Thank you I think so as well but it’s hard to ignore someone thinking it is.Looks like a pullet to me!
Do you know the breed? Easter egger?Thank you I think so as well but it’s hard to ignore someone thinking it is.![]()
I was told they were a cross of silver laced Wyandotte and possibly would be an olive egger. Time will tell… they came from my local feed mill.Do you know the breed? Easter egger?
That’s exactly what I thought BUT I began to seriously doubt myself. Thank you!Those are both totally pullets! And they are so very cute!!!
At 3 months old, a pea comb on a rooster would be larger and redder than the ones I see on your pullets here. Also, look at the shape of the hackle (neck) feathers - they're more rounded than pointy. Also her saddle feathers (at the base of her tail) are rounded, they aren't long and "stringy" like rooster feathers.
Also I think they're both easter eggers. Pretty birds!
Thank you!!Looks like a pullet to me as well!
Ok, colored egger. I was close.I was told they were a cross of silver laced Wyandotte and possibly would be an olive egger. Time will tell… they came from my local feed mill.
