What kinda Mutts...?

[KsTornado11]

...are these guys? A guy told me he had some nice EE roos,so I sent my husband & son to go get 2. This is what they came home with!! Not even close to EEs.

I don't know what breed are in the pics, but I do know that EEs come in all kinds of colors. It's the blue-egg gene they carry, not necessarily the feather colors.

I am aware of that,but these guys aren't even close to being EEs. wrong kinda combs,legs,no muffs,etc.

it might be a brahma and silver laced

Wish you lived closer... I have some EE roos that need new homes

They're pretty though... maybe they are part EE. EEs have no standard, though , ya, they usually are muffed, green legged, etc.

The white one looks like a Light Sussex possibly. I doubt Brahma due to being clean-legged.

i do not know about that twoof my light brahma hens i got fron tuffoldhen do not have any feathers at all on their legs

Some folks call any cross bred chicken an EE. I would agree that they should closer resemble the ameraucana type (muffs/beard/pea comb, etc), but everyone has their own opinions on that. Who knows...maybe they were sold to them from a hatchery as an EE. We all know anything goes with that and people simply pass on the misinformation they were presented with.

They look like a mix breed and I am not sure what sex, How old are they?

Well,the guy advertised Americanas (hatchery spelling,LOL) and the pullets were gone,so I asked if he by chance had any Americana roos left,as ours got onto the road & hit by a car. He said he did,some nice RED ones. Was having a guy come this morning to butcher the rest of the roos. I asked him to save me the RED ones ( from how he talked,I expected that they were likely "whatevers" lol ) but gosh,these guys don't have a red feather ANYWHERE on them!! Made me mad,not that they were mutts,as EEs always are,but heck is he colorblind,as well as having no clue about the breeds??

Anyway,my 5 year old loves one of the mutts,so I guess we're stuck w/ him. I have a small flock of 7 EE pullets,and was really wanting a nice roo for them,for when they begin to lay. They are not near Ameraucana standard,but very nice stock as far as EEs go. I really love the muffed,super-colorful,
awesome layers,super-friendly EEs Cackle has,& I wanted a nice roo to breed them to.
