Where is a good place to get EE pullet chicks?

I really like my Roy and the ones I sell to my customers are very popular. I get them from the Dunlaps hatchery here in Idaho, they sell them as Aruacana . . . My others came From a hatcehry in Tesxa called Extreme Game Birds, they call the Ameraucana. AND there are a lot of people who sell them right here on BYC!

This chick is 5 weeks old, hatched Halloween, from an olive egg. Mom is EE and dad is a Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock. I think she is beautiful! Black and white penciling, I believe, is starting to show.

Here are a couple more of my EEers ... one lays a nice pale green egg. I get one every day, but never more than one. I have 6 EEers ???? I also get a pinkish egg, and wonder if it is from an EEer.

Has anyone had any luck getting EE's from TSC? They list them as Amerucuana's on there site, but they are most likely EE's right? Also, when you breed EE does the egg coloration tend to go back towards brown i.e. is blue/green eggs a recessive trait?

When I get my first chicks I think I definitely want to try some EE's since they seem like they have so much wonderful variation.

Any hatchery. They sell them as Ameraucanas or Araucanas but they reall are just EEs.

You can see mine on my thread her but I will post them on here too. Most of my EEs are deceased. Most of you probably know why.

This is Bailey my EE hen cross she lays a sky blue egg.

This is Cookie my EE hen. She lays a sky blue egg (deacesed).

This is Comet my EE rooste (deceased).

This is Tootsie EE hen. She lays a sky blue egg (in the front and deceased).

This is Doodle my new EE hen.
I have an Ameraucana too but I guess this is an EE thread only.

I think most of our's here do not have that wisp or if they seem to that it probably came from silkies being crossed in. We have very few "real" Araucana breeders here and none come from hatcheries, which is where most of our EE's come from.
It's great to here from someone so far away, thanks for sharing . . . and WELCOME!!!

She is probably a cross between a silkie and EE.
