Not sure about the first one, but the last two have single combs and none of them have beards or muffs, so they are probably not EEs. Can you give any more info... leg color? where you got them? possible parentage? Age makes a difference when trying to sex them, but to me they are all girls until they turn into roosters!
I am no expert was going to say #1 roo.Anyone??
I am confused. Our EE does not appear to have a beard or a muff, but we know he hatched out of a blue egg!Not sure about the first one, but the last two have single combs and none of them have beards or muffs, so they are probably not EEs.

I think you're right about EEs laying any color, really. I suppose it depends on what and how often they are crossed away from the blue/green egg gene. From my research, it's the comb and the ears that are related to the blue/green gene rather than legs and beard/muffs, but even with the comb and ears, you can still be completely surprised with what you get! I think that anything can happen with an EE, really. It's one of the things I enjoy most about them is that they are a constant surprise!![]()
Hey nickee it is really hard to tell. Using genetics to determine egg color is tough but you do have a beautiful bird. A few pages back they talked about how some try to use the color of the legs and the the beard to guess what the egg color is. I have a white EE and a dark headed brown body and both lay a light blue green egg.
