Easter Egger crosses and sex-linking

[Owllea]

All the chicks in your previous post except the orange one with yellow legs have the blue gene, which causes that gray coloration.

Here are some updates pictures.

Two pullets from the hatch with EE, the white one on the right and the gray head with red neck and mixed body on the left. Both so cute with muffs!

They are about twelve weeks old now. Unfortunately the pretty boy at the top is a jerk to his fellow chicks, so not planning a future with him. And we went on vacation for about 10 days so they are skittish at the moment, hence the pictures from a distance.

Anyway, thanks for the interest and replies. Always fun to learn.

I LOVE- LOVE- LOVE your Roo in the second pic. He has gotten even prettier as he has matured. I hope he is a nice boy (I know, EE/americaunas tend to be a bit flighty...but hope he is good to the girls]

From a previous reply, it sounds like him, crossed with your whitish girl, could produce some very pretty colored offspring. Might still be darker than the more lavender-ish color you want, but I think he is gorgeous as is

Looks you have a blue laced silver/gold (first cockerel), three blues with varying amounts of red leakage, and a splash with red leakage (lighter pullet). They’re beautiful!

Recently hatched 19 eggs. Easter egger rooster with Speckled Sussex, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Buff Orpington, Barred Rock and Light Brown Leghorn hens. From what I understand the barred rock is sex-linked? White dot on head means Rooster, right? Are any of these other breeds sexlinked?

Also, does anyone have good resources for rehoming roosters?

@Lacy Duckwing, this kind person needs rehoming help. .

Ok!

This male looks just like a cross I have, stunning! . He's all black-ish blue with beautiful red hackles!

I always use Craigslist to re-home my extra roosters. If you need any advice on how to post on Craigslist, here's an article that I wrote that can help: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/how-to-post-on-craigslist.76257/
