From where did you get them? Do they even have pea Combs? A male pea comb has three rows, btw. My EEs from MM were clean faced like yours so I sold them. They did lay blue, though.

 

[meetthebubus]

what do you mean clean faced?

 

[SunHwaKwon]

No muffs and beards. Yours don't look to have any, or if they do they're very subtle. Maybe it's the picture angle. I can see Marshmallow's in the close-up.

well thanks for the reply and explanation, but they are still very young only 5 weeks and still feathering!

also ee's are a mixed breed and there is no standard for them, so as long as they are healthy, sweet and laying their eggs (colored or not) I'm excited!

I wasn't asking for someone's expertise this is a picture forum.

@meetthebubus they look happy and healthy, and you're right, EE's don't really have a standard because they are mutts. I think they deserve lots of oohs and aaaahs, who cares about if they have a proper muff or not! That feather pattern on the group shot makes them kind of look like little owls Looks like they will have good camouflage feathering when they develop.

@SunHwaKwon perhaps you are right no hard feelings

"Easter Eggers are not an APA recognized breed, they are a mix of different breeds with one parent carrying a blue egg-laying gene. According to the Easter Egg Club of America, EEs are “the most popular chicken in America today.” Easter Eggers can lay a rainbow of egg colors, including: any hue of blue or brown or any combination of the two. Traits include pea combs and wattles that are either small or absent, usually possess greenish legs and beards with muffs some are clean faced depending on their parents. Easter Eggers do not breed true. Ameraucanas have been bred from different strains of Araucanas since at least 1960 in the United States. The American Poultry Association recognized Ameraucanas as a breed in 1984. Ameraucanas lay blue eggs. Got a pink egg? Probably a EE or some other breed.
