What will my EE grow up to look like?

Nothing loaded in the drop box

Really? That's weird! I'm pretty sure I made it shareable but I will double check or just download a couple and post those. Sorry!!

It might just take longer because there's so many pictures? Theres like 600 haha I'll try to narrow it down to maybe just a few from day old, few from a few weeks, etc.

Idk when ill have time though with classes but yeah. Sorry there keep being issues with my pictures.

And I think EEs can come in any comb type, any color or pattern, bearded or muffed, etc. So I think it is technically possible that EE can come in rose comb but mine are both pea combs. So idk. Most I've seen are too so I might be wrong and they might only come in pea comb but idk. I though I read that they can have any style comb so either pea comb is just the most popular one or I am wrong. What other breeds were possible in the assortment? That might help narrow it down as to what breeds could possibly have rose combs

I love EEs. They really are smart too. I’ve raised 9 different breeds now and the EEs have been the smartest. They have a ton of personality too. Plus their fluffy heads make them the cutest chicks

In the meantime, here is an excellent link on colors that you may find interesting or helpful!

A fun link! New to chickens and looked at this link with my child. We just got 3 EE chicks - two are the darker variety and one is light white/grey/blond. This link has 3 chicks similar (but not exact) to ours, so we've been speculating on the colors. Here they are on day 5:

If she stays light colored, her name will be "Galadriel" from LOTR. Her wing feathers indicate she might have some dark coloring though.

Looks a bit reddish, so child wants to name this one "Tauriel" from the Hobbit (a made up female elf that the movie producers added in to the story, I don't think Tauriel exists in Tolkien's Middle Earth).

Those muffs and beards! All of them remind child of Dwarves from LOTR or The Hobbit, so I think the next Dwarf names under consideration are :Bifor, Bofur, and Bombur, Kili, and Fili.

Aww how awesome! I'm glad you and your child found the link interesting and/or fun! And your chicks are adorable! I love the LOTR/Hobbit names! I haven't seen all the movies but did like the few that I saw

I'd like to watch all of them and Star Wars, maybe over the summer haha
