Breed and Gender please (Lily) - Rhode Island or Red Sex Link Hen with RIR Rooster

[NatJ]

We thought he was a RIR but he's got a pea comb. Someone mentioned a Buckeye, so we looked at pics and he looks just like one.

Pea combs are also common in Easter Eggers.
And the gene that causes green or blue feet (instead of yellow or white) is pretty common in Easter Eggers.

So I wonder if he could be an Easter Egger instead of a Buckeye.

If the rooster has green or blue legs he could also be an Easter egger

I'll let my friend know. She's getting rid of him today anyway. She has been raising true RIR's and Leghorn chicks the past 6-weeks or so, plus she's now got EE and OE too.

Could have very well been. She's rehoming him today.

Oh, and Lee John, the Rooster has yellow legs.
