I am new to EEs and I have 3 gorgeous pullets 2 light rust one of those with a completely blue head and the other with blue splashed on her neck. The third one is blue and gold gold laced with the body being blue laced and her head and neck gold laced. I have a lakenvelder, partridge cohcin, barred rock and Columbian wyandotte roos. Do you know which would be the better choice to breed to keep the blue in the feathers?

I think any one of them would work and produce quite a bit of blue coloration for you. Personally I would use the Columbian Wyandotte.

You might get something like this one: , might not can see it very good, I no longer have this one though. He threw me a good bunck of babies and some had blue in them. I called this one a Blue Columbian Splash.

Nice that looks like what I'm trying for. I just love the EEs I call them my sunshine girls. It always looks like they are smiling.

I usually watch for and keep the ones with peacombs. Not sure if the rosecomb will be dominate over the pea or not. You can always find a EE roo later and breed back for the pea comb though.
