What color? EE cross

[pbjmaker]

What color would you call this EE chick? Is it "blue" or could it be called silver? The color shimmers if that helps.

I think it would be silver (splash) with some buff mixed in.

sure is pretty!

I would call it blue birchen. The reddish head indicates it's color is based on the ER locus gene.

Not sure of the color (maybe self blue/buff), but he sure is pretty. You may have to wait till he grows up.
Hope the middle toe isn’t crooked, as I have noticed it to be a common genetic issue with the EE's. If it is you may be able to splint it.

i think it will be a blue/buff color

Love that color - it will be interesting to see what it looks like when it feathers out.

Her toes are fine - It was just how she was standing at that moment - but thanks for the concern

Crooked middle toes are an incubation/nutrition issue; not genetic.
