Thanks for the help. So I guess Easter Eggers don't have set feather patterns like other breeds (ie. Wyandottes) do? That's what threw me off when I've looked up pictures of EEs before...

Easter Eggers are not a breed, per say, but rather a mixed breed bird - as such they do not breed true and do not have any particular breed standard to which they adhere. For many, that is one of the attractive things about them - that they come in all sorts of colors and patterns.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense, thank you! Now we can rest easy knowing what he is ;D
