Hello Easter Egger parents! Here are my EE Bantam babies. They came from MyPetChicken.com. Anyone have suggestions for what colors to call them? And if they are really girls?
This is what they looked like a few weeks ago (still sort of scruffy teenagers!):
Sybil, almost 6 weeks old:
Edith, almost 6 weeks old:
Mary, almost 6 weeks old:
And some more recent pictures:
Sybil, about 9.5 weeks:
Edith at almost 10 weeks:
Edith and Mary at almost 10 weeks (plus a bantam frizzle cochin butt):
This spring's chicks are 19 weeks today and one of the EE's (Agnes, aka the moose) celebrated by squatting for me! She's red in the comb and digging divots too. I can't wait to see what color she lays!

Haha for sure. Thing was it wasn't from the same person! Thought 4 originally from feed store.
Then 3 from a local lady.
Then the two that a swap lady called silver Americanas.
Now I got these from Mt. HEALTHY hatchery as sexed pullets. I know its not 100% but all of them already have way more feathers then the ones I've raised in the past! Plus two have that nice orange female color on their breasts coming in. The other has just brown.
So fingers crossed that I may get a pullet or two!!!
Goodness!
I have my fingers and my toes crossed for you! Hang in there and maybe this time around you'll get your girls....they are worth it!
Best of luck to you.... Chirp
It looks like I might lose my white EE ( one in my avatar ) She has a crop issue that is not responding to treatment... I am going to do crop surgery on wednesday if she isn't better, She's not one of my favorites, but still don't want an animal to suffer. Hope she gets better...

The heat has just been so hard on them lately. Seems like their water evaporates before they have a chance to make it through the day. Refilling, constantly. Good luck with your Gal...
