A couple of EE just a little over 1 month old . Both by a white Ameraucana roo , larger one out of a CX egg , the other out of a EE egg .
Any guesses on the white one's gender ?
Hello everyone!
Beautiful chickens! Want somewhere to show them off? One of our fellow members is holding an EE Contest that ends January 20th, 2011! A great chance to show everyone these great birds! Here is the link. Just click here and enter the EE Contest!

I had three EE mutt chicks this past summer, and two were much larger than the other one. Sure enough, they were boys and had to be rehomed. By the time they were 2 weeks old, they both had noticeably larger combs, too, and thicker legs. By 6 weeks or so, they had little bumps on their legs where the spurs would eventually grow. (The little girl, I am happy to report, is coming into laying age in the next month or so!)
Can you get pics and post them? Perhaps some of the eggspurts here (I know, groan groan) could help ya out!
Not sure if these pics help, but this is perhaps the largest EE. I noticed a couple have bumps where the spurs would be. Is this a male for sure, or do those bumps form on females also? Also, 1 EE has developed a bit of pink in the comb at 5.5 weeks. Are EE's color sexed in any way as chicks? I also have BR, BSL, and RIR. I guess the BR and BSL are for sure color sexed, how about the RIR? The feed store I got them from said they were all sexed....
