Bought at auction can someone tell me what he is?

I bought this beautiful roo at an auction but i have no idea what breed he is.




I was thinking maybe a faverolles but his neck looks different. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

An EE or a faverolle cross? How many toes does he have?

 

[TheSpeckledRoo]

four then the spur.. what would happen if he breeds with a brown egg layer? will the offspring lay weird eggs? haha

 

[sourland]

If he is indeed an EE any pullets sired by him MIGHT produce olive colored eggs. I believe that a faverolle cross would have 5 toes.

In theory a Faverolles F1 should have 5 toes, white legs and feathered feet and a hybrid or straight comb (they have straight).

This fella does look like an EE and he sure is handsome!

looks just like the EE my parents have and if he is and is breed to a brown egg layer the chicks should lay green eggs but thats only if he does indeed carry the blue egg laying gene

Is it very likely he is a pure EE? or is it impossible to tell?

He's an easter egger, "pure" isn't really a term that applies. Easter egger refers to a bird that's been bred to produce green or blue eggs. I see nothing to indicate a mixed heritage, he looks classic easter egger. Bred to brown egg laying hens, chances are the offspring pullets will lay a khaki or muddy green egg.

I agree He's an EE!
