Pretty sure all North American EOs come from the same bloodline that was imported to Canada years ago unless someone else has imported them and not told anyone. I am almost certain it has been confirmed that both got theirs from the same line around the same time. Not sure who got them first out...
What would you use them for since the all white will produce all white? I thought white was dominate over Columbian and would not let Colombian express itself? If that is the case what could you do with them?
Doing well, thanks. I have decided to wait plus my wife is doing a bantam BCM project. Trying to focus on the EOs and black and blue LF Plymouth Rocks. Plus the pigs and the garden. Then 2300 feet of fence..... :)

Cheryl, I would recommend going to the EO forum "in my sig" and read about them. It is also a great group of people dedicated to improving EOs. We have discussed a lot of the issues with these birds. Also in earlier posts in this thread it is discussed where the EOs are not pure and were crossed...
Marraduna is a color variety of the EO. The white variety is called Zilara. The Black is Beltza. Gorria is the red, there are 2 other varieties. A naked neck variety lepsola and another one that is supposed to be extinct the llidona. I think I got the names correct or at least close :) They are...
