I would like to figure out who the parents are of this young roo. He hatched from a pinkish egg on Sept 15. He may have had one long tail feather and lost it or I may be thinking of my other young roo who definitely has a long tail feather. The possible parents are pictured below. I am wondering if he might be carrying a coloured egg gene.
Thanks so much for any help.

It looks like he has a little bit of a muff and crest, so I think Winston is Dad as I don't see a muff on either mom. His coloring is a lot like my boy Ron whose mom is a silver leghorn, so I'm going with Henrietta for mom:) That is a total guess though.
 
Seems to be most votes are for Joe and Henrietta. They did spend a lot of time together. But the young cockerel has a tuft and muffs. Neither Joe or Henrietta did whereas Winston had both and a beard. Are tuffs and muffs recessive that they would show up in a second generation? Here's another picture of Henrietta.
