White/gray easter egger chicks

[pollitohenhouse]

I have had easter eggers before, and currently have 5. Every ee chick i have ever seen has that chipmunk pattern on them. I hatched 3 ee chicks 2 days ago, two are almost pure white/silverish and one is mostly black/gray. Is this unusual? Mabey all 3 are male? What are your thoughts?

I hatched 3 ee chicks

Where did the eggs come from?
What breeds were mama and papa?

There are some lighter EE chicks too. I've always been jealous of people who get the light ones...I've always had the brown chipmunk ones too.

EEs can be anything, and look like anything. Yours are going to be gorgeous! The parents are of mixed lineage and the cross is bringing out different aspects of that lineage. Excited to see them grow!

Lack of the chipmunk stripe in Easter Eggers does not mean boy.

My white EE. Sorry, the teenage photo is when she was injured. No good closeup photo from recently.

I have light colored EE babies too. They came from TSC, so who knows what the parents were.

I have 2 light buff, like the chick in the front and a darker one. She's in the back at the feeder.

I've been dying to see what they grow up to be. They were light just like your babies.
