Hens or Roos? EE or Americaunas???

The interesting thing about these two is that neither of them have combs and where there should be a comb there is no real color.... They are both about a month old.

Both look like Easter Egger pullets, for now. They're a little too young to be sure, however. All chickens have combs, though the comb that most Easter Eggers have (a pea comb) is small and sometimes hard to see on young birds.

Where did you get them from?

The yellow legs automatically eliminates Ameraucana as a potential breed for these chicks. I assure you, they do have some sort of comb, you just haven't learned how to identify different comb types. Easter Eggers typically have pea combs. They look like a series of small bumps. Another possibility is that they are just random, backyard mixes. If they have a rose comb, it will look like a flat wedge shape.
Pretty birds, though, and both look female at this point.

I got them from a friend of mine who has easter eggers....

I will post more pics soon... That way you can see their combs... thank you so much for your input!

I'm going with barnyard mix. If there are EE parents, you have a chance at colored eggs. Pea combs are linked to the blue egg gene. Since you can't really ID a comb at this point, I'm thinking they have pea combs, so you have a chance of colored eggs. Feel free to call them Easter Eggers, it's not like there's EE police who are going to come knocking on your door

.

Neither one is looking male at this point, but it's still too early to say pullets for sure.

They're pretty, love the coloring!

 

[drumstick diva]

thinking pullets at this point in time
