what do your Easter Eggers look like from Ideal?

[zenstarling]

Hi there, I have two 2 week EEs from Ideal and though they’re both brown, their colors and patterns (as of now) are very different from each other. the stock photo on Ideal’s website for the EE is a white and gray bird. out of fun curiosity I’m wondering what your adult EEs look like from Ideal!

Easter Eggers are mixed breeds. They have Ameraucana blood somewhere down the line and are mixed with any other chicken breed. They typical Easter Egger has a beard/muff, pea comb, and same body type. But because they are mixes EEs can be muffless, have single combs, or have crests. Colors, patterns, and eggs all depend on what the bird was crossed with at some point in time. I doubt someone could show you an exact picture of what your chicks will look like when they are older. They could get close but each one is very unique

I have a batch of 20 Ideal EEs. They mostly started out average boring brown but have matured into the most varied group I have raised. Impossible to get them to stand still for a picture. I think only 3 are normal boring brown.

thank you and oh yes I’m aware of that — my question is not to predict what mine will look like as I know it’s impossible, just thought it’d be fun to see all the variety of EEs that have come out of the same hatchery.
