Easter Eggers?

[Thancock760]

So, I am so confused on if these are Easter eggers. TSC, about ten weeks old now. They don’t have gray legs or fluffy cheeks. They all have single combs and yellow legs. I know that Hoover’s mixes together all sorts of stuff… but are these a particular breed by their coloring? Any help would ease my poor wracked brain- lol.

I think they're one of the new types of Easter eggers, of which there are many. Whiting true green is but one example. They don't look right for brown Leghorns or Welsummers to me.

Not all Easter Egger have muffs, you still have EEs

Exactly- they don’t quite look exactly like them…. Brown leghorn looks similar- as do welsummers at different points as they have been growing… but just not quite right….

Yeah. They are either some type of Easter egger, which I would bet on, or some other hatchery layer hybrid. They look nice and healthy.

Thank you!!! I am doing my best to take good care of them.

I would guess that they are still EEs! Just the new type like @JedJackson said!

Does being an Easter egger insinuate that they lay colored eggs?

Most of the time yes, as in mostly blues and greens. Browns and whites are possible as well though...

Sounds like a good mix!!!
