So I've got this roo, mom's a buff hatchery [so definitely not breed standard] brahma and dad is one of three boys: a paint rooster [ayam cemani x white leghorn, as far as I know] with a nice big straight comb, a blue rooster of unknown origin who's produced most of the blues in my current flock [he has also produced a chick of which my best description is 'lemon blue' though I know she probably wasn't up to any standard] also flat comb, and an EE rooster with a frankly bizarre comb.
I'll set the pictures of the rooster in question here:
The three potential fathers here:
My questions are as follows: 1: who's the most likely dad [blue boy had comb tips before winter]? 2: does this white on his under-feathers point to recessive or dominant white genes, and 3: is there any chance the EE is the father, given the comb type [because then he'd have a chance of carrying the blue egg gene, though just a chance given the EE has only one copy].
