I'm a brand new chicken mom, but got 4 EEs from Cackle back in September. Ended up with 2 pullets, 2 cockerels. The pullets are really friendly and curious. All have muffs, and I love the various colors!

I ordered from Mt Healthy Hatchery which is logistically the closest hatchery to where I am. That would be my suggestion. With all of the shipping delays that are going on, I would choose a hatchery close to where you live. These are some pics of my girls and the egg colors I am getting. I have 6 EE’s in my flock.

I have a couple from crackle that look really close to your bottom left two!

Here you can see all four along with two Turkens

These are the shades I’m getting so far. One of them hasn’t started laying yet. I think it’s the lighter brown one that isn’t.

The only negative thing I have to say is that one has a deformed beak. They do mention on their website that their EEs have a higher chance of having crossbeak then other chicken breeds. Not sure if that’s something that is due to their breeding stock or if that’s true of all EEs
