The EE braggers thread!!!

[Reinbeau]

I've got no problem with someone calling them mutts, heck, I'm a mutt, or as I've called myself, a Heinz - 57 varieties

After all, folks, they're chickens, they lay lovely eggs, and they're adorable, doesn't matter what we call them.

Not all EEs are a crossed bird. A lot are pure Ameraucanas that are not "standard color". My birds are pure Ameraucanas but arent of the 5 color varieties so I must call them EEs. None the less I am more proud to have an EE then an Amer. (less rules to obey), but please lets stay on topic so this post doesnt get locked. This is to post pictures and talk about our EEs (for those that have them, we know what they are) and not to have a discussion about what is what.

Arizona, I may have to order EE chicks from MPC next time. I like their color variations. Thanks for the additional pics!

Good conversation...back to pics:

this is a little guy I have been on the fence about keeping. He is out of a BLRW roo and Wilma my EE/Cochin hen

This is snowey and falcon

This is my the look I have nailed down pretty well, as I paste this I am watching tv with the Grandmom, Lisalynn, who is so wonderful

Here is a pic of a full brother to top roo, blr lacing has improved a lot since this pic.I think BLR coloring on EE's would be really cool.

Someone asked if any other chickens have green legs. I have a BO/Dominique with green legs. I am putting her in with an EE roo since she turned out looking so much like an EE. Black and gold coloring and green legs.

Here she is as a baby.

Here is one of my newest.....just love that beard!

Wanted to add her sister.....same roo dad.

This is another one of my girls. No beard or muffs but her coloring is gorgeous!

They're lovely gals, ShiningFeather

These are 2 more of my EEs....

I call this little gal "miss goldie thing" since she has no real name.

She was an Ideal chick

Our BA hen wouldn't adopt this EE along with some other Ideal chicks last season, so DH named her Orphan Annie

Here's a pic of some eggs for color comparison. True Ameraucana eggs(left), BA egg (center) green EE eggs (right)
ETA: sitting on a black/white kitchen towel, white measuring cup for contrast

Beautiful girls. That is a great way to show the egg color. I have found it is really hard to show true color.
