I just picked up 3 chicks today from a family that orders a bunch from the big hatcheries and sells them.
This yellow chick is supposed to be an Easter Egger. But I don't see a muff or beard (or maybe it's too early to show up). She also had different production reds (Red Sexlink, Cinnamon Hybrid, and ISA Brown). Afraid maybe I accidentally got one of those. Can anyone tell??

The seller went back and double and triple checked the counts and she says it's a Easter Egger for sure. Been reading on the Hoover site (which is where they are from) and on forums here. I guess their new EE don't have beards and muffs. And often have single combs and yellow legs and crests and lay green eggs! So we will see!
 
I got her at 3 mo ... A friend had purchased chicks at TSC/Hoover in March 2022 & didn't like her looks, my GrandDaughter picked her (I wouldn't have) got her in June '22. She's very skittish, lays a brown egg that weighs 2.3 - 2.4oz, skips 1 day a week and not complaining.

Got one like that from Rural King/Hoover.
Only difference is she has the olive legs. But looks the same feather wise.
She doesn't have the beard/muff. Got her in Feb & she's feathered prettily now. Two tones.
What color eggs? Does she have the tuff on her head, that's why I'm sure this one's part Legbar but so a bit disappointed in the brown egg although I over look it since her eggs are good sized.
