Still no breed known

[cembry1]

Well I thought this was a Amber Star hybrid , but it has stated laying very small green eggs, any ideas on what this is??

She is an EE.

Easter egger. The eggs will get larger as she gets everything worked out.

Yes she is an easter egger.. and one of the beardless ones that some people like to argue does not exist, ha.

I didn't know people didn't know there were beard less ones .. I only had ones with beards but I agree to she does look like a EE

Easter Egger. @farmer boy - Easter Eggers are mutts, they can be anything.

 

[farmer boy]

well all the ones I saw had beards .. I know they are mutts just never saw one without a beard

Right. However there are still some who seem to regard EE as a breed with specific traits which include beards and either blue or green eggs.

I've gotten into discussion about this before, trying to point out EE are not a breed there fore there is no standard to dictate what an EE should look like. But there are enough people who disagree with this. As far as I can guess it is mainly based on the fact so many current stocks of EE look like ameraucanas in nonstandard colors. A rather recognizable type. I still remember EE from hatcheries from 20 years ago were more variable- lots more beardless ones, things like birds with much longer tails, different sizes (some were leaning towards bantam) etc.

Well, that's the ignorance of some people, Kev

She's very pretty, w/ a beard she'd look like a perfect example of a typical EE.
