who would like to take a guess at what type of birds these are?

You got the easy part. The mom is EE. I want to see how long it takes to figure dad out!!!

mom ee/ dad faverolle?

btw- we want egg prizes.

wrong! I am starting to think this is too hard , though. I will give another clue. The dad is a breed that is almost non- existent in the chicken community and he is not a game chicken. Another clue, let me think. The dad had to be ordered from California( I didn't order him, he was ordered and owned by the woman that I got my birds from. I did see him, though.) They are a bit young still. They are right around the 4 month mark.

Here are some 4 week old chicks from the same dad but different mom, the mom is a silkie cross. These chicks have 5 toes and most of them have willow legs. I have about 10 of them. They are starting to get some colors on them. One or two of them have one fat feather on each wing that is a bronze color, and a several are starting to get brown or red feathers around their necks. They change every day. Most of them have the silkie trait of the feathers sticking up on their heads like mohawks. These are going to be really interesting. Their tails and saddles are starting to grow at an alarming rate. These pictures were taken a week ago at 4 weeks old.

Onagadori X ee?

I don't know that they're a "chicken" but he reminds me of a roadrunner.

Grey Jungle fowl-EE.

Well, once you showed us the hen it was easy to see the EE factor. I am not versed well enough on all the breeds to guess what else would give them the extraordinary tails.
I will have to keep studying.

EE and Sumatra?

Okay, let me try anyway:

EE X Minorca?
