Not the best picture, I know, but this is Amelia, an EE (hopefully) pullet. 3 months old.

She looks like my hatchery EE girls. It's very good camo color if you free range your birds. I can't tell you the times I've gone out and not seen an EE sitting in a hole dust bathing.

Yes she is a pullet

Wheeee!! Si just laid her first egg. Pale blue, but it was so fragile that it broke when I picked it up.

BTW... She is 28 weeks old.

My Sylvia is the smartest hen.

What exactly is an EE? I have 1, and I'd like to get more. What breeds does one mix to get EEs?

basically any blue or blue green layer of mixed breeding. Some will not lay colored eggs. What most feed and farm stores sell as Americana are EE. Since you have 1 anything you breed it to will give you more. Better chances of blue eggs if you stay with EE but use what you can find.

Quote: I have a welsummer rooster; he mates the EE hen. I also have blue ameraucanas *real ones, not EEs*. They're supposed to all be hens, but so was that welsummer. Do cross-bred ameraucanas make EEs?
