EE with brown eggs?

Wrong, EEs and Ameraucanas are completely different breeds. They have similar attributes but they are not related. The only way EEs "have Ameraucana" in them is if they are bred to true Ameraucanas.

I disagree, EE's are mixes and can very well be a mix of Ameraucana!!! PLUS the egg can be blue depending on how much Ameraucana (if any) it has in it.

Well sorry but you are wrong. Look on the OFFICIAL Ameraucana website. Then you will see different. THEY ARE NOT RELATED.

Then someone has OUR Ameraucana thread here mixed up.

Can you provide this "official" site for me please.
This is from BYC's breed chart about EE's:
The Easter Egger is not really a breed. They are relationed to the breeds Ameraucanas and Araucanas, then bred with many different breeds so they no longer fit either breed's standards

I have three EEs and every day I get one blue egg, one olive egg, and one light brown egg. One of the girls has a tiny pea comb, one has a single serrated comb, and one has a big weird flat unserrated com that flops into her eyes sometimes. They are mutts, that's why they're so lovable!

This is right from Ameraucana.org

Perhaps 99 percent of chickens sold as Araucanas (or Ameraucanas) by commercial hatcheries are actually mongrels (aka Easter Egg chickens), meeting the requirements of neither breed.

Mongrels being mixes, generally of Ameraucana.

What are Easter Egg chickens?

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.

This denotes to ME that EE's are mixes, possibly of Ameraucana, but perhaps not always.

Even if your Easter Egger has a lot of Ameraucana in them they must breed true at least 50% of the time.

That also WOULD indicate that EE's have Ameraucana in them.

It doesn't SPECIFICALLY say that EE's are separate BREEDS it states that an EE is a MIX of breeds (mongrel) who doesn't conform to the Ameraucana standard.



The person whom I quoted from OUR Ameraucana thread was the very first post on that page. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=128806​

I beg to differ.
