Thank you! My son picked him out of a group of 5 roos. My son was 3 at the time. He said, "That one! Daddy, can we have THAT ONE!" The fellow who owned them was one of our local surgeons/farmers. He is retired now so that makes him a farmer/surgeon, I guess. Super nice guy, lets folks fish in his pond. Gives away his extra birds. All around nice guy.

Question about my new little EE chick.

Two weeks ago I brought a 3 day old EE home, along with a silver lace wyandotte and RIR. Her comb isn't looking like a pea comb at all, in fact it's bigger than the other two chicks single combs. (granted they are all still pretty tiny lol) Her legs are also a brighter yellow than the other two. I've had EE's before and their Combs looked nothing like these. Their Combs were actually tighter than my Ameraucana's. I'm starting to worry she may not be an EE. I'll be happy with what ever she ends up, but I was so hoping for an EE.

Do they ever have single combs, or do I have a mystery chick? Thanks

EE can have other combs and they can lay colored eggs.... I have not had one yet with another comb and lay a colored egg, but I don't have many yet. It really sounds like you have a roo.... BTW.... Wyandotte don't have straight combs...

lol, Well that explains a lot. Thanks

I'll have to go on over to the wyandotte page and check out some pictures. I'm fairly new to the chicken world but really did my research on the breeds I started with. But I must admit the silver lace came home with me on a whim so I wasn't sure what kind of comb to expect.

Good to know EE's can have a variety of combs. She sure is a cutie. Possible roo?

I am new to chickens and picked an EE to be in my first flock. She is almost 3 weeks old and is seriously the coolest chick we have. She will follow me around the pen and is the first to jump in my lap when I sit down with them. She also is the largest of the bunch. Here is a pic of her at 2 weeks.

Anyone want to take a stab at my 5 week old? She's the result of a mixed color flock of ameraucanas, or she's a wyandotte. The egg she came from was very lightly tinted and hard to tell for sure. No one else wants to take a stab at gender/breed with her other than saying she's not am ameraucana. What do you think? Pullet? cockerel? Ameraucana? Wyandotte? thoughts?

Do you have both Wyandotte and Ameraucana roosters ? She could be a mix if you do. My first guess of you only have Wyandotte is that the birds is a Gold Laced Wyandotte Rooster or EE.

The eggs came from a man who was showing his birds at the NEPC. He has both ameraucanas and wyandottes but they are kept separate. I got an assortment of his eggs as swap for 3 quail roosters. The ameraucanas are kept in a mixed color flock. She should be pure whatever breed but maybe mixed colors. His wyandottes were supposed to be BLR, but I understand they come in a black form. Do you think the chick looks like a pullet?
