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.

Unrelated to our discussion but Winston is absolutely gorgeous. The red and black are just so perfect and lustrous.

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.
