Hey guys. Out of curiosity, does anyone have any guesses on the possible crosses that made up my Easter Egger?
Cross of Blue Ameraucana and what else? Or,
Lavender Orpington and what else?
Or, any other ideas?
I know EE’s are a result of any chicken breed with Ameraucana or Araucana.
Any possible guesses are welcomed! Thank you

Easter eggers were here long before Ameraucanas and were developed during the same time period as Araucanas, a long time age, from blue egg laying stock from South America crossed with layer breeds like Leghorns and Rhode Island reds. It's true that some crossing still goes on, but there are no specific crosses to make Easter eggers. They come in just about every color, and can lay eggs of just about any color except probably dark brown. So it would be difficult to guess if any breed was mixed in and even more so to determine which one.

Now, with olive eggers, there are specific crosses to get those dark olive eggs. Cream legbars, Easter eggers and Ameraucanas are crossed with dark brown layers like Welsummer and Marans.
