I’ve got an EE hen that appears to have a little bit of mottling on her, just her head and muffs. She wasn’t always like this, it showed up in her last molt, I believe, and she’s five years old. Is this really mottling? And if so, would it be dominant or recessive? I can get better pictures if...

The possible moms:
In total, there were four EE eggs, three Wyandotte eggs, and one Delaware egg. The two SLW cross pullets look like this, solid blue with walnut combs.
And the two other pullets, black with silver leakage.
I do, on the computer, so I can't get to them. The EEs are basically all wildtype, and look pretty much the same, orangey. The Delaware is hatchery quality, and so are the SLW, but they're standard, and both Wyandottes have rose combs.
The thing is, one of them has to be a Wyandotte cross. I...
Who were these guys' mothers? Their dad is a Blue Ameraucana, and moms are either one of three EEs, a Delaware, or a SLW.
This guy had some partial lacing on his chest, but it got mostly covered up by leakage when he grew up. He had a full beard, and either a modified pea comb or a weird single...
What color is this guy? I was just browsing random threads, and found him. Whatever he is, he's gorgeous!

I've never replied to this thread, but it's so interesting! I have a couple questions.
What would I get if...
I crossed a Blue Ameraucana rooster with a Mottled Java hen?
Same rooster with a Columbian Wyandotte?
Same rooster with a Partridge laced Barnevelder?
Same rooster with a Delaware?
