They do have colors and they sometimes come in recognized colors not 100% right but pretty close, but then again even breeders have that problem with their chickens sometimes, only difference is that they will not breed true to that color. But again EE's sometimes do comes in recognized colors.

They technically do not come in recognized colors since they are not an APA/Standard breed.

So you're telling me that if I get a black EE out of my EE's I cannot call it a black EE because it is not a recognized breed?

What breed were the sneaky romantic roosters? That will make all the difference in the answer to your question. They will most likely lay a green egg unless the roo carried the gene for blue eggs. If a REALLY dark brown layer, like a Marans, Penedesenca or Welsummer you may get olive green eggs. There is no 100% rule with mixes, but I'd put my money on green.

You can I was just making a point about being recognized colors.

Silver Pencil Plymouth Rock and a Dorking

They all got out and co-mingled.

SPPR's lay a light brown/tan egg. Don't know about the dorking.

YEah and there for your statement is wrong as EE's SOMETIMES DO come in recognized colors, but like I said again they DO NOT breed tru to them, and that's what makes them different from Amaraucanas.

No my statement is correct and there are many other ways that EEs and Ameraucanas are different. They aren't even related.

I thought Ameraucanas came out of the EE? Way back or something. I thought I read that.

I have a blue EE, she looks just like an Ameraucana, but she is an EE, she lays olive eggs.

No. They both carry the blue egg gene but they are not related breeds.

Oh, someone posted on BYC that they came out of the same line. I guess you cannot believe everything you read.

Also you can ask Illia about it too. He can go into greater detail about than I can.
