I've been enjoying reading all the posts and I'm really learning a lot For example when I got my chicks the lady told me they were "dominiquers". Whch I later learned was dominiques. But I don't know why some chickens are called EE. Can someone tell me what that means?

Here's a good write up for you. Kudos to MPC for finally telling the truth about this issue. It's what hatcheries often sell as "Ameraucanas/Araucanas" but are really a hybrid/crossbreed.

Thanks! I thought EE were chickens that no one knew what they were - chickens people got as chicks for Easter and then didn't know what to do with.
