I just love all of the cool colors you get with EE's. Their diversity is so much fun.

This is my newest chick, chick #5 until they get names

. She is mostly white but you can see a stripe on her head and she has grey shoulders. I was told she was either an EE or an Amerileg, more likely the Amerileg. What's the difference?? Either way I LOVE her. She is really sweet and pretty docile and I can't wait to see what the grey looks like when she feathers out.

I would guess that an Amerileg is a cross between an Ameraucana and a leghorn - which makes sense looking at your chick - and that cross = EE!!!! yay for you!!!!

p.s. some of mine keep their "number" names forever . . . I love my little Number Three, and he knows his name!

My friend has a few Ameraucana/leghorn hens and they lay the most beautiful mint green eggs. I have tried many a time to talk her out of one of those chickens. That would be an awesome cross if it's what you have. Funny to hear it called an Amerileg..... makes sense.

I have 2 from MPC, hatched 3/15. Here are the girls at 10 weeks.

Here's Baby

And Belle

I love my little puffy-cheeked ladies!

They are sweethearts!

lol my Little Baby (first post in thread) looks just like your Baby. I'm not very original with names!

 

[gumamelachick]

So that's what your Baby looked like at 10 weeks? I hope my Baby turns out to be as pretty as yours!
Oh and we call her Baby... but her real name is Crybaby. She fusses and squaks if you try to come near to pick her up. I hope she gets to be more cuddly. I am working on being her best friend by bribing her with mealworms...
