Whiskey here was my favorite as a chick, then she went through a bit of an aloof 'I'm too cool for you' period. Now she is back to her sweet treat-begging ways

All 3 of my 2015 EEs were more skittish than the 2 White Rocks and 2 "nonstandard" Black Australorps. They are still skittish if I just walk through and will be doing so close to them ... until I talk to them by name. Then they see to figure out there is nothing to run from and stop ... until the next time. So I talk to them by name, just a "Hi Eos", "Hello Penelope", "How are you Athena" as I approach and they are fine. Of course if I have, or MIGHT have, food, they forget they want to be worried. Certainly unconcerned when they bolt out of the barn with the rest of the girls when I open it up in the morning.

My EEs seemto be pretty calm. They do love to fly and play. Pumpkin likes to "fight". She is funny. Tweety likes to ride around on my finger, Cocoa likes to sit onmy shoulder and Chippy is very chipper

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I LOVE my Easter Eggers! I got six pullets but one ended up being a roo. That's okay though because he is gorgeous and probably my favorite chicken. Very curious and friendly. And two of my girls started laying a littler over a week ago. Beautiful eggs!

When they were just wee littles! There are two buff orpingtons and three welsummers in there also.

Mr. Roo

Some EE's with the addition of a few buffs and wellies

The red one in this picture is my husband's absolute favorite. She has some blue also and is stunning.

And the lovely eggs! The darker one is a Wellie and the lighter is from by buff

Question about egg color:

I got an egg today from an unknown chicken. I have Barred rocks that are just on the verge of laying at 16 weeks and a 26 week old EE that hasn't layed yet that I know of. The egg I got was just slightly larger than a quail egg and brown with dark brown speckles. Will an EE lay a speckled egg?

This is the potential girl.

Possibly. Since EEs aren't a specific breed and there is no way to know what genetics it has. They generally lay bluish to green but could lay any shade of brown as well if they didn't get the blue egg gene.

It's possible, also more likely since she is a "clean face" EE.
