EE Chicks

[PittyLova]

I picked up a few EE chicks from the local store hoping to add some blue to our eggs. I was wondering if anybody else had chicks this color and what they ended up looking like when they feathered in.

EE’s are very difficult to pin down. You can never really tell what they’re going to look like. I’ve had to identical chicks grow up to be completely different. I’ve also had a blue/gray chick grow up to be red.

I had 3 chicks which looked very similar to yours in the picture. However, one was sandy tan colored, the other was bronze colored, and the third was dark brown!

Guess that's part of the fun then!

You won’t know for several weeks. Then they will have their full molt next year, and their look will change again! EEs are such a mixed bag!

I have several EE in my flock. Each one is so different. They are so sweet!

I agree with others. I had 2 identical EE and now one is starting to look brown and the other red.
