Ive read every post on EE sexing tips and my head is spinning with confusion!
She was hatched on 5/23, so I know at 3 weeks, its probably too early to tell but BOO is the familys very favorite chick and she acts extremely different than the rest of the girls She struts a lot, barely peeps and Ive been hearing some weird sounds come out of her, like a weird warble. Shes my only EE, so maybe thats why she seems so different than the other girls. I got a mix of 5 different chicks (Leghorn, Barred Rock, Golden Comet, Cuckoo Maran and what was marketed as Ameraucana). She tends to watch over the flock, is the biggest, friendliest and the least shy. Her feet are pretty big. I can see three tiny rows on her pea comb much too early to turn red, but Im worried because of the way she acts and because of the plumage of chest feathers. She doesnt socialize like the other girls she is more curious and more aware of her surroundings. She was the smallest when we got them, and now she is the biggest! She is very suspicious Is my BOO a ROO? Were not allowed to have Roos here so it would be heartbreak.
Also, Im curious about the single and triple combs I think I read that triple combs will yield green or blue eggs and single will yield brown? Is this true? Of course there will be NO eggs if she turns out to be a roo!
Did anyones baby EE look like BOO and if so, can you post pics of what they look like now?
Thanks so much for any replies or guesses. Ill continue to update and post pics of Boo as (s)he gets older!
