Could i have EEs for 4-H?

[Chickenrandomness]

i need to know! i may have found my perfect chicken! (only if i can have them for 4-H)

They're not a pure breed, so I would not recommend using them for 4h. If you like that breed and the egg color, I'd go with the ameraucana. They are closely related and you can raise a couple color varieties to give your backyard flock some color, while still being able to show them.

I agree hinkjc since they aren't pure dont use them... I show in 4h so I know.

Nah, no EEs for show, as they conform to no breed standard. Sad! Ameraucanas look a lot like EEs and lay green eggs so maybe try them instead.

Ameraucanas do not lay GREEN Eggs. That is an EE. Ameraucanas lay blue eggs. I know that there are some out there that dont follow the rule but per the standard they lay blue.

I agree with karabbitry. Ameraucanas lay blue eggs...
