How long after their faces turn red?!

. 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!

I can tell you from experience that since she isn't the same mix as a typical we, it's possibly less likely she will lay the colors you want. My own birds with the we Australorp all ended up laying olive or brown eggs.

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!

They are know for being great roosters. I adore mine for sure.

There was no need to get defensive; I’m not very familiar with different chicken breeds.

I hope I wasn't defensive/aggressive! That wasn't my intention at all, and that's also why I put "defend" in quotations! I couldn't come up with a better word to explain it. I'm far from an expert too - and if I'm being honest, I was feeling slightly attacked for "believing" that she's an EE. . No harm no foul, what's the point of forums like this if it's not for us to learn!

The egg carton that I posted a picture of earlier is of eggs laid by the same mix of birds... So I'm cautiously optimistic. But also not confident, which definitely adds to the "anxiety" of the waiting period
