The last three pictures are wonderful roosters ! I love the Basque boy's colors and patterns. And Fred is outstanding and very unique. I've never seen anything like him. On the EE thread I tried to post a note on him but the Internet burped me off for a bit. I would call him "Duckwing with a variety of lacing patterns." But I may be wrong and I bet you could call his many colored patterns anything that you want.
Say what you mean, mean what you say, but do not say it meanly.
Thank you, and you're probably right. The breeder I got him from said he preferred the "blue" colored birds and was working toward that. At the time I thought he meant the EGGS but after they all feathered in and I got a little more versed in chicken breeds and colors I figured out what he meant. :) One of his sisters also has a white earlobe. They also have the slate legs which I never noticed until I got two hatchery EE's.
Liz, wife, mom to 4 boys and "food lady" to a mix of mostly Ameraucanas & EE's with a few oddball breeds for fun. :)
