    6 week old Easter egger

    Hello! I have a 6 week old Easter egger it’s a cross between a welsummer and a crested red and splash Easter egger rooster. I’m curious if people think it’s a pullet or rooster. It has red leakage which usually says rooster but I don’t know how accurate that is with barnyard mixes. Thanks

    Lavender Orpington x EE

    I have a lavender Orpington rooster I might cross with some EEs. The hens are mostly barred black and white (father was barred rock, moms were EEs). Some have beards and ear muffs as well. Can anyone guess what they would look like? Will any show the lavender color if I hatched some?
