3 week old chick. Has a little crest and a big beard, but, you can't tell at this age.

Here's its half-brothers/sisters. They're the normal feathered type, but still the same.

This is my oldest cockerel of them - Half-brother to the frizzles, full brother to the smooth ones. He's one of the many slight variations they'll grow to look like. The body is all the same, but some may be more or less black, more less spangled vs laced.

All of the above if female will lay sky blue eggs.



Me and my crested Easter Eggers. . . . Here's another older pullet, this one's mostly a beautiful buff orange with black patterning and the cutest little black cap/crest. She's 1/2 Araucana, 1/4 Ameraucana, 1/4 Polish. She's tailed because Araucana crosses have a 50/50 chance of tailed or rumpless. The beard comes from both Polish and Ameraucana. She'll lay light blue eggs.

Another Easter Egger, very likely pullet. This one isn't crested, and will grow to look a lot like your average brown EE hen, but with slate blue legs. She's 3/4 Ameraucana, 1/4 Polish. Didn't get the crest, but kept the full-sized beard. She'll lay vibrant rich blue eggs.

These here are some Blue Wheaten Marans x Wheaten Ameraucanas. They'll lay slightly dark olive green eggs.

She has short round saddle feathers and compared to pics of my other EE's that age she looks just like them except for coloring

A cockerel won't have saddle feathers until much later, after it is fully feathered.



pinkwindsong - How big are his spurs?

He looks like a teenager to me. His saddle feathers actually aren't fully developed, his hackle is certainly not developed (needs to be very full and flowing right into his back, not curling to the side like hair) and his sickles aren't even there yet. I'd say he's just a young boy who hasn't learned his manhood yet.

Well crapola! Im keeping my fingers crossed though, Ill update pics in 1 month if nobody crows before
 
My two EE girls, at least I hope they are girls. They turned five weeks today. I love their coloring and how much it changes from week to week.

Well, its' been a long long time since I've posted, been a crazy summer and fall etc.

Here is my newest roo, I hatched him this May in my incubator, I decided to keep this one, as I've wanted a blue guy, he is gorgeous, sadly, he's really eager to crow nonstop...hopefully, he doesn't carry on like the last one did...... but, he's handsome. I can't wait to see what he throws me next spring.

I got rid of most of my youngsters I hatched and kept just a few, I had to keep this girl, as she's a throwback to one of my favorite hens that died last spring, ( that was a SLW)
So this girl I am very happy with, she's EE, but, with my favorite hens colors, (the SLW)

Next up is this girl, my daughter wanted to keep her as she loves the 'caramal' colored chicks. THis one was helped out of the shell by me, as she was a sticky chick, thus, she has one crooked toe. But, she's super neat. She has a mane for neck feathers, i've never quite seen neck feathers like hers, they are super long, and super soft looking, they don't look feathery as they should.

Wow, I gotta say those EE's are just beautiful!

Right now, my best layers are my EEs. They even outlay my Red Star! One perfect green egg from each, every day.

She's petite but so sweet.

She's my flock leader, and the snuggliest!

Anyway, my girls turned 6 months old a few days ago, so I have a bunch of EE pictures to share now. (But I'll try and post only the best.

Maggie (and Betty in the background--she sits still long enough to be a distraction in the back of her sisters' pictures)

Mako just has an amazing beard.

I love Wynne's eye color, and her black beak against her white feathers.


And I finally got some recent pictures of the boys!

Thankyou, I think I lucked out with her. Would love to get more like her, but, not sure if that will happen again​
