I also know what the breed club say's a EE is but hatchery and backyard EE's are a whole another ball of wax.
90% of the EE's that are out there can and will have about anything crossed into them.

This is so true.

In my eyes a "EE" should have a parent or a grandparent being a Araucana or Ameraucana.

ME, TOOOOOOOO!!!!! Did you see my thread where people kept insisting my mystery bird was an EE? So annoying, really. White legs, single comb, no beard.... Exactly what about that says EE to anyone?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Maybe they thing EE means Extraordinary Egglayer? Drives me nuts, too, for example, "any bird with green legs is an EE." To me an F1 cross to an ameraucana or araucana is an ameraucanaX or araucanaX and preferably naming the other breed as well, F2s are when you start getting into EEs.

To me EE means a chicken that carries the blue/green egg gene but is not 100% Araucana or Ameraucana. leg color, comb type beard or whatever doesn't matter but must have the gene for colored eggs
