Confused???? New to this Chicken thing what do I have?

[viktoriacl]

I have 2EEs with fluffy faces and three without. All depends on what they are breeded with. One Green egg laying parent and one anything else!

I didnt see the red. I digress. I'd also like to see the black ones hackles better.

Hit the pic for a close up

Color is the proof, sorry!!!

The Blue is definitely roo, look at the red in the wing

That is probably a characteristic of the breed and color variety. I think the blue's a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. Look up a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte pullet and you'll see. Looks exactly like my BLRWs at that age.

Quote: Most of them do. Beard and muffs is a dominant gene. It's pretty hard to find a EE without muffs and beards.

I have 2 EE's without muffs and beards, and Hence the green colored legs, Wyandottes have Yellow legs

Those look like yellow legs to me!

Hackle feathers also known as the cape

My guess is EE. True Ameracaunas have to have the beard/muff to abide by breed standards, but not all EE's have them. I also think it depends what stock you get them from. I got 6 EE's from Mt. Healthy, only 1 had puffy cheeks. In another order from my pet chicken, puffy cheeks were about half and half.

I don't think it's a BLRW. Even though the feather color is very similar, the legs of these guys look more green rather than yellow (unless the lighting makes the color look off). Plus a lot of EE's have blue coloring in their feathers.

I don't know how you see things, but I'm seeing totally yellow legs.
