    Easter Egger Chicks (or not?)

    Got it. Thought I'd ask because they look like sussex yet not like sussex at the same time! Interesting. Not showing any signs of being male at all yet, but I will report back to you if she turns out not to be a she.

    Easter Egger Chicks (or not?)

    That's what I was leaning most towards. Is it usual that they have that much white and/or black on the chest? I personally doubt they're male. Their behavior is very henlike and I don't see any sickles, saddle, or hackle feathers. My Sicilian Buttercup (one of the four "females" that I...

    The closest thing they seem to resemble is Speckled Sussex, but that's a lot of white on the chest!

    *Another Update* Going on seven weeks now, still no idea what these guys are... Still willing to wait until an egg is laid, but any ideas?

    Alright then. Yay, more waiting! Definetly! Their coloring is really cool and unique. I just want to know what their darn breed is!

    Easter Egger Chicks (or not?)

    ~Update~ My chicks aren't looking like EEs OR Speckled Sussex. I've never seen this coloring before, does anybody have any ideas about what they are? (The last feathers on both of their wings are pure white.)

    I'll lower the temperature a bit and see how they like it. Sometimes I let them out into the yard to explore for about 10-20 minutes and sometimes they find a tasty bug or two during playtime. I'll offer them grit after their outings. Thank you for all of this info! I'm really grateful for this...

    Easter Egger Chicks (or not?)

    Thank you! No, I don't give them anything but starter and water (although they do find their wood shavings appetizing sometimes!) I'll cut back on giving it to them, I hope I didn't harm them by giving them grit if they didn't need it...

    Easter Egger Chicks (or not?)

    Also, wanted to ask... One of them drinks a lot more water than the other three chicks I have (not excessively, but noticeably) and likes to sleep farther away from my heat plate. She's just as healthy and active as the others, but wanted to ask why she was doing this. I'm giving them a few...

    Is there a defining difference between what the two breeds look like as chicks?

    Is that normal for Speckled Sussex?

    Really? They both have different patterns on their heads.

    Easter Egger Chicks (or not?)

    I was considering adding some new additions to the flock, and my local feed store happened to have chicks, so I got some yesterday! A Buff Orpington, a Sicilian Buttercup, and two chicks that appear to be Easter Eggers from an assorted breeds bin. Or are they? Since Easter Egger chicks and...
