Easter Egger or something else

[romien]

I purchased some Easter egger eggs from a lady back in January and the hatched February 3rd. 2 I am pretty sure are hens, but this black one I think is a roo but I am not sure he is an Easter egged because I can't find a picture of one that is all black. He might be half. Can anyone here help me out?

Two solid black Easter Egger pullets that I've bred.



And their mother, who is half Barred Rock.


Your boy has a cushion comb (pea comb gene combined with rose comb gene) so may have some Wyandotte in his ancestry.

That is possible. I think they came from the same hen as the lady I got them from only had one hen laying, but that doesn't mean another hen snuck an egg in that nest. the eggs were not all the same shade either. 2 were olive and one was like a blue color. Which makes sense if the hens hatched from the darker eggs. I can't remember.
