If I breed my EE Rooster to a Golden Comet hen could I get EE chicks? I just hatched a brood and have several chicks with feathered legs and several with ear muffs. Just curious also what colour eggs to expect...?
I am adding an Ameraucana Rooster to my flock shortly. He is pure and a Silver.
I currently have BR, CCL, LS, BB, Dominiques, EE, RSL, Houdan, Silkies, Red Production, CRx, BCM and then several barnyard mixes. All are hens.
If my Ameraucana fertilizes these hens what can I expect for offspring?

Ok sounds good. May have to build a ridge on the top of the run for snow to slide off the tarps. I was thinking of wrapping it in a vapour barrier to get a greenhouse effect. That may work on sunny days perhaps.
I live by the ocean in Canada where are winters are cold, snowy and damp. We often get rain and freezing rain. I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on putting a tarp or some sort of plastic on and around my chicken run. It's currently below zero at the moment with a few inches of snow on...
This Pullet is from the same brood. I believe you are right about Olive Egger project. He told me they were Ameraucanas but when they started to grow I didn't think so. I looked back at the add and it said Americaunas spelt with an I. So then I just figured Easter Eggers. Someone today told me...
