Let's guess what colors my EEs will be!

[Lady Grey]

So a couple of weeks ago I purchased two EE pullets, among others. I did some research, and found out that they are basically a surprise color-wise. So let's guess what they'll look like when they grow up! I haven't named them yet; I prefer to name my birds based on looks and personalities. Though I'm considering Martina.

Also, anyone have a guess as to comb type?

I agree. tho the chick has one copy of the e+ allele as evidenced by the stripe up the back of the neck. It is not well defined so only on copy, not two. So probably eb ( brown allele ) and e+ (wildtype) allele. The chick can only have 2 alleles. The allele is the "canvas" upon which all the other colors and modifiers and such are "painted".
Best,
