Easter Egger club!

it very well may be an EE. What your chicken has is referred to as a "modified pea comb" meaning it's between a pea comb and some other comb (most likely single). Since EEs are mutts, they are bred using a blue egg layer with another breed. Most are bred with single comb birds which is where you get a comb like that.

Agreed. But could also be a modified rose comb. Considering those little waddles and that its a male he could be anything! What color feet??

Easter egger rooster. I'm pretty certain. Here's an EE male. Very similar.

I don't have an Easter Egger, though I do have a MaransXAmeraucana, but I love the breed and their eggs. We used to have one, he had to go to a new home because he was LOUD (roosters are allowed here but if anybody complains about them they have to go) but beautiful and friendly, albeit a little bit aggressive at times.

That's an EE. An EE is any bird that has a blue/green egg laying gene.

Wouldn't it be a Oliver Egger, with the dark egg gene and blue gene combined? My EE x Copper marans were labeled OE when I got them. The eggs are much darker then my EE and less blue, more a drab green olive.

Yes, but most people call all of them Easter eggers

Olive eggers are a new spin off of an EE. They are all still the same mutt. Cute and loveable, but mutts.
