Is this a splash EE

[Bob the chicken man]

I don't remember how old he is in this photo but he should be almost 4 months now. I can't get any more pictures sadly because i no longer have him because of the "he" aspect. But i think he is a splash EE. Am i right?

Not sure what breed that is, though EE don't have really a known color unlike the americana which have colors.

Are you saying that it could be an americana.

It's a Easter Egger, clean face and yellow skin. You are correct that he's Splash. And while Easter Eggers aren't a recognized breed, and aren't typically specific colors, that doesn't mean that one can't have the correct genetics for a specific color. I've got Blacks, Barred, and Brown Red Easter Eggers in my flock.

Thank you. That's what i thought but i was just making sure. He was actually my favorite out of my chickens and was hoping it was a hen but that didn't go so well. luckily he has a home now that can have roosters.

do you know any hatchery's that sell hens of those because they are pretty birds and i wanted that type so i was wondering if anyone sold them but as hens not roosters.

What do you mean? You can order Blue/Splash Ameraucana from several hatcheries these days. Most of my Easter Eggers are second, third, or fourth generation from my breeding project. I've selected for specific genes. No hatchery breeds specific varieties of Easter Eggers.

Well i was asking if there is a way to get that same type. the clean faced splash Easter egger.

Not really any way that you could special order one. Murray McMurray's Whiting True Blues tend to have more blue/splash variations and tend to be more frequently clean faced than their Easter Eggers (sold as Araucana/Ameraucana). So you would have better odds, but no guarantees.
