is she an EE? breed and gender question

Pretty colored little rooster. Have wondered lately with some of the odd colored bantam EEs that are showing up if the hatcheries are using half their other breeds of bantams to produce them. Agree he does have a weird wing set in those pictures and some of the big hatcheries are now offering d'Anvers and d'Uccles in various blue patterns. Some hatcheries limit the number of breeds they offer in the fall, wonder if they combine flocks and just stick in hens whose breeds they aren't offering with EE roosters to make EEs, since they usually keep offering them late into the fall.

it could be. too bad i already have a black copper maran rooster or i would keep him!
 
I agree it looks to me like an EE as well. and unfortunately a roo also. :( but this might be the question of the day ??

good luck, I hope it turns out to be a girl !
