Help making more EE's that look like this:

The only non-Wyandotte Rose combs I have is this splash/Cochin/bantam:

Could Hedwig be the EE rooster over a GLW? I was breeding the BLRW (splash) roo over some GLW's to make darker blues around the time Hedwig hatched. Perhaps he had mated one of them recent enough one of the chicks was his instead of the BLRW. I had a note saying she was from an EE egg that I was also hatching but maybe the note is wrong. This guy also hatched around the same time from a brown leghorn egg. I'm pretty sure the EE is the father.

This particular EE rooster is the horniest rooster I have ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the dad.

She laid this olive egg this morning.

It is most likely that a Gold Laced was the mother. Hedwig could not have had a splash parent. Splash will pass a Blue gene to all offspring. Since Hedwig clearly has black patterning, not Blue, it is not possible for her to have a Splash parent.

Oh, if there were glw hens in the mix, I do think that's your combo. The EE over the glw hen.

I do love this game, it's kind of like Clue....Colonel Mustard, in the Conservatory, with the Candlestick---you know?

The BLRW is a rooster. I just put him and Pepper in the honeymoon sweet yesterday.

If she's been with other roo's, she can be fertile already by someone else for about 2ish weeks. So your honeymoon suite might not be the mix you are looking for yet.

@junebuggena Love your understanding of which trait is dominant and who it passes to. I will be working to learn more of that stuff in the coming year.

Pretty eggs!

I think I only waited one week when I had them separated before. In retrospect I'm glad I did!

So here's the happy family:

Now that I see them together it makes sense. I'm going to leave the EE with GLW and the BLW in there and see if we can get more. Theoretically the EE/BLW should end up similar but with blue instead of black undertones right?
