Breed guess game!

Here are easier ones for people who can’t guess Roocifer and the other rooster; the other rooster I’m currently researching breeds to figure out

Hints on Roocifer; he is part Wyandotte, his leg feathers are from a larger breed- they’re all cold hardy good laying breeds

Silver/Gold Split Birchen. So, it's a form of Extended Black, but only extends the black to the wing bars. Birchen is also known as Crowwing.

The only breeds that I know of that have the Birchen color, are Marans and Cochins. Is it either of those?

 

[MysteryChicken]

No his other breeds are all pure, not mixes

EEs are Pre - Ameraucanas(Before the standardization). Ameraucana are pretty much Easter Eggers with a standard. Some will argue about this though.

I’ve always heard EE is just a way to say Amerucana mix but it seems there are a lot of terms with a lot of meanings- I’m just uneducated in them

Nope.

Cochin

Nope! Normal tail feathers. I have his leg feather breed in my flock and have had that breed of rooster before

That does make sense. I thought that EEs are just Ameraucanas x any other breed. Or at least that what some hatcheries sell their EEs as.
