They are absolutely beautiful!! Those combs are really growing. You may have a white roo indeed. I agree with you on the she that is gray and brown. Looks like an EE pullet to me.

You mentioned Blondie is possibly a Snowball EE - are the roos in demand, too? We can't keep 2 boys with only 3 girls & Sue's too pretty to give up unless he starts getting aggressive.

Coo was sold as an EE, so that's perfect. I can't wait to see her final coloring, and her eggs!

Considering that obtaining a pure white EE is hard to do, I would imagine that he would definitely go very quickly to someone who knew about them. Especially beings it is a roo, he can pass his genetics to any hen he is put with. I know white is a recessive gene, but he is a Male which presents an extra dominant chromosome. I would take him for sure. I love EEs!!

One note about Coo, this is just a guess, but I'm thinking a mix of Welsummer (head and neck) with a blue red laced breed mix thrown in. Regardless she is beautiful. You have a wonderful mix flock there of colors.

She's always looked similar to Cleo (our Welsummer) so that makes sense. I just couldn't figure out the brown/gray coloring. I looked up "blue red laced" and they're so pretty! I originally wanted a Wyandotte, but the local breeder doesn't have them. So I guess Coo is my almost-Wyandotte. LOL

Well there ya go then! Lol almost is better than not at all.
