My EE hen, don't know what the cross is, or how old she is, or where she really came from, got her from a kid down the road. but she is very soft to the touch, and a good mother. she took to my bach of feed store chicks, and attacks anyone who she thinks will hurt them. in the first two pics I had them in a stock trailer, the last one they are in their new coop an 8x8 play house

her comb shows she is a cross

she is standing on my brooder

with her brood

With the way her comb flops she could be crossed with a brown leghorn.... She is really pretty!

thanks, I like her.

leghorn, duh. the flopy comb has baffled me. I don't know how well she lays, I gother after the chicks and only had her a week befor she went mother hen.

aw, well good luck then... If she does have a hint of BL she may be a good layer for you.

I do not understand this one, a Splash Ameraucana. I thought to be an Ameraucana it had to be one of the APA colors??? I did not see Splash listed on the colors? So wouldn't this be just a pretty EE?

Splash is a natural by product of breeding blue to blue. And the club is working on getting them admitted to the standard along with the lavenders.

My EE roo, Sydney. Anyone have any idea what color he would be called?

The 3 EE hens - Sabine (the buff), Skittles (black/orange) and Snapple (a grey with brown mottling). Any help on color names would be helpful. The BA is Quiche, her sister Souffle is out of the picture. And that's Sid the roo. Cheerio time. Poor Mo da cat is counting on the safety of DBF's lap.

So what I have read then wouldn't they be EE until they are accepted? Along with a few other colors?

I would say no, since they are a natural outcome of accepted color varieties. It didn't really make sense not to include splash with the color acceptance of blue.

If anything, lavender should be called EEs.

I find the whole matter a little confusing. If it is not one of the 8 colors then it is a EE except in certain cases??? Does anyone have a list of these certain cases?
I don't mean to be a PIA just trying to make since of the whole color thing and when it is a EE and when it is the real deal.
