Two-fer: What breed is this pullet?? And is my silver spangled Hamburg Eve or Evan??

[masschickvet]

She looks like a partridge something, but with a black head/neck instead of an orange one. This is one from McMurray's Rainbow assortment. They are 8 or 9 weeks old now.

And the SSH is my "freebie" rare chick, and, I fear, a rooster

I believe that the pullet is an EE, and Evan is indeed a cockerel.

I agree!! x2

I did end up with quite a few EEs, and I thought this one might be, but she has no muff, beard, or anything like that. Her face is smoothly feathered.

Due to the fact that they carry a variety of genes, many EE have no muffs, beards, etc. As a matter of fact many of them don't even lay blue or green eggs.

Some EEs lose the beard gene. I have seen this coloring on quite a few EEs, she is defoinaltey an EE no doubt about it.


the first is an EE pullet and your second look to be even not eve.
