What breed is my roo?

I would love to have some blue in the chicks, if it's the blue I'm thinking of - it's my favorite color so far on chickens. Actually, two of the EE hens have some nice blue and blue-gray coloring. The darker gray one shown is blue and red now, and the light gray one is now light gray, blue, and white. As for the boy, I don't have a better pic, but I know what you're talking about. Now that I think about it, I do remember his feathers looking softer in color, rather than fully black, at least the underneath feathers do. I'll be sure to look closer at him tomorrow.



Not the best pic, but shows more of the current colors
 
Definitely looks like some of the hens have blue, yeah, might even get the occasional splash patterned chick from them then :D.
 
Well, four hatched.

Two yellowish ones with a blue/silver stripe (one with a slightly red head), the gray/blue/black one, and the black one in front which I believe is a sex link. Guessing female?

If it has a single comb and no beard, I'd say it's likely a Sexlink. There is a chance it's from your 'lorp.
If it has a beard and/or a pea comb, it's from your EEs, and not sex linked.
 
I can never seem to see the beards at that age. It does have a single comb though, white wing tips, neck and belly.


 
Also, this is a better shot of the others. I can't decide if that is blue coloring...
