Yep, that's what I mean!  I've seen at least two others over my travels in BYC land.  They're not a 'breed' but they seem to come out with some pretty standard issued hens somehow.

wow becky3086 those blues are amazing! . . . no beards though isn't that funny? the beards seem to be a really dominant trait usually. I sure would be bugging you to use them for breeding if you lived closer!

I think most of us consider them a breed anyway. That is why people are always answering on here, "Looks like an EE to me". wink

The hens all have beards so I am hoping to get some blue chicks with beards. The one I have so far (pictured) is rumpless and has some tufts but don't see any beard. The black and white chicks that hatched in the same batch seem to have both but are not rumpless. I love EE's big_smile

LOL, I don't know about that. I just think they are pretty and they lay a very nice greenish colored egg, not too light, just what I wanted in a color for the eggs. My birds come from two different people on here. One sent me eggs that were supposed to be blue and were but they were kind of yucky colored to me, the other had beautiful blue eggs. I guess the combination make a beautiful green egg. Anyway, these are some of the nicest chickens I have including the bantams which I don't have pictures of yet.

Becky3086, those EE colors are awesome!!

OK, I will confess here (far away from coop hearing range) that I love my little EE most of all the 5 girls in the flock!  It's hard to say because I love them all, but SHE is such a darling.  If I had to pick one.... hmm  Quiet & gentle, but inquisitive, and soooo easy to handle - I can pick her up with one hand and she just hangs there, relaxed.  When I'm around, she chirps & talks to me all the time.  She's bottom of the pecking order, but fortunately, she has one best friend near the top, who pals around with her.  She's a hatchery chick I got from the local feed store this May.

Her name is Zsa Zsa, the only chick my DH named.  She knows her name & comes running when I call her.  Here she is about a month ago, and her egg below (sage green on the outside -- inside the shell's robin's egg blue?):

If I wanted to add another EE, with a bluer egg, what would I need to look for?

the INSIDE of her shell is blue??? I have never heard of that! VERY COOL!
as far as getting one that lays a bluer egg I think you pretty much have to go with a purebred Ameraucana for that, otherwise it's luck of the draw.  She looks exactly like my Red Riding Hood . .  who lays a light tan egg!
