Looks like all pullets to me.

Newbie and couldn't sex a chicken to save my life at this point, but they sure are cute. It never ceases to amaze me how fast they grow!!!

EE's (Easter Eggers) can have any color/pattern plumage, any color legs, can come with bearded/muffed or with out beard/muff, they can have any type comb and lay any color eggs.

EE's are crossbred and have no standard.

Dont they all have the pullet coloring, the brown barring?

I have an EE that has no muffs or cheeks.

I think all pullets

When I was at TSC last week, they had a bin of mixed LF pullets that had quite a few EE's in it along w/ at least 5 other breeds, and also a bin of straight run "Ameracaunas." If he got them out of the pullet bin (I got a few myself from the pullet bin, plus a few from the sr bin) then he probably got all pullets. But if he got them out of the ameraucana bin, they were probably sr, and the worker didn't know what he was talking about.

The only one that may be a tad suspicious is #6 Soulja Gurl because the comb looks much wider, but could be just the pic angle. EEs can have single combs, certainly. And they can also lay brown eggs, which I'd suspect from that one, if it is an EE.

it doesnt look like any of the campine chicks i had. They have a very distinctive pattern as chicks.

I wouldn't trust any bin at TSC. I would think people pickup the chicks all the time and put them in different bins by mistake.

 

[verity]

well, dang!

if you got all pullets that are that pretty from TSC, I am SO jealous!

I can't even GO to TSC now because the two I got from the 'pullet' bin several years ago were the world's meanest roosters!

you have beautiful chicks and a wonderful husband --

I am not sure if this holds true, but "the chicken lady" near me always sexes her EEs(that is all she has-no pure bred chickens) by the eyeliner. Supposedly the females never have the black lines(eye liner) that extends from the eye all the way to the ear. not all EEs have the eye liner, but the females that do generally stop about half way to the ear or less. Not all males have the eye liner, but according to this lady, if they do, it always goes from eye to ear.

I have one that has the eye liner to the ear, and three or four that it stops just after the eye. You have a few that are also to the ear and such. I'll be stocking your out come (as well as mine to see if this holds true.)


5 of my EEs came from TSC and were straight run.
