I want EE's so badly! Next spring when I get my Wyandottes maybe!! I'm sorry if I'm cutting in or anything, just saying!

I have a color question, if anyone has any input! I hatched out three EEs, they are 6.5 weeks old. One has been yellow/cream since hatch, the other two blue/black, they are all from the same person. I noticed yesterday that the yellow one's under feathers are coming in blue, you can only see them when you spread her wings or lift feathers. Should I expect her overall coloring to change? Just curious if anyone has one like her!

Daisy, the yellow pullet.

close up of under feathers, difficult to show in a pic, but a pretty thick layer of blue/grey coming in all over her back/legs/rump

Her "sister" Cupcake

Daisy and her "brother" Pancake

Close up of black/grey probably roo, Pancake.
My other two EE's are more of the classic reddish/brown, so these colors are new to me. Thanks!

I've got some that look similar. One of the m has the duckwing pattern of the classic EE, the other does not.

If it is just the one hen maybe she filled up on oyster shell one day and it is still backed up in there?

It is just the 1 EE. I took the oyster shell out of their pen yesterday and gonna just give the egg shells to the ducks for now, they love em. Victoria has had fine large eggs for months and this has been going on for over a month if not close to 2, so I would like to figure it out. We'll see if i take the extra calcium out, how it goes. How long do you suppose it would take to get out of her system?

My sweet (and still nameless) roo made his first attempt at crowing this morning! I can't get over how handsome he is proving to be as his colors continue to come in, most recently his saddle feathers have started to come in and are the most beautiful orange and his head is getting more and more red feathering - can't wait to see what he finally ends up looking like. Here's a pic I snapped today, so wish the sun would have been out because he is even prettier in the sunlight From above:

Idk on the time to get oyster shell out; they essentially store it in the upper part as grit rock. I had one hen low on the pecking order nearly kill herself on it bc she filled on that; which was an od; then on top of that did not have room for regular feed! Seems like it was a few weeks of touch-and-go but yours is probably not nearly so severe! On the roo, he'll probably look like mine. stunning in person!

This is my latest pic of my EE/OE I believe it to be a batam and it has a single comb. It hatched from a smallish olive green egg. Let me know what you think.
