Is this an Easter Egger?

[dearheartshomestead]

Hi there! We purchased six chicks as “pure read Easter Eggers”. They don’t look like pics of any Easter Eggers I can find. Are they Easter Eggers or something else? I am trying to determine gender, but don’t know what kind of a chicken they are . They have puffs on their head and feathers coming in on their legs and feet.

They're Silkie mixes

No such thing as pure breed Easter eggers. They're just a mixed bird with the possibility of laying a colored egg. So yours vert well could be EEs. Probably something mixed with silkies

Thanks guys! Any idea how I would go about telling gender?

How old?

Probably female then, but not certain for a few more weeks thanks to that silkie parent

We received a few random chicks from ideal poultry as “ packing peanuts “ for the turkeys we ordered. I was wondering what this little chipmunk could be. I think Easter egger. Any thoughts?

Agreed Easter Egger, or EE as they're called on here. Fingers crossed it's a pullet!
