EES CAN HAVE ANYTHING! THEY ARE HYBRIDS
BECUASE THEY ARE UNPURE! CROSS BRED! They can only have anything cause they are bred with other breeds to make that, were talking blue/green egg layers not cross bred crap that can lay anything due to the other chicken. They are part (whatever chicken) and part EE! Not a pure chicken! If you crossbred Faverolle's they could lay so many different colors, but we Faverolle's are PURE. P.U.R.E

they cant be 'part EE'. its either EE, or not EE

and you didnt put the dot after hte "P.U.R.E"
 
The livestock conservancy list is outdated though...If faverolles were actually threatened, how can multiple hatcheries mass produce them? They once were threatened but have made a comeback, but the LSC hasn't updated that list.
The list is updated yearly. You should see the poultry census they do ... really detailed ... it's pretty cool! There are a several popular "hatchery breeds" on the Conservation Priority List - including Jersey Giants and Delawares.

"Threatened" doesn't mean "on the edge of extinction," It means their numbers are limited. Specifically, the LC describes a "Threatened Breed" as having:

"Fewer than 1,000 annual registrations in the United States and estimated global population less than 5,000."

Five thousand may seem like a lot of chickens - but that's a world-wide number. A single commercial egg- or meat-production farm would hold that many!

So, yes, some hatcheries carry them, but in limited numbers. many people have them as part of their mixed flocks, but don't breed them. "Threatened" means just that - not in imminent danger, but in need of careful, purposeful conservation, so we don't lose them.

If anyone is interested in the parameters for the list, you can find it here:

OH MY GOSH! I AM GETTING TIRED OF THE IDENTICAL THING! ALL. EE. LOOK. THE. SAME. AND. ONLY. LAY. GREEN. EGGS!!!!!!!!!!
Not true at all! :lau 🤷‍♀😂🤣 the first two birds are EE mixes but still. I’ve had 6 different Easter Eggers (4 pure and the 2 mixes) and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. has looked totally different from each other! Two did lay green but different shades (one olive, one greenish blue) and one laid light BLUE. 😜😜

Well if a Faverolles was crossed with something it wouldn't be a Faverolle. Faverolle is a pure breed. An Easter Egger is not a breed. There is no such thing as a "pure" Easter Egger. If you want a pure breed that lays blue eggs you would be talking about: Ameraucanas, Cream Legbars, Araucanas, or something else I am positive I am forgetting at this moment.

I could ask @FuzzyCritters to do some big brain genetics.... but I doubt you want that. ;)

Most hatcheries now have their own established lines and have been breeding EEs to EEs for decades 😉😜

People still make their own first generation crosses but most hatcheries have their own traits and stuff now. Although some do create new types of Easter Eggers every year and call them something different when really they’re all EEs! :barnie
