I have a few EE/leghorn chicks, and I'm hoping one of the two younger chicks is a pullet. I have an older chick, about 2 months old, that is a roo. They are creamy white with a few black feathers.

, but I'll put up pics when he looks better!
Mocha and Cocoa are growing up!!!

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.
Will that Leghorns cross improve size and production too? Got to try that one!!!! More project birds... will it ever end????

Yes... and if you keep breeding to leghorns(using Pea comb birds) you will have Super Egg Layers Blue eggers...

Here are couple of pics I took yesterday of my EE roo Oreo, posing as a NN. His beard feathers are trying to grow back, but his ladies seem to prefer a clean cut guy.
