Well, I will post her pics anyway. Looking at ya'lls pics, I think I may need to dabble in a few more EEs.

We had a "problem child" EE from the very start.
She was always pecking at and chasing all the other baby chicks.
We named her Cull early on.

She is almost 5 weeks old now and still the most difficult of the bunch.
She is no longer the bully, but she is always the last one to allow me to catch her.
And when I do catch her, she screams like she's being killed.

Anyway, she turned out to be quite pretty.

Here she is as a day old chickie:

And here she is at about a month old.

here are some of my latest batch of babies, they are now 2 weeks old.

I am curious if anyone can gander a guess at what colors they might turn into from looking at their feather color and pattern now.

Any one have any guesses on what to cross to get more that look just like Xena here?? I LOVE the coloring on her!!! Also, I think I read or heard somewhere that if they have a straight comb instead of pea comb that they will lay brown eggs, is that true??
