How long after their faces turn red?!

I guess I’m so confused bc the bird pictured does not look like an EE to me. It just looks like a regular austrolorp

It isn't full Australorp I don't believe at least. If you look by the ear, there is some brown coloring which isn't typical of them. Though I could be wrong.

Fair enough, if that's what you see - but I'm 100% confident because my Ameraucana was my only roo at the time. She also has extra brown colouring, and a pea comb ☺

Never heard of such a thing.

Here's my thread from a while back while figuring it all out... I know it's going to result in people saying that he was only an EE, because of the colour mixing... And that's totally fine! I'm just agreeing to disagree and still calling him an Ameraucana . Either way, he was most definitely a blue gene carrier. (we lost him this summer and I'm still ).

She's also got a pea comb - I'll see if I can find a better pic.

I saw it. All my Austra's have regular combs and all my ees have the peacomb, same with my two ee Austra mixes. I call them my Austra eggers

Ok. I thought an easter egger was the result of mixing a blue egg layer with a brown egg layer?

Ameraucanas lay blue. Australorps lay brown.

She’s got gold on her neck and a pea comb.
Guys, it’s an EE.

. I was genuinely running out of ways to explain it!! And may or may not have been starting to question my sanity!

I'm used to the EE vs Ameraucana disagreement with regards to my roo (and honestly, I get it - I know the colour mixing technically made him an EE). But I've never had to "defend" his offspring before!

He is really beautiful by the way. He does look a lot like my roo too, though I've never had Americana before so I wouldn't know that one XD

He was the best . Such a pretty boy. I miss him; but don't particularly miss his DQs . I have splash Ameraucanas roos now, and they're more "true" to breed standard, but they're definitely not as funky!
