Thank you. The EE seemed to be somewhat protective to me. She also had a different body shape--leaner than most. To me, seemed like she has differing colors (head, neck and body) but I am definitely no expert so I appreciate the help. I was expecting her to be a rooster because she was one of my favorites. I am quite happy to be wrong.
I ended up adding the Creme Legbars because I wanted to make sure my blue eggs didn't go away. Oh well, guess I will have more blue eggs than I need .
Also amusingly, I heard what I thought was attempted crowing in the last week or so. When I finally figured out the culprit, it was a Creme Legbar. So definitely not crowing.
