any ideas what kind of Roo this is?

[nicoleb875]

this is Sassy... he lives upto his name... when my health isn't giving me a fit and I can visit (and bribe with treats!) hes a very nice roo.... when I can't well... hes a giant JERK *ahem* attitude aside... I got him out of a tank of what I was TOLD by Stienhauser's feed store was all Easter Egger girls.... I think they missed the mark there... so my question is... is he an Easter Egger male like my hen is supposed to be? or is he something else? he's a big boy... nearly as big as my 2 -4 month old buff geese...which are nearly as big as my 6 year old tolouse goose... in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter but im about to put some of Ginger & Sassy's eggs in the incubator for a friend at church who doesn't wanna pay $6 a chick because they raise chickens to sell the eggs & they've had predator issues recently (suspected sneaky bobcat issues).Sassy is mostly white but has some dark brown/black speckles and theres a few buff colored feathers in there too.... in the chick picture hes the one in the front... I will try to get a better non-mesh picture but hes in extra sassy mode right now (he torpedo attacked my arm a few days ago getting a egg out of the nesting box)so I prefer to keep something between us... thanks in advance to any guesses/opinions!

He looks like a male red sex link. What colour eggs does Ginger lay? That could help determine the breed of both

X2. If the hen is the same breed then I think a red sex link.

I wouldn't guess Red Sex Links would have white earlobes, but they are a hybrid, so I guess they could look like anything. Maybe he (and she) are Starlight Green Eggers.

Wait! I didn't even think of that! From some photos from Google I think that could be it too.

If they are starlight green eggers, then the store was right by calling them Easter eggers.

Yeah, since they are essentially EEs, I could see how a hatchery would put those in there if that's what you ordered.

shes supposed to be a easter egger as far as I know those are the eggs awaiting incubation and these are the "oopsie she went broody and I missed eggs" babies which im pretty sure I have 3 hens and 2 roos in that bunch based on the experience with their parents... they are about a month old. I didn't order them I got em from a feed store and the lady said that tank was easter eggers then again she also said they were all girls too.... and we see how well that worked out..

Hmm, those look like olive ish eggs? They don't look brown to me.

Maybe they are starlight green eggers? Cute chicks!

I have no clue what breed your roo is, but I find it so adorable how he was in the nesting box with your hen.

Yeah, those eggs point to EE/OE. Starlight Green Egger it is!

I have had one, but it’s definitely not a common trait
