This is the chick I got crossing my Lav Roo and Brown EE that looks like yours. I also got a blue chick out of my Blue/Tan EE.

This is what my chicks look like but they are still just hours old.

I have a hen sitting on 2 eggs from our lavender Orpington roo and EE hen. (There’s also a SLW/LO under her). The sitting hen is a buff Orpington but she’s got no eggs in the mix lol.

I cannot wait to see who hatches! Our roo looks like the one plaster above. Here’s our hen

What did the LO/EE chicks end up looking like? I have 4 chicks from mine and 3 and three are dark gray. One ( a roo) is dark gray with red feathers starting to come in. They are 10 weeks old now.

Larger than the EE, very fluffy like the Orpington. She’s got the EE beard. Her sister had a different comb. She’s 2yo.

I’m looking forward to seeing how mine grow out too. I had the opposite mix, a Lavender Ameraucana crossed with a Lavender Orpington hen and a Mauve Splash Orpington hen. I got two lavenders and one black chick. So far the two lavenders look just like lavender Ameraucana chicks, but the black one looks like an Orpington chick with a pea comb They were just gorgeous babies!

I have an Ameraucana(hen, all black) and Lavender(roo) mix. Her name is wolf. Think she’d count as an EE? If so in a few months I’ll have silkie EEs!

Im hatching EE mated with Lav. Orp. Roo very soon - i cant wait - also have welsummers mated with my Lav orp roo. Those chicks will also be cute and black.. any examples of that will be good to see.

Update on this hen. She lays I think pinkish eggs, seeing as her mom did I think it’s her. That or either olive or yellow-ish

I didn't have anything to do with breeding my hen, I hatched her egg from a blue egg, she lays a blue egg.

I am incubating her egg currently.

OMG i love her.. cant wait to hatch my EE eggs sired with LAV Orp Roo. Xoxoxo sounds like they can really get the best qualities of both breeds, fluffy…. Pea comb.. BEARD!! I love it.
