Also, she isn't very friendly. She is the least of all of them, actually. She has always been very skittish since she was a chick. I have been trying to hold her everyday to get her used to us but whenever I get to close she runs away and starts nervous clucking. We have raised them kindly and the same as the others (who love to cuddle)
Awesome, thank you so much!
Is this a hen or rooster?
Hi. I also purchased the Starlight Green Egger. I got mine from Hoover’s. They’re 9 weeks old. I also purchased Welsummers with the same batch and still to this day cannot tell them apart. Possibly a slight difference in chest color. Anyhow, it looks like you have the SGE. I have a light colored one as well. They vary based on what breeds are crossed. I’ll attach photos of both of my color variations. The one on the right is a wyandotte, second from right it my light SGE, and the two on the left are the darker possible SGE. I’m highly confident my brown egg later crossed with the bluebell was a Welsummer
Thanks! It’s comb is huge, that’s why I asked. I have a 5 week old starlight green egger and I’m worried it might be a rooster due to the comb size but if they get combs that size then there might still be a chance mine is a hen also. Thank you! Here’s a pic. It’s the white one.
Can I ask, why you think it’s a male? Im trying to learn the distinctions.
Interesting. 2-3 years ago they were red and white shading towards red. Lots of penciling. However, they all had a juvenile phase where they were primarily white, then molted that out. One of ours was called Angel due to her gorgeous white wings - yeah that didn't last. Not only did her adult feathers come in mostly red, she turned into the meanest bully we had. Definitely not an Angel!All of our Starlight Green Eggers are mostly white.
