In the Brooder
Don't know if this is the right place to put this but a few years ago we decided to breed our Easter Egger rooster to our hens for replacement layers. We hatched 10 eggs and only 2 were girls. Now we only have 2 left actually thanks to relentless coyotes. One male and one female (as well as our beginning stock) but I still have photos of them and some of them I grew very attached to and would like to know what color they were at least.
The father(Travis): I'm not even sure what his color is called
Moms:
The first one is Rhode Island Red Ginger, The second is Black Jersey Giant Bertha, the third is EE Jenny (don't know what her color is), the fourth is Partridge EE Pip, and the fifth is Silver EE(? her eggs are pale brown/pink with white speckles) Cinders. Cinders has curled toes so we didn't want to breed her but her eggs ended up hatching better than the others.
The offspring in question:
Axle: Son of Cinders, He was really mean and we ended up giving him to someone to eat him because he was just horrible to walk outside around.
Copper: Son of Pip or maybe Ginger. Idk if this red is the male expression of partridge? His chest is blue like his dads though. Only one we still have. Is aggressive and probably will be rehomed soon.
Crooked Butt: Wry tail son of Cinders, only one with yellow legs also. He never seemed as boyish as the others but the saddle feathers show that he is male. I believe he's the same color as Axle.
Crinkle: Son of Cinders named Crinkle because he inherited her curled toe defect only on one foot. We actually just lost him last month to coyotes. He was a very good boy and I think this color is the male expression of silver.
BB: Son of Bertha. I think he was the best cross out of them. He was huge and very curious but never aggressive and I miss him so much. He was in charge of the other roosters and now that he is gone Copper has become mean.
The others I don't have pictures of. Our only hen that we have from this event is solid black so I don't need to worry about her color. Sorry about the long post with a ton of thumbnails. If you need more photos let me know!
