EE that lays white eggs?!?!?!? Pic Heavy!

OH and the hen looks like she has NO cheek puff at all so go with what the other people say, shes not an EE

EEs can also be clean faced. I simply meant that in the baby pictures, all of them appear to have muffs.

I would say production red....if her eggs were brown.

She's not an EE. Not because she has no muffs alone, but that, the fact her color isn't a typical one, body type is off for an EE, yellow legs, white earlobes, tinted-white eggs.... not an EE.

Whatever she is, she's a mix. She's not pure anything and if she is, she's extremely poor quality... to the point of being large unrecognizable. My vote is a leghorn mix.

The rooster is an EE, and yes, she's a hatchery quality RIR.

I agree with her ^

Here we go again.

"Easter Eggers" are not a recognized breed and can be all different shapes and colors. You can not say that chicken doesn't look like a "typical Easter Egger," because there is no such thing as a "typical Easter Egger."

An "Easter Egger" may look like an Araucana or an Ameraucana or something else.

"The Ameraucana Breeders Club defines an Easter Egg chicken or Easter Egger as any chicken that possesses the blue egg gene, but doesn’t fully meet any breed descriptions as defined in the APA and/or ABA standards. Further, even if a bird meets an Ameraucana standard breed description, but doesn’t meet a variety description or breed true at least 50% of the time it is considered an Easter Egg chicken."

Im confused. All four of those babies look like they have muffs, and the juvies are not coming in red...which juvie is her? And the golden colored juvie in the center, I thought that was a female color for EEs? How old were they in that shot?

Anyway, she is pretty.

She is the red one in the front of the picture, you can actually see her face. The other red one behind her is one of the rooster. They were about 12 weeks old in the picture.

My EE lays off white as well, not all EE lay green, that and she could be an RIR, your rooster RIR though has some really puffy cheeks for an RIR.

The picture of that rooster isn't an RIR, he is one that I got with my hen and was also supposed to be an "Ameraucana" but I know now that he was an EE. He isn't alive anymore. Here is that same picture of him but zoomed in his face. You can see his comb and his beard. In the zoomed out picture you can see his green legs.



Here is a picture of the yellow rooster bigger. He also had a beard, a rose comb? and green legs.

I have Brown Leghorns, and this doesn't look like an exact match to me. I would bet that she is a Leghorn/Ameraucana cross though. Some Ameraucanas lay pale brownish eggs, even pink eggs. Their eggs are generally smaller than Leghorns as well, so if it's a light colored, nice sized egg, and she's a small bird with white lobes, it's a good guess there's Leghorn mixed in. Still technically an EE though if she carries the green egg gene.

I'm agreeing with you. Definitely some brown leghorn in her, but definitely something else. That would expain her feather color and the pale pink but large egg that she lays. Her legs are yellow though. Here is the picture of the Red EE Roo, she is the chicken in the picture with him and you can see her legs plain as day. You can also see her legs in the first picture of her that I put on the first page, but this picture shows how yellow they are, especially compared to the EE Roo.
