Whats up with these wattles.

I also have an EE that looks very similar to yours, but without the neck feathers. She is 13 weeks too.

She's a little puffed up here, I caught her in the middle of grooming!



BTW, I think your EE is beautiful - hen or roo!

Here is mine, not sure what breed she is. But most people that have seen her pics on here think she is a she for sure. About 16 weeks old.

And at around 10 weeks old.

And on of my EE's at 16 weeks as well.

Meathook, your sexlink is a girl with a larger comb. She has typical hen coloring for a sexlink, if those are white tailfeathers. The roosters will be almost all white with some red in the wing areas. The EE appears to be a pullet, too.

Danab, your orangey red hen is a New Hampshire Red. Ive had some of those. The EE is a pullet, too.

It's a hen, it is just growing a bit faster than the others. Probably on the top of the pecking order and gets more food first.

Thanks all for the input. Actually if I had to guess Big Red and Tawny (my daughters EE) seem to be the two at the bottom of the pecking order. The EE is the most skittish of all of our chickens.

Big Red has been bigger and had a bigger comb than the rest of the chicks from the first few weeks thus the name.

Big Red is on the right.
