Polish/Easter egger or Polish/Seabright

[MysteryChicken]

There are sexually dimorphic color patterns like Wildtype, Wheaten, & Partridge.

Okay thanks guys, just kind of wanted to know what to expect. I'll post pictures when they hatch.

The EE looks like a Sex-Linked rooster.

I'd say it looks more like a Delaware than a Sex-link, but the photos are taken in the wrong direction to make out a lot of details. If the sun had been behind the photographer, rather than in front, it would be easier to make out some details.

Also, I detest mixing breeds so I'm not going to be any help regarding the potential offspring except to say they'll be a mess. lol Especially since one of the fathers is not pure. I'd also hazard a guess that unless you've seen the laced male breeding the Polish, the Deleware has probably been doing it. And I'd go with NatJ's description of the potential offspring.

The Seabright rooster has bred her. I got my EE rooster from tractor supply.

Tractor Supply sometimes mixes up the labels on their chick bins.
So even though it was labeled EE, it probably is a Delaware instead.

You can tell for sure by his offspring: if his daughters lay green eggs he is really an Easter Egger, but if they lay brown eggs he is almost certainly the Delaware he looks like.

It is true that Easter Eggers can have any appearance, but when a chicken looks almost exactly right for a certain other breed they usually are that breed. With a hen, you can double-check by their egg color, but of course roosters don't lay eggs! But you can (potentially) learn what egg-color genes he has by seeing what color eggs his daughters lay.

Yes it will be interesting. I already have some chicks by him and my EE hen.
