What do you think this chick will turn out like? I heard it was an Easter egger but want to know exactly what it will look like or at least hints

EE are a lesson in patience b/c you can have two birds that look identical at this stage and turn out completely different as adults.

If I were pressed to guess I'd guess partridge, chocolate/khaki. But you never know, s/he could feather in much lighter or darker. It's true, you really never know.

First time hatching chicks! I pulled up a chair and watched them hatch all day

Quote: Stacy, I just hatched out an ee/buff orp egg and it's not quite fluffed out yet, but it's looking an awful lot like your little one...lighter beard/muff area, a stripe on it's head and some fainter dark stripes on the back and wings. Your chicks are soo cute! Maybe hubby will have a change of heart!

They can be use to make EEs when crossed with other breeds, but they are breeds themselves that lay green and blue eggs.

My bad, sorry I'm a newb.

I don't think so. They are blue egg layers but as purebred animals they aren't EE. An EE is a mutt by definition. They are any mixed breed blue/green egg layer of any kind. Usually bearded with pea or rose combs, and sometimes rumpless. There is no standerd body type, color, or size.
Some would say you're birds are " better" than an EE because they are purebred plus they lay a more truly blue egg.
