thanks! Its All Good.
We saw the EE dating the rooster, and took the next day's egg, put it under a broody who ADORED raising her chick! It's the friendly disposition we were hoping to hatch, both the hen and roo are great pets, very loving and fun. So far, so good, she's as sociable and happy going as her parents! Even though her brood nanny is skittish, this one's very calm and sociable!
Thank you for your input!

Love all the pics! Love the variety of colors in the EE! No rules to follow.
Can I butt in and ask about egg colors?
Most of my girls(Meyers) lay lt to med olive eggs, 1 lays pink and 1 lays pale blue. THen I saw the PurelyPoultry listing for EE : a whole carton of pastel blue-green eggs! No Olives. Am I the only one with so many olive colored eggs? Or do I have a typical mix??
Last question: AMeracauna rooster x leghorn hen = ? Still an Easter Egger?
Maybe everyone can post egg pics, too!

Yes, Ameraucana x anything else = Easter Egger, however Leghorns will keep the blue color
You have a typical mix though. Most EE's out there lay more green and olive type eggs than blue. If you want a good reliable blue, go for Ameraucanas, Araucanas, or specifically blue bred Easter Eggers. The last pullet I posted is an EE who will lay a gauranteed blue egg. Her mother lays a very, very rich blue and her father carries white genes.

My girls are all from Myers too, and I mostly get various shades of olive light to med, but I have a couple of pale blue and one pink.
