What colors will these Easter eggers be?

[Heatherwicz]

I have a few easter Egger chicks, and I’m curious as to what they will look like fully grown, is there anyway to know what they could end up like?

Something like this- it's not my photo- pulled it from Pinterest.

Your peeps have the startings of the classic 'quail' pattern. The second to last one that's dark brown may do something different- will be great to see how they turn out.

Carol and Baskin will look somewhat like this. At least I think. That is what my Amila looked like at that age. She's the one on the right.

All the chipmunk EE chicks I’ve raised have turned into various shades of this bird, but with EEs you just have to wait and see what you get.

They can surprise you. We have had a number of EE in our flock. They look one way at a year, then they molt and will actually change yet again - although still the same color pallet - so if light, they remain light. Our oldest ones did a hard molt at 18 months old, and their beards got much fluffier, and one of them got much fluffier muffs too!

Last year we had 2 dark EE chicks - they really looked like twins, but when they feathered out, they looked really different - both still dark, but very different. This year we asked the hatchery for chicks that had some grey in their fluff to all grey - whatever available. We got 3 little grey chicks, and very surprisingly they look very nearly identical now at 6 months old! They vary a little in shade of grey, but surprisingly similar.
