white EEs?

[ONSTAD1]

We got a shipment of EEs and two of them are white. Is this typical? how do these hens feather out in the end? Pure white like a leghorn or mottled with another color?

Can anyone direct me to pics?

Post #1111 has a shot of my 3 white EEs. There are 2 girls and 1 boy according to the experts. Two are completely white at this point, although one should be changing out to some male plumage soon. One has two black laced feathers coming in at her neck. Just two, no more. Their mother was all white but had a full ring of black laced feathers around her neck. Their father was a white EE roo meaning he was white with cream colored saddles, hackles and shoulder patches.

I hope this helps.

I've got a pure white EE hen. I've also had some who had honey colored highlights and others with cream colored highlights.

Do white hens look dirty if raised on primarily dirt?

No. Mine are surprisingly white and beautiful. I expected mine to look like a bunch of little pig pens because my run was flooded when they were pretty young, but somehow they managed to stay white despite running through the mud for a couple weeks.

I have two white EEs As chicks one had a stripe down the back and both had dots on their heads. They are pure white with green legs now. Beautiful birds.

That one looks more like it will be lavender - mine were yellow as chicks with tan spots.

She is beautiful by the way! I have a silkie named Pearl

My girls are Eedie & Lynette.

Here's my all white EE... I don't know what she looked like as a chick b/c she was given to me by a friend who had too many this year. She has one hint of color on one tail feather (just the shaft at this point), you can kind of see it in the pic, although it looks a bit like a shadow. I think she's about 7 weeks old? Not sure if her coloring can/will change anymore as she fills out more or even after the first moult. I hadn't seen an all white one until this one...
