I was told EEs can have beards and be any mix hatched from a blue egg .auracana and Americana don't have beards. I don't know if it is correct yet though

I'm sure mine isn't a pedigree, but that's okay. I just noticed that you live in Gibson Co.-- not too far from Vanderburgh.

Beats me. I think I have it figured out and then find out I don't. I bought the blue hen and black roo from someone who breeds to sop. She said these probably wouldn't be show quality but they laid sky blue eggs and that's what she was going for at the time. I'm a hobbyist. I'm not going to get bent out of shape over it. I think my EE is prettier than both of them.

Just found this
For Bantam birds: The Araucana bantam has a pea comb and they have the distinction of laying Turquoise or blue shelled eggs. There is close genetic Linkage between those two traits so that selection for pea comb is effective in maintaining blue Egg. One classes of Araucana bantams is recognized

Disquailifications: Absence of one or both ear tufts - Rudimentary tail - Eggs other than blue - Presence of beard - specimen with beard and/or muffs, white skin. ~~Araucana Club of America

And this

For Standard sized birds: The standard Araucana are rumpless and have tufts of feathers protruding from each side of the head/neck. The Araucana also has a pea comb and they have the distinction of laying Turquoise or blue shelled eggs. There is close genetic Linkage between those two traits so that selection for pea comb is effective in maintaining blue Egg.

Disqualifications: Lack of ear-tufts, comb other than Pea, Rudimentary presence of tail, Stubs or feather on their shank, or more or less than four toes, white skin.

I have a question I have chicks that are 4 1/2 weeks old and chicks that are a week and a half can I put them together? I have them in two different boxes I am out of room.
