My EE is older...

[ESofVA]

She is now about 3 months old.... I assume she is an EE? No puffs around her face, pretty though. Rather like ps

Puffy cheeks are kinda key with EEs. She does look like she has a little puff. She may be a EE that has been crossed out to much with other breeds. Hopefully someone else has some insight but I would call her a barnyard mix. :/. I guess the eggs will tell in the end.

Defiantly pretty.

Yes, definately an EE. I have a beardless and muffless EE.

She lays blue eggs too!

I have a green egg layer that has a beard and muff. EE breed is my favorite.

She is definitely a lovely EE!

Beards and muffs aren't necessary for an EE. While both are dominant traits, because an EE is kind of a mutt to begin with, they can be cleanfaced. Just like they can be any color, have any comb, any leg color, etc. It seems that ancestry to a blue egg layer is important, though. But hatchery EEs can potentially lay any color egg, not just a blue shelled egg.

x2 they arn't a regulated breed, so anything goes with them. While I like my EEs to always have a beard, there's no EE police out there slapping hands with rulers about it.

This girl the OP posted is gorgous!!

I agree as well. EE's should have bears and muffs ideally, but they don't need to have them. She does seem to have somewhat of a beard.

Either way she's pretty!
