@AUChickenGal
I think Ethel is very pretty. Nice egg color too.

Thank you! I am very pleased with her egg color, and she gave me another just like it today.

Anyone here have an EE that started off yellow with very diluted chipmunk markings? Curious to see how this one feathers, I haven't had one like her yet. She has some serious eyeliner going, too.

@summerb123, she is a BEAUTY! Do you have a baby pic, by chance?

Here are the two EEs in my brooder right now posing like they're divas. The hatchery where I bought them makes am effort to give you EE chicks that you can tell apart. And wow, did they! The silver chipmunk is S. Theodora and the blonde is Moxie.

They look different right now, but that is no guarantee that they won't end up looking identical as adults.

How do you figure?

Just one of those things when it comes to Easter Eggers. You can have two identical chicks that end up looking completely different as adults. Or you can have two chicks that look nothing alike end up being identical as adults. That's what makes them so much fun. It's all a mystery.

Oh. I don't think it's a complete mystery, just not well-documented. I'm noticing that the silver chipmunk has almost no brown on her. The V on her head is black. The back stripe is almost entirely black. Whatever could it mean? Well, fingers crossed she's going to be B/W patterned. And she definitely had one rose combed parent... Maybe a dose of Wyandotte?

Hatchery sourced Easter Eggers aren't really mixed breeds. Doubt there is any Wyandotte in either of them.

Huh?
