EE is a pullet.

I agree with most, the barred rock looks like a pullet, but keep an eye on her. Maybe post again in 3-4 weeks.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Thank you all.  We will keep an eye on the BR.  Its nice to know the EE is a pullet.  We really want to get some blue/green eggs.  Are we correct to assume that she is an EE?  We were told she was an Ameraucana, but have read that most are actually EEs.

Yes, looks like an EE pullet. There are only 8 accepted colors in the Ameraucana breeder's standard, and anything that doesn't meet the standard is considered a cross and often called EE. The hatcheries are focusing on egg color, so they are not breeding to meet the standard and will mix in other breeds as well.
