EE 1: shes actually the least "chipmonk" like shes a chestnut red down her back and on her head and like a VERY soft blue grey on her underside. Id LOVE a blue bird!

EE 2: Mid range in color, just a little lighter orange/yellow than the buff orphington, with a nice red "stripe"

and EE 3: shes the lightest of the 3, with a similar soft yellow to my columbian rock girl...and a more orange red stripe with a darker richer red border, the splotch on her head is shaped like the super man symbol lol

so...
of those babies...who would YOU choose to keep.
the extras are already claimed.

they will be joining, 1 columbian rock, 1 barred rock, 1 black australorp, 1 Buff Orphington, 1 speckled Sussex, 1 Partridge rock and 1 Dark Brahma.
i want lots of color and pattern, sweet birds who tend to lay well.
 
I would keep SLW #2, EE #1 and EE #3

I'm not the hugest wyandotte fan though. I have a few of them and they are disrupting my flock. The Columbian wyandotte is aggressive to the other hens and the SLW is unfriendly and skittish. I LOVE the plymouth rocks though, and am super jealous that you have a columbian rock. I'm actually going to be getting rid of all my wyandottes except my blue laced red.
