EE mix...are they still EEs?

[TinyLittleFarm]

Just hatched 2 babies who are EE hen X Light Brahma roo. Do you still call them Easter Eggers? Or do you just call them mutts?

Any chance of green eggs like their mammas?

 

[Bravo]

They're still EE's

I don't call them ee's unless they lay colored (green/blue) eggs. These probably won't as I believe egg color is passed thru the roo, not impossible tho. I would sell them/call them mutts

You can still call them EEs, but if it were me, I'd say light brahma crosses.

Genetic makeup of an EE: 50% araucana/ameraucana, and 50% anything else.

Your chick would be 25% araucana/ameraucana, 25% something else, and 50% light brahma.

And EEs can lay 'normal' colored eggs and still be called EEs. It's genetics, not the product, that makes an EE an EE.

I call them Rainbow layers

EE/SLC cross

and some EEs lay pink eggs... I have 6 EEs and from them I get green, blue, pink, and a blueish green-almost white eggs... you never know what color you are going to get!

I like the term "barnyard cross" as opposed to "mutt".

You could get a variation of olive eggers since Brahmas lay brown eggs.
