Starlight Green Eggers Progress Pics and Breed Discussion

[21hens-incharge]

I have a mystery chicken that could be a SGE. She was in the ISA Brown bin at the store, 11(ish) weeks old now.

The thing that threw me off at first was that any source that lists comb type says SGE have pea combs, but looking through the forums here, a lot of them seem to have single combs like my Sybil.

She's likely some type of ISA Red, but maybe I'll be surprised with a green egg in the next couple months!

Here's my thread about her with pics of her growth over the weeks in the breed and gender forum

My SGE's also have single combs. Two of mine look very similar to yours. Pretty markings no matter her breed/mix.

So, I have 6 chicks with 2 being Starlight green eggers. They have been a joy and a pain in the butt at the same time. When they were younger, the yellow/brownish-red one was much more loveable. She also had VERY white wings and feathers coming in. We named her Angel. The other is more red and brown, named Henrietta, aka Henri for short.

She has NEVER liked being grabbed to be picked up. She prefers if you put your hand under her belly and gently push towards her legs and lift up l. She will stop onto your hand herself.

At 4 weeks 4 days, here is there progression.
