Yes... yellow chicks will give you white birds usually.  Wheatens hatch yellow/white and turn later to buff colors.  I have some pics of my Super Blue Egg Layers in my siggy... they are all white with black leakage.  They hatch yellow with black spots on most.

I like your super blues, but those lavender Roos are stunning! I wish I was closer to you, maybe I can find an EE breeder here in AZ. I love the unique breeding programs individuals have going, very interesting.... Maybe someday I will quit riding horses and start breeding chickens!

Hello, all you EE lovers- 1st time poster here on this thread. I'm looking to add a couple EEs to my flock next, but really want them to be mostly white/light feathered. Does anyone have pix of what color day-old chicks to look for to get white or mostly white adult? I would assume yellow, but wasn't sure if EEs were different? If I'm picking from a group of chicks, I just want to have the best odds I can. Thanks- Jenni

This is my White EE as a baby and now, her name is Pepper, because she is all white but looks like she was sprinkled with pepper, as a baby she had a black mohawk down her head and part way down her back, the only other color besides yellow.

as a new hen 22 weeks

I just noticed yesterday that my EE hens do not have any wattles at all. I know hens aren't supposed to have huge wattles anyway but I thought it was odd that they don't even have tiny wattles like my single comb birds do.

Ameraucanas don't have wattles. Not even the roos. So if they have that breed in their background that is why.

Quote: Thanks, he is very pretty. I have him and a split for sale on CL locally but have had no takers yet. I would hate to give him to my roo guy to be dinner

I will keep him a little while longer but his time is running out. I just can't have 4 pens for my lavenders. I have a black pen, and 3 Lav roos so someone has to go.
