Ended Contest #7 Most Striking Domestic MALE Fowl Contest 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Katrinab13]

Sorry but he isn't a easter egger just to let you know,he looks like a buckeye mix.....but beautiful rooster!!!

Thank you.
He might have Buckeye mixed in, as Easter Eggers are mixed breed. I question why you are so certain he is not an Easter Egger though? He was bought from a reputable Hatchery as an Easter Egger. He also has a pea comb, common for blue laying breeds (though, yes, Buckeyes have them too). He has green legs, common of slate leg/yellow leg mixes. As a side-note, not as well depicted in the photo his underside is mostly a medium grey/blue, and his top feathers are a coppery orange accent to the deep reds.

It is my understanding that birds like this are a rare 1/2 male 1/2 female. Does anyone know if that's true or just a fable. Curious?[/QUOTE]
WOW! He is so beautiful!

I said it because I didn't see a pea comb,muffs around face,the right looking tail feathers,and body style, but it might be you never know with hatcheries
