Cool thread! These are my 5.5 month old EE's (Ameraucana with RIR's, or mixed breeds):


My favorite here is Lightning(a month or so ago):

She's the only one who I don't know the mother of. I was carefully monitoring which hen laid which egg, but hers I couldn't tell for sure who's it was. Could have been one of the RIR, but her coloring tells me otherwise.

my sapphire jewel is a Meyer hybrid. They don't say what's in the mix but it seems pretty obvious she's a white leghorn/ameraucana mix. She's a fantastic layer of large blue eggs.

This animate muppet is a Lisa Steele Cookies and Cream hybrid also from Meyer. She has feathered feet, five toes, and we have to trim her crest feathers every so often so she can see where everyone went (the first time we trimmed her floor she immediately ran into a ladder when we released her).

This is my olive egger. Based on her color, lack of feathered legs, and crest I'm confident she's a cream legbar/welsummer cross.

I did some experimental breeding with my mixed flock last spring and got these beauties.

Blue CM roo over a legbar based OE (hence the crest).

Blue CM roo over light brahma.

Black JG over EE hen. He has a sister that is the same color, minus the darker male feathering.

Blue CM roo over dark brahma hen, a pair of sisters. Black one is my favorite but both lay a nice big egg with a heavy bloom that makes them look purple/plum.

Also have a pair of these sisters, blue copper maran roo over a mutt hen that is both barred and laced, so they were sex linked and I could tell right away I had 2M and 2F. Will be hatching more from that hen to see what else she can give me.

And my first 3rd generation bird. Grandpa was a black JG, grandma a SLW. Dad was the son of the two, mom was a Cornish cross. He will (hopefully) have many children.

I've also got a pair of bresse x blue copper maran sisters (older photos).

And their brother who is no longer with us (spoilers he went into the cooler in the background)

And finally possibly my prettiest pair of sisters (though these are old photos). Silver and Goldie who both lay olive colored eggs! Mom is a mutt who looks like Goldie with a little less patterning, dad is a blue copper maran. Hoping to get more like Silver this spring.

Plus a little brother to the above sisters. He won't be staying too much longer.

The barred rocks are just that, not crossed with anything, but the rest of these are the offspring of a Wheaten Ameraucana rooster and Red Star hens (aka ISA browns, Golden Comets? I don't know if all of those are interchangeable. Regardless, a commercial brown hybrid). I don't know the actual parentage of the Red Stars but they are fantastic producers of XL brown eggs so the goal here was to get productive EEs. It was interesting to see the white show up after skipping a generation. Eagerly awaiting the first eggs.
