Breeding EE with EE

[crissycriss]

IF you breed EE with EE's will there offspring be EE.(sorry for the dumb question)

 

[gamebirdsonly]

Yes!

Yes, they will still be considered EEs, but because they come from mixed breed heritage, they may not breed true for certain traits that you might be hoping for. They're like a box of chocolates....!

Yes, they are still Easterr Eggers. And for the most part they do breed true. I.E.= most wil have beards and muffs (unless you have the beardless ones, then if bred to beard then you could get some of both), and for the most part favor the parents.

EE is not a breed, just a name for a mutt chicken that has some characteristics of Araucana/Ameraucana chickens. So they don't breed "true", as they are not a true breed.

That's alright every breed started out as mutts.
One day you'll see them only they'll have a different name. That is when someone decides to write a standard for them.

I just love it when someone starts shouting mutt. When most everyone knows all chickens are mutts to a degree.
