Im sorry that is not an EE and its a roo EE's do not have straight combs they have pea combs-did you buy it or hatch it?

 

[ramirezframing]

ees can have a straight comb, I have one myself (avatar). He's a crooked beak with some issuses

but he came off my mom's ee flock so I know he's an ee. But yours is a roo.

My friend hatched it out of his with some of our silkies.

He said its.... hmmm I thought it was an ee cause all the eggs we use to get from him are green. Jeff said "No honey he said its an Ameraucana mix".....

So? U think roo?

Regardless of what it is... it has a home until our silkies are big enough to join the coop. Its a good "momma" and they are all 1/2 its size and sleep under it and follow it around the yard. So its a good "parenting hatchmate"

Yep. cockerel. It's a boy.

rooster Im sorry at that age to have the redness and comb size with the wattles -rooster
and Straight combed hens have less than a 3% chance of laying a colored egg. I have one! brown eggs-nice but brown...
a rooster can be hatched from an EE egg and still have a straight comb BUT will highly unlikely pass on that colored egg gene to his chicks...

yup if an Ameraucana mated with a straight combed mate -half will be straight combed basically-pretty boy though!

Oh well.... he will eventually make for a good dinner I s'pose. Poor fella.

 

[mother o' chicks72]

don't eat him! he's cute and sounds like he's a sweet little guy!

He looks like a blue barred something???? Very pretty roo. I just hatched some Blue rocks, Black rocks, Barred Rocks and Blue Barred Rocks and I hope mine show like that soon. Don't see too many Blue Barred birds.....
