What color EE?

Hi! I have an EE roo named Eric, he's a super dapper guy, but I'm interested in his coloring. His pattern is unique and he looks almost blue? I'm new to chickens so I have no clue about colors lol. Just bought an incubator so im excited to see what colors he produces because even though im biased i think hes handsome! Thanks in advance!

He is pretty but I don't know what color you'd call that.

He's of mixed color genetics because Easter eggers are mixed breeds. But he's pretty close to blue golden duckwing.

He is handsome, but I may be biased too because he looks a bit like my EE. Rumps here came from Cackle with a couple other EE cockerels who grew up to have similar coloring. I know nothing about the naming conventions for chicken colors.

Because they're a mix, EE cocks can and do produce chicks of every color and pattern under the sun. They're fun that way. It looks like you have a pretty diverse flock of hens, too, so it should be extra fun for you to see how the chicks turn out!

I'd say blue red golden duckwing seems the most likely

I just had to stop by and say that red/gray coloring is gorgeous what a handsome boy!

Thanks for all the comments! I didn't know EE could produce a ton of different colors so I'm extra excited lol!

Yup, they are mutts, so, basically, genetic soup!
