I'm pretty sure these are both pullets.... what do you think??
Thanks! ten weeks old

Both look like pullets. You got some exotic colors too.

Thank you! The person who bred them said they come from a cuckoo marans x ameraucana cross. That must be where the barring comes from? Here is one more from that cross. Not as flashy, but still pretty IMO.

Back again at 9 weeks. Here's a link to my last post, containing a 4-week pic and a bunch of 6-week pics: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...-tricks-pictures-included/11090#post_16989215

Today at 9 weeks:

For education purposes here is a couple of my EE's from the beginning. A few of mine have had 3 row pea combs and had me waiting for a cock-a-doodle

Hakiki (3 row) pretty blue eggs






Journey (3 or very wide comb) pretty blue eggs






Chestnut- Lays olive colored eggs







Jet- Her Dad was Ayam Cemani and Mom was Cream Legbar and lays blue eggs (which I believe still means EE due to the blue gene). She is all black (inside mouth and feet even) but the white lacing.








Here is my daily bounty from these ladies and my Cohin mix!


Hope this helps with color sexing as well.

Jet is very cool looking.

I love this thread and thought I would add my EE's to the mix. My babies are 4 weeks old today, but I truly think I will wind up with 5 out of 7 cockerels. Not very good odds. I am questioning this one's color/pattern. The wings are very uniform and the chest is coming in a very light cream color with a light cream/pale brown flecks further down the chest. I was shocked when I realized the chest was so light. I will post baby, 2 week, 19 days, and 4 weeks. As he/she develops, I'll add to the post.

Smudge as a baby: (in the middle) has always been a washed out brown color with willow-y legs.


Smudge at 2 weeks:



Smidge at 19 days:



Smudge 4 weeks (current):



Is this pattern typical of pullets? The comb is pinker than I like, but it's only one row of peas.

Any guesses on these? (Sorry, no one was willing to hold them for multiple poses today)

Oh, how pretty. He looks like one of my boys, except the blue is lighter on yours.

Thank you! I think he is very handsome. Unfortunately, we can not keep roosters so I will have to find him a new home. The good news is I have a friend who wants him and will allow visitation.

I'm glad you have a place for him He really is a very handsome bird.

Here is a picture of mine that yours reminded me of.
He was seven weeks in this picture, the one on the right is a girl.
