Can anybody tell me what was potentially used to create these Ameraucana/EE beauties? They're so colorful!

Cool what color egg dose she lay?

Star lays a daily pink egg with white speckles! I will have to take some photos of her eggs today, they are my favorite. Here is a picture of what her egg looks like
( Bottom egg ) *not my photo*

And Red *that's her name* is currently taking a " vacation " from laying haha-
but she lays a light shade olive colored egg! Here is a photo of her eggs from when she was laying. ( I just realized there is a few of Star's pink eggs in this photo!) Although I had just washed them so they look a bit dark

The EE girls just look like standard hatchery Easter Eggers. Not sure on the cross. I believe most use EE x EE. Don’t know what background they have other than Ameraucana.

That's sad, it would have been nice to know how to replicate those crosses. Those girls really are gorgeous, snif.

I‘m sure you could get some that are similar if you order from a hatchery!

I'd like to try a hatchery eventually, yes. But my wallet is too tiny right now, so it's cheaper to ask a local farmer to cross some of his birds (provided I know which ones are needed) so I can get fertile eggs or chicks that will give me such pullets. It's not ideal, but better that than no girls when it's time for me to replenish my flock xD

hi all!! i come with a quest. i have a beautiful mystery boy! (well, most people are saying boy at least)

i hatched him from a “mystery” egg. i assumed EE because greenish egg and what i thought was a pea comb, but just learned it’s a cushion comb! and tragically they only do parentage dna tests for pigeons, not chickens, i’m going crazy trying to figure it out!

so far on another thread here, y'all helped out and we had a couple conclusions.
-he has a cushion comb, one gene for pea and one for rose combs.
-most likely a sex linked breed because he's white with gold leakage but not a pure white.
-one parent, probably mom, was an EE

any insight would be so appreciated.

so let me introduce to you, Georgie!

He hatched from this egg, that I'm dumb and thought said "shw" because I was reading it upside down..

between 1-2 weeks. a very precious blob.

awkward teenage phase

filling in the feathers! 5-6 weeks old

9-10 weeks

10-11ish weeks. His gorgeous tail feathers!

~10 weeks sitting on my knee. Every morning and evening I go in the coop and they sit on me for a bit George especially, Sophie, my gal prefers the shoulder lol.

Lil muffs and beard. His* comb can get very red like 3 photos up, but then will be a lighter pink like in this throughout the day. He's got a mood comb??

Okay if you actually read this all thank you and I hope you enjoyed Georgie's modeling skills. Let me know if anything comes to mind about him!
