Is that a welsummer in the background?(typical me looking past the obvious center of attention and all I can pay attention to is a chicken in the background)

Yes, she is a purebred Welsummer pullet named Summer. The rooster in the background is a Cochin named Tuffy.
 
An Easter Egger is a hybrid, multi-color (but typically blue or green) egg layer. They lay better than other purebred blue egg layers, I believe. I'd personally probably classify them as their own breed, but they're not known to that one poultry/chicken association; they come in all sorts of colors, have pea combs, and are a little smaller than your average-sized bird (Barred Rock, for example, I suppose). They're quite cheap and you could probably find them lots of places where chicks are often sold. :) Hope that helps a little!
Now am thinking what I thought was my araucuna actually is an EE.

We want to hear from you! Tell me what you think should be in the votes. I think all of you did amazing with your pretty poultry! You may have two votes. Tell us what they are and the most popular and prized one will be the winner. Good luck! - Mary
