I have 10 EE that I bought this spring from the same litter/feed store. All of them look like your typical golen to golden-reddish colored necks that get some black bared effect on their bodies. ...all but one, I've never seen an EE like it:

Name: Cup-Cake ...Cup-Cake may be a rooster, lol. It's like a red-laced blue, but the body is blue with splash/speckled red.

@Tuttlemon pretty! Looks rather roosterish to me too. Red comb.

I've had two EEs who looked almost exactly like Cupcake. I currently have one right now who is the spitting image of her. She's got a HUGE comb, but i have no doubt that she's a girl.

Thanks guys! With an EE, is it possible to breed/cull allot till I get this look more persistently? Or are EE pretty much a crap-shoot on looks?

Her pattern is pretty common, and that gene for Blue is dominant, so paired with the right rooster, getting similar looking chicks is a pretty achievable goal.
