I don't know how to refer to my chickens properly, and I want to learn? What do you call this roo's coloring? (Gray feathers tipped with reddish brown)

"Tractor" is 7/8 weeks old

Easter eggers don't have any sort of 'standard' colors. From a genetics standpoint, you might call that color silver based duckwing or silver based, wild type partridge.

Agreed. EEs are hybirds produced by crossing blue egg layers with brown egg layers to produce offspring that lay eggs in colors other than just blue. Since they are hybrids, they will not breed true nor do they conform to any color standards.

I agree with the other posters. All my EE's look close to each other with a little variation. I do not have a white EE. I Would love to see his colors when he is full grown!!
