Like the poster said, she already thought that she's an EE, but I have what I call EE's & they lay pale BLUE eggs. So what does THAT mean? I bought 1 from a guy who breeds all kinds of chickens & has secure breeding pens, which i saw myself. The other came from a feed store, which of COURSE, had them labeled "Ameraucana". One's a reddish Wheaten color, & one's got markings similar to a light brahma. I just always figure they're EE's. They both lay almost the same shade of blue egg. Now I'm wondering what's up....
Back to the thread...I STILL say PULLET!
I know they have a pea comb; I was referring to the color development as well as size, & she's got neither, imho.
I've seen some exceptions where EEs are simply AOV Ameraucanas, thus able to have blue eggs.
But a lot of people do see a blue-green or teal blue egg and call it blue, too. . . So it could be either scenario.
EEs can lay pretty much any color egg, from olive to brown to pink to aqua to blue... Depends on what the mix is...So you just never know what you'll get til they start to lay. A lady not far from me has a bunch of EEs that lay blue eggs(pale) that came from parents that lay blue eggs(pale blue)... And I have 2 EEs from 2 totally different sources that lay blue eggs(not as dark as my Ameraucana though). One looks like it may have been the product of an AMxLeghorn as she is exactly marked like my brown Leghorn except fatter, and has green legs... Then me and Shelleyd2008(Who I got the second one from) have discussed the other one and I'm of the opinion it may actually be a mix of an Ara and an AM, she came a bunch of eggs from a private breeder that bred both.
