I agree that this is a little EE roo by that stance. It could still surprise you, but hens generally keep low to the ground, and are skittish as chicks, not overly friendly (which means favorites are almost always roos
)
EEs are not a breed, and more of an informal category created by hatcheries a few decades back in an effort to sell eggs for twice the price because they were green or blue ("Green eggs are twice as healthy for you! We guarentee it!"). Nowadays, the 'ideal' EE has slate/willow legs, muffs, lay green to blue eggs, and have pea combs.
However, since they are not a breed, and not regulated by anyone, you can subsitute, subtract, rearrange, and generally violate the above characteristics to your heart's content, and still technically have an EE, as long as you have one or two of the features. And yes this means you can have an EE that lays a brown egg too.
Your little guy is most likely going to be pure white, with perhaps some leakage of red or buff on the head and shoulders.
So is EE a specific breed or just a general term for chickens that lay colored eggs (if not a rooster)? How do I know what this little one is going to look like when it grows up? I don't think my hubby wants to keep any roosters around because of the noise, for our own sake, we live in the country so the neighbors wouldn't be too bothered. Like
i said before, this one is sure a sweetie and likes to be held. He even lets the kids hold him.
I can't wait to see what it will look like when it is grown up.
THANKS for all the help!!! I'll try and remember to post photos over the next several weeks to see what he/she is going to look like.
I wouldn't be shocked if it were a boy. Almost all of their mystery chicks are.
