Ameraucana or EE?

[sab]

Well, I'll just keep looking for a more colorful egg. The two I have laying both lay brown eggs (Tango is my Dominique - really small eggs and Echo is my Black Australorpe - really big eggs). Either way, Oscar (yeah, weird name for a hen!) is a cool chicken, so it's all fine.

I have a beautiful lady just like yours with the same deep olive green feet. I bet you will be gathering nice olive green eggs just like mine....​

I knew that people get really confused, but I thought someone judging a poultry show, particularly on a state fair level, would have some level of competence. Which is why I'm now extremely confused on what I *THOUGHT* made an EE an EE.


And just so that this doesn't turn into an ameraucana v ee debate, I have four EE that I absolutely adore and am thrilled with. When it comes time for me to replace them, I will probably get more EE.

YES! Pretty girl! I would guess a green egg! Let us know! I have a girl that looks like her!

That is a beautiful bird! I have four EEs - and they all started laying between 24 and 26 1/2 weeks.

Pretty EE pullet! Let us know when you get that first egg from her.

Joskt0204, I have two ee's that look similar to yours. They hatched around April 5th. One started laying blue/green eggs on September 1st, but the other one hasn't even been thinking about it yet. She is the runt, a very needy bit of a chicken who's muff partially blocks her vision (Yes, we clipped them). Right now we have 4 distinctly different eggs--we know who lays what, and when. It's just fun keeping track.

I would say she's an Easter Egger and a very pretty one too! Just wait til she lays her first egg, you will be amazed at the color! I love my EE's blue/green eggs so much that I'm thinking about taking an egg to Home Depot and having paint made in that color!!

Thanks for all of the information and encouragement. I'll keep being hopeful.
