3 birds - 4 questions....

I see a silver duckwing Old English Game Bantam pullet, a silver Phoenix pullet, and what looks like maybe a hatchery quality non-feather legged black copper Marans. Doesn't look like an EE to me.

Noted!!! I will update as he fills out. He's really got alot of blue and green on his back which I haven't seen on the EE's but I am not that experienced with them.

He has a beard so he has to be crossed with something to give him that. The only breeds with beards have a crest or feathered feet except for the EE or Ameracauna. Thats why I am pretty sure he is an EE, not because I dont have any idea.

I actually hadn't noticed a beard at all in person - but yeah, he totally does. Here is a closer up photo and I will admit that in the face he does look like an EE, BUT
again those blues and greens on his back and tail.... Is that an EE roo thing?

That's what I thought too - but the folks in the Maran thread seemed a bit insulted when I suggested thats what it was, LOL. Exactly what the coloring of feathers looks like to me though. that was my first guess...

I'm not saying he looks like a quality purebred BCM, but that's what he looks like to me, too! And I have some nice quality purebred FBCMs! LOL. I totally didn't notice the beard, though. Maybe he is an EE crossed with BCM? That would explain the coloring, etc.
