Incubator dropped

Oh yes many many EE have beard especially from certain hatcheries.

An EE is technically any bird that doesn't fit a standard and likely carries a blue egg gene. They are often mixes of Ameracauna and other breeds or may also have other blue egg layers in their heritage. EE bred to EE will generally give you birds with similar characteristics but there is no set standard color or pattern for EE.

Below is an EE chick I bred last year and you can clearly see his beard. Only one of his parents was bearded as his EE mother was bred by a chocolate cuckoo English Orpington.

Here is an EE hen named Belle that looks a bit like your boy.

You guys it's now holding its head up and moved to the food. I had ground up the food to try and help them out, but I think the electrolytes are working to help. Thank you guys so much.

Great news.... hoping for continued improvement. It is always a great feeling when you can nurse one back from a rough start. Thanks for keeping us posted.
