My 6 week old EE's... (and my Leo doggie.) Feed store sold as Ameraucana's but clearly they are EE. Pretty sure Pullets... What do you think??View attachment 2323860View attachment 2323861View attachment 2323864

They're both definitely pullets. Very cute!

Georgia is 16 weeks old now.
She is very tiny compared to my 3 other EE's. Im wondering if she is part bantam EE?. She is more orange now with blue/gray highlights. She is so pretty, yet super SPASTIC! Her saving grace will be her egg!

Georgia is 20 weeks /5 months old!
Really no change in her at all in the last 4 weeks. I think she's at least 4+ weeks from laying.

Dottie is 16 weeks old now.
Her feathering is cool. She fades from light to dark across her body. She is the friendliest EE of my 4

Dottie is 20 weeks/5 months old! Girl got quite an impressive beard & tuft!
Her pelvic bone spread is at 2! Her comb has grown some and she is becoming even more people friendly. I think within the next 4 weeks I will get an egg from her.

Coco is 16 weeks old now.
She is turning more of a beautiful soft chocolate brown. She is the calmest EE I have. I think she will be the first to lay of my 4 EE's.

Coco is 20 weeks/5 months!
She has had color on her comb the longest than the other 3. She is getting more skiddish & untouchable. Other than comb, she shows no other signs of lay any time soon.

Update: Destiny is 16 weeks old now! In the middle of a molt and slow to mature. Her breast is turning a pretty light salmon color! Any eggs
from her before 24 weeks would be a complete shock.

Destiny is 20 weeks=5 months!
She is the hardest to figure out. I still think she will be a late layer.

Here is Sparky at 3.5ish weeks
View attachment 2313980View attachment 2313981View attachment 2313983
and Sparky is 4.5ish weeks (first sign of a definite cockerel with that pinkish comb)

Here is Squirt at 3.5ish weeks
View attachment 2313989View attachment 2313990View attachment 2313991
and here is Squirt at 4.5ish weeks still the smallest and least developed but looks like the feathers are exploding in all at once.

Here is Ziggy at 3.5ish weeks

and here is Ziggy at 4.5 weeks
View attachment 2314002View attachment 2314003View attachment 2314004

so here they are at 5.5 weeks and 6.6 weeks still no clue if squirt and Maverik are going to be hens or not.

Here is Annabelle at about 5.5 weeks

and here is Annabelle at about 6.5 weeks

Here is Dotty at about 5.5

and Dotty at about 6.5 weeks old

Here is Maverik at about 5.5 weeks old

And here is Maverik at about 6.5 weeks old

Here is Sparky at about 5.5 weeks old

And here is Sparky at about 6.5 weeks old

Here is Squirt at about 5.5 weeks old

And here is Squirt at about 6.5 weeks old

Here is Ziggy at about 5.5 weeks old

And here is Ziggy at about 6.5 weeks old.

So on the 6.5 week old pictures, due to all of the smoke in the air, I had to take all the pictures inside, hence why they all look more yellowy then the other pictures. but they are getting so big, and no definite signs of any more roos other then Sparky, I am holding out hopes that the other 5 are hens. if you spot anything that makes you feel like one is a roo, then let me know. and besides flying around the pen erratically Sparky seems to be behaving himself, not overly aggressive, waiting on the coop to be built, so I'm sure they will be happy for all the extra space they will be getting. kinda glad though that i have not gotten them out into a coop yet, with all the smoke in the air i would worry too much about them being out there.

Oh my goodness, they have grown! Very pretty feathering.

This past Sunday 9/27 @ 22 1/2 weeks old Georgia did a full "Squat" for me! Her comb has developed in size & color quite quickly. She has calmed down a lot too
Hoping to get a beautiful egg from her soon

@Alyanna77

How are Coo and Blondie?
Any eggs yet?

 

[Duckee]

Dottie is 20 weeks/5 months old! Girl got quite an impressive beard & tuft!
Her pelvic bone spread is at 2! Her comb has grown some and she is becoming even more people friendly. I think within the next 4 weeks I will get an egg from her.

Dottie finally "squatted" today! She will be 24 weeks tomorrow. She is still 2 on pelvic spread. Coop change has kept most of my pullets from beginining to lay. But 2 of 4 EE's squatting now!
