Absolutely! She came from a hatchery, and I went into it knowing she wouldn't have consistent characteristics, she just looks so different from all of the other EE photos after scrolling around online.Unfortunately a Fibro Easter Egger isn't a breed nor is an Easter Egger so there's no standard for them.
There's nothing set in stone as to how they should look. Also unfortunately an Easter Egger isn't even expected to lay blue or green eggs at this point.
I would assume a Fibro Easter Egger was meant to be a cross to achieve a black skinned EE.
Many people sell what should still be considered a project as the finished project. Others sell fibro birds that are the best example of fibro.
I would guess yours is exactly what it was sold to you as. It clearly has fibro genes and I'd expect that breeder at least used something said to be an EE in the project.
Now if it actually lays colored eggs will be up in the air until it starts laying but that's typical with EEs theses days.
I'd assume you were expecting muffs, pea comb etc as most all EEs used to have. The EEs have now expanded far from what they used to be so now their is no certain look they should have.
The thing that got me was she looks really similar to another breed altogether, the Black Sumatra (that was my guess), with the green feathers, longer tail, and lean body. So curiosity got me and I wondered if it was an actual mix up or if that's just how she looks.
Whatever she is, she's a great bird!
