Mystery Breed Chick?

[stephanieshim]

My 4-week old chick was supposed to be an Easter Egger but doesn't have a beard/muff. What is she?? What do beardless EEs look like in the future? Is she even an Easter Egger?!?

I’m super curious to see what Penny will look like in the future! Send pictures!!!

Oh yes, that's classic EE coloration. She might be a mix (like mine) but there's definitely EE in there.

Beardless EE/Silkie

Wow she is cute! Never seen beardless EEs but if she had one she would look just one of my hens when she was little!

Not all EE are bearded and/or muffed. She does look like a clean faced EE.

EEs don't have to have muffs/beards. I have 4 EEs; 2 bearded and 2 non-bearded. Non-bearded EEs look like any other non-bearded breed. Best wishes! EEs are super sweet!

This isn't my EE because mine isn't this old yet, but she will look like this.

Could you attach photos of your beardless EEs? I'm super curious!

Thank you for your help!
