first chicks i got what are they?

[patrickvol]

i got 2 EE chicks off craigslist and this is what they grew in too
the two red chicks

The two red chicks look like Production Reds...nothing Easter Eggerish in them at all...although technically Easter Eggers can look like almost anything but usually they have beards/muffs, green legs, and a pea comb, and at least carry the blue egg gene...

But I wouldn't leap to Easter Egger with those two...I'd be deciding between hatchery quality RIR or simply Production Red.

Good news is they both look to be pullets.

The red ones are NOT EE. They are either RIR or Production Reds. You'll be getting lots of eggs from them!!

those look like production reds not ee. to me everyone at this age looks to be cockerels but it is a bit early to tell for sure but they all already have red combs

I blew the pic up and it looks like they might have small beards and muffs. It's hard to tell from the photo. IF they do, then they could be EEs. I've never seen one that was completely red, but they are cross breeds, so I guess it's possible.

i will try to get some better pics of them

the black/white chick and the red chick on the left are roosters. the red chick in the middle looks to have a single comb, but the male has a pea comb. its possible red/ee crosses, Ive seen people cross 2 differnt breeds and call the chicks pure (like leghorn+ RIR = leghorn)??

did they hatch them, or buy them. If they hatched them from thier birds, ask if they will send pics of the parents.

It looks like you have a cockeral and a pullet ( the one on the left is the cock) Also, considering they both look to have beards and muffs, I would say they are EE mixed with another brown egg layer. They also have pea combs, so maybe you'll get green eggs yet!

i was thinking the red chick on the left was a rooster with the black coloring.
