That was the link that kitmarlowescot2 had posted so I just read from it.
I am still learning. Even though I only have 8 girls, 5 SS , 2 Wellies and 1 EE I want to learn about all the nearly endless possibilities of chicken breed out there. Someday I would love to move someplace with more land for gardening, chickens and other animals.

get either the standard of perfection from the APA or get storey's illustrated guide to poultry breeds. the apa book will tell what every breed is supposed to look like and storey's is a good illustrated guide with basic info in it both good for learning about breeds.

Thanks for all the advice and help... I was not sure what the sex was as he has not crowed yet and is not the dominate Rooster in my flock. I was starting to think it was a hen and was wondering when he would lay an egg but I guess I'll be waiting forever for that....lol. But can't wait to see what the offspring looks like!

Oh, keep this link to Henderson's Handy Dandy Chicken Breed Chart: www.Ithaca.edu/staff/jhenderson/chooks/chooks.html
And that's a handsome EE cockerel you've got there. He looks like he might grow up to be as gorgeous as my flock's dominant roo, Carl, also an EE of that distinctive pattern. Carl is 3 now and his comb is quite impressive for a pea comb, but his didn't develop until long after he was already crowing.

He is not so high up in the pecking order as Buddy (this bird) gives way to Kellogg. My bird Kellogg is my dom.... head of the pack roo.
