From a hatchery? She's pretty.

Wow. I couldn't begin to guess. She has such gorgeous heavenly coloring. Is it possible for an EE to be leucistic? (Funny thing, I googled it and there was a thread here in BYC about leucism, but it wasn't very informative. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/leucism-in-chickens.1151303/ )

I guess she's just blessed to have such pretty coloring.

I hate to admit my ignorance but I have no clue what that even means lol

Easter Eggers are derived from early imports fo the Araucana and early versions of the Ameraucana. Most hatcheries breed Easter Egger to Easter Egger so the coloring and egg colors are pretty uniform. There are about a dozen common Easter Egger color patterns. The one on your pullet seems to be more recent, as I’ve seen many over the past 2 years.

Oh so she’s common to what they’ve been breeding lately? And she originates from the Americauna ? So what color will her eggs be

Leucistic I believe is sort of like albino...a genetic defect in coloring.

She's so pretty!! Maybe green or blue eggs
