Is this EE chick considered “brown”?

I don't know if this will help, but this is a sister and brother, the darker chipmunk colored one is a cockerel and the odd fluffy one turned out to be a pullet lays blue eggs now. these are some comparison pics I took as they were growing up.

Oh thank you! That wing banding looks really familiar! Cute little babies! Thanks for those pics! :-D

I also have EE ("Mel") and she (hopefully) is also a cheeky little thing! At three weeks old, she has some serious 'tude to all the other chicks so thinking she's going to be at the top. This pic was from last week - she has really fluffy cheeks. I read that females have more distinct lines than males but one never knows ...View attachment 2103987

OMG! So cute! Wings look identical to my little squirt. Mine also acts as the boss of the other three chicks, and has had some very cheeky escapes from her pen when I open the door etc! I think this chick (if she turns out to be 'she') will give my other Easter Egger (who's of course is top of the pecking order of my hens) a run for her money at the top!

You're welcome.

Here’s a pic of my other Easter Egger, "Hedwig", as an adult and chick (she was THE CUTEST CHICK!) Is there any official name for her chick coloring and adult coloring other than Heinz 57 (mutt)?

Thank you!!!! I love knowing her coloring name (she's my fave hen)! Do you recommend any websites/books etc so I can learn more about chicken colors/names?
