To get back on the right track here are a couple of my EEs.

Again whos to say she's is right and Wikipedia or other articles wrong?

My last statement about this, who's to say that wikipedia and you are right?

Ok now that is done and over with. Can we just go back to admiring EEs now?

I didn't say that Wikipedia or me are right, but when you come with nonsense statements like"EE's have no colors" then it makes me doubt that the IFO you have is right.

Such pretty EE's I especailly love the really light one w/ the grey head

I am no expert but of the two you think are boys the one in the back on the first pic that is mostly red doesn't look much like a boy to me

I like the blues you have in some of the coloring.

That is what she looks like she is thinking!!!

Oh and the girl that is fluffed out looks like she needs to cut back a little on the "mary jane"!!!

What I meant by that was that since they are not a recognized breed they technically do not have recognized colors.... I didn't think anyone would take offense to that....

The "typical EEs that you see comming (sic) out of hatcheries" are the original Ameraucanas which were bred from the Quechua. They were called the "World's Fair Quechua" aka "Ameraucana" back in the '30s. They are still, for the most part, the "typical EEs that you see comming (sic) out of hatcheries." Other breeds are mixed in here and there, but with much more strict care and control than the backyardigan crowd crossing them with Buff Orpingtons.

BTW, "Whisperer" is spelled...well, "Whisperer"...with an "h".

Sorry, but from what I've gathered (both in research and from conversations here in BYC) EE stock in hatcheries is more closely related to the Quechua. The hatcheries didn't create the Ameraucana - the Ameraucana bantam was accepted in 1980, created by breeders. The EEs were never included in the standard.

The hatcheries are crossing them with more strict personal guidelines, but they are still crossed with other breeds - making them mutt EEs.

Yes, I'm highly aware that whisperer has a h in it. I'll explain this to everyone, I left out the h so that I could have the username.
