What kind of rooster is Junior?

[gryeyes]

Easter Eggers are MIXES. So, if there is game bird or other genetic source "in there," it could be part of the "mix." We're seeing EE because of the coloring of his plumage - that russet on his shoulders, for example, with the black chest front, is one of the hallmarks of EE roosters. But perhaps something with a crest is in that mix; hence the "acceptance" of a crest on an EE.

Gosh I hope that makes sense.

my OEGB mutt looks the same.....color wise....

I say he look's EE"ish" to me is because of him comb. From that picture it looks like a pea comb. His legs are also slate/ green which is also an EE trait.

black breasted red (a common Game bird color) also has the red on the back/shoulders and a black breast. Gold duckwing I believe also has a black breast with red in the wings. Wheaten also has black in the breast. I could see EE if there were a pea comb, traces of a beard/muff, or a heavier body build. I don't see EE in this boy at all.

Cubalaya's have pink legs so he's not likely that, he has really dark looking legs, slate or green, I can't quite tell...
