Heres Peeps!! My rooster

SO handsome! My young rooster is around 13 weeks and looks like he will have about the same coloring. Any idea what his parents were? I've been trying to decipher my rooster's heritage.

edit: Also my roo is 13 weeks old and still no crow! I'm hoping he stays as wonderfully quiet as he has been so far, and I hope his voice is low and mellow when he does. I have my fingers crossed!

Will my 10 week old roo get red on his shoulders, I know for sure his saddles are coming in and they are cream colored.

His name is Hawk.

Black/White roosters don't always get the red shoulders. If there is, its pretty minimal (at least with my B/W boy).

Is it my imagination or is it possible for EE to "Honk" instead of cackle. I have my first ever EE who are now at 24 weeks old. They all have their own personalities and habits. But the funniest thing I have noticed is they do not cackle, or make normal chicken noises. I have a red laced hen, I named Sarah who honks...literally.. and roo named Milo who has a gold head lacing, a black body, red and green wings, and gold saddle feather, and white under belly. I really don't know what color to call him. But the two of them "honk" I haven't heard the remaining 4 make any noises, but these two are hilarious. Milo follows me around like a puppy and Sarah is right behind him. They are like two peas in a pod. Where one is, the other is not far behind. As far the remaining 4 they are right behind Milo and Sarah....is this common for everyone else's EE, mine are Ameraucana and Auracana crosses. Sorry no pics, I just thought about their behavior while going through BYC...Milo I think has the most personality, if I am sitting outside, he will run up to me, and stair at me eye to eye almost like he would another roster, he then runs off. Shortly there after here comes Sarah, she does the same thing, only she stands their staring eye to eye with me, twisting her head from side to side as if she is trying to figure something out. Another behavior that has me puzzled. The off she goes behind Milo in search of bugs and grub......Any ideas on this behavior, only my EE do this, none of the others do and I have Wyandottes, Marans, Orpingtons, Ameraucana, Auracans, and Cochins...Just curious...theses are turning out to be my favorite of them all......

My EE has a cackle/laugh noise she makes and also does the "look you in the eye" behaviors. She recognizes herself in videos that I take if I play them back. She is the smartest of my mixed flock and really does appear to be thinking about things. She also likes to sit on my shoulder to get a better look at the sky, always comes over get pet - especially now she is laying. She loves the attention! I think they are pretty darn smart and soooo pretty. I love the pix of all the gorgeous guys and wish I could have a roo!

My husband calls our EE "chicken button" because she makes an amazing honk sound any time you touch her back. It's a good party trick!
