I'm not sure. Leaning toward pullet.
There is no way that 'pure' breeding stock would produce that kind of variation in chicks. One has a rose comb (dominant) and yellow legs (recessive), the other has a single comb (recessive) and white skin (dominant). He is mixing breeds to produce his Easter Eggers. They certainly aren't the typical Ameraucana-type birds. He's definitely been adding things to the mix.Hmmmm, I get my birds from a local person who has all his breeds separated because he only sells quality purebred chicks. He is registered with the Texas Animal Health Commission and PT tested (diseased free) by Texas AM. These two came out of the same run from a handful of others that all looked similar (some with the rusty red look) and he said they were EE. Even if they are not EE's, they should not be two different breeds because he does not mix ever and they were together. In the big picture, I don't mind what type they are. My flock does not accept them at all though. Biggest question is: Hens or roos?
If the rooster is a purebred Barred Rock, all of his chicks should get a barring gene.Question: If I have a barred rock roo and an ameraucana hen...could I get barred pullets? I was told the reverse would result in barred males. I am trying to figure out how to get barred pullets, if possible. Thanks
