2 of my pullets had combs and feathering (not color but type) at that age. I am guessing pullet but could be the too young to tell.

Needing the expert opinions on this one of mine. Bantam EE, five weeks old and I've been told cockerel but want to make sure before I do anything.

I'm a victim of mislabeled chicks from The feed store. Someone told me these are
EE's... But they don't seem to have the characteristics I read about on here. Thoughts?

Forgot to add the other chick pic.
They are both roughly 7 weeks.

Pioneers/Dixie/Rainbow; different hatcheries have different names for them, but they are all the same thing. They are dual-purpose mixed breeds.

Is the other one the same? Or is she something else?

Both are probably the same thing. Pioneers have a wide range of colorings, since they aren't really a breed.

So excited! My 22 week old EE laid her first egg yesterday. Small olive green one!

My 19 week old Easter egger layed an egg!!

Her egg is the blue one. The first one is from my barred rock, second is a black silkie, third blue egg is from her.

Congratulations, it's so fun to see what color they will lay!

Im new here. Kids left home so got me some chickens. Could you tell my if this ee from the feed store, is a he/ she. I know the sex of all the others but not this one. I have been on this sight now for 3 months. Finally joined. Love readying the threads. Buy now you think I would know, but these red ones are really hard to sex.
