Is the color of their legs any indication of egg color?
This is interesting! I never knew males had the 3 rows of peas! I have an ee roo,he has green legs. I'll be hatching out ee crosses and will be keeping an eye on combs!No, pea combs are a better indicator that you will get colored eggs. EEs with pea combs usually carry the blue egg gene and lay greenish eggs. Those with single combs are much more likely to lay some shade of brown eggs. I can't tell by looking whether the bird in the top pic has a single comb or a pea comb. Where pea combs are concerned (as in the bottom bird), male EEs typically have a triple row of peas in the combs whereas females usually have a single row of peas. Can you get some close ups of the combs of both birds?
I'm thinking cockerels on both birds.Here a couple pics of the combs. Do you think one is a hen and the other a cockerel?
