The first three pictures are a rooster, think he’s at least a year old.
Third pic is chick is a speckled chick *possibly* by the rooster in the second set of pictures. He showed up in a friends yard one day with a pretty red sex link hen, have no idea what he may be but he’s pretty neat, apparently hardy, they were running around the neighborhood a few months.

Crossbreds. Nailing down the exact mix is nearly impossible. First rooster has some "classic" Easter Egger qualities but no way to know for sure that he is.
 
Where did you get the first rooster? The second one looks like a la fleche mix. Definitely post update pictures of that chick if you can.


Update: here are some newer chicks from the dark rooster, thinking your La Flèche hunch may be dead on right. Wow what a cool breed too, never would have known about them if you hadn’t mentioned them! How neat

Cool comb on that chick. I would be interested in seeing how that black and white chick turned out.

So, where did you get that first rooster?
 
Don’t remember where we got him, remember the morning SO brought him home, I didn’t know he’d gotten him yet till I realized there was box in the coop that was crowing. I think he was pretty young because he’s grown a lot I think since then or gotten much fatter lol. He’s a neat little guy, he sometimes clucks at his hens till I’m pretty sure they’re sick of him and he clucks like a hen laying an egg sometimes when they’re laying. He’s not too hard on them like other roosters we’ve had, that’s nice. Sound like an EE?

He could possibly be a wheaten ameraucana, but since you don’t know his background I would call him an EE. He’s a handsome roo either way.

He’s for sale (am I allowed to say that on here or is that not allowed), I have finally decided I have too many chickens and i just want Orps from now on, they’re my “first love”.
