Help identifying the breed of my rooster

If i understand what i just read...you will get olive green eggs.... ??? Sounds fun, you'll have to show us in the future haha~

You see all those feathers that look like they are fixing to fall out. its called molting and this breed typically molts between 1.5 years and 2 years

Thank you goldenseabright! I've been trying to learn more about the breed.

It does make sense. Thank you! So basically since all then hens he has been with are brown egg layers, the resulting hens will lay "tinted" eggs (but not be blue). Correct?

Correct, they will not be blue.

He's beautiful!

First hatchlings from this guy this weekend.

Mostly crossed with a barred rock. Would those be black sex links? Or "easter eggers"? They seem to have some light spots on their heads (roosters, I'm assuming) and a few that don't. Here is a picture of one with the head spot (can't see it really).



And then I have two like this guy (I'm thinking it's a rooster by looking at the wing feathers). I think mom is my silver laced Wyandotte.



Ideas of what these guys will look like grown up? I am not sure if I should tell friends I'm gifting them to if they are "easter eggers" or what.

Okay, thank you. And with the blue egg gene from the Wheaten Ameracuana rooster, the hens from these crosses will probably lay "tinted" eggs. Correct? Can I have clarification of what an "Easter Egger" is? I thought since they were not really a recognized breed (or am I wrong here?) that crosses of true Ameracuanas were actually "Easter Eggers" and that is why some hatcheries advertise them as non-show birds.

That's fine. Thank you for the clarification. Would the chicks look like the BSL where the roosters have the white spots on their heads? These chicks look like BSL chicks with black legs. Thanks for your help. It is appreciated.
