Oh great!! That would be the best if it's a she! Do you know if a first generation cross is still called by its two parents breeds or do they just go by Easter egger?

If she lays colored eggs, she's an Easter Egger. If she lays brown eggs, she's just a barnyard mix.

Yes shes a pullet but don't expect eggs soon, they normally lay around 20-25 weeks sometimes later, all chickens are different though.

She's beautiful! if there's only one row of peas on her comb, its a pullet...looks pullet, a cockerel would have some color starting in hackles/saddle area. Very sure you do have a pullet

Thank you! The pink comb was worrying me. Since all my chicks are different breeds, I don't have a clear reference to compare. If we were allowed roosters, I wouldn't mind, but since we are not I'm really hoping for a girl!
