Anyone up for guess the breed?

[cherrynberry]

Easter Eggers are mixes with the blue gene. Pre-Ameraucanas, before they became an actual breed.

Easter Eggers can have single combs, occasionally light feathering on the legs, lay pink, or white eggs, lack a beard, have slate, yellow, green, or white legs.

I have a few beardless ones. Interested to see what they look like grown.

The walnut one would look interesting.

If you want to continue the chat, we can go into a conversation?

If they were Sussex or even half Sussex, they would have pink legs. With hatchery birds, they are never random mixes because there just isn't a chance that a bird hops a fence or something along the lines of that. They are mixes with a purpose. Taking into account the crests of these two, the only hatchery mix that they could be would be Easter or Olive Egger

Okay.

I agree, I hatch and breed EE's. But look at those roos conformation. But they don't have beards, olive legs, or pea combs. Even if I'm not basing off the color, still, the conformation.

No. Nuh-uh.
These are not Ameraucana crosses. They are Cream Legbar crosses. If they were girls they’d lay colored eggs. Not all EEs are Ameraucana crosses.

Ahhhh, that would explain allot.... Thank you!

Olive egger would be awesome

Easter eggers and olive eggers can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. I have a whiting true blue(fancy name for an easter egger, lol) she has a beard, muffs, modified pea comb, and slate legs. My olive egger has none of those things besides slate legs and is all black with a huge single comb.
