Easter egger? Roo?

[KaylorFarms]

Thanks! It's Gladys that has me stumped! Here's a better pic of her but the lighting is making her look far more red than she is. Her comb is as tan as the hens is

glady is a rooster.

PH is a cockerel.

Gladys may be. It's still pretty early, and Orps can be slow to mature, so it may take a while to be positive. But, that's a good amount of comb for a little Orp pullet.

the Tints are all female, as you know. gotta love the sex links! That is, until you're hatching them yourself, and you can tell right off you have like a dozen cockerels and four pullets.

Easter eggers, arcaunas, and americaunas are the same and lay the same colored eggs. Most All easter eggers are mixed colors

Oh, this is so not true. It is a common misconception, and perpetuated by hatcheries that mis-identify their birds. But Araucana are a specific breed, with a standard. Ameraucana area also a specific breed, with a breed standard. Easter eggers are not standardized, they're the ones offered by most hatcheries and come in mixed colors. You also get different colored eggs from EE hens. You should not get get different colored eggs with the other two breeds, or they're not actually that breed. Like a Plymouth Rock would not lay a green egg, neither will an Ameraucana.

Here's a good reference

Thanks for the link. Can you tell me if my birds coloring is what would be called duck wing? I am not familiar with that. I have a little one that resembles the 6 wk olds pattern but in a silver color. I am starting my own little chicken farm and have bought all different breeds and planned on only one or two of each but now have 10 of these--they have been friendly and interesting birds. One is turning pure white but the rest are this pattern in different shades.
