I know it is probably obvious to everyone else, but what are EE's? Thanks in advance for any responses....Bob P., N.E. FLA

EE's are Easter Eggers.
The colored egg layers for those that want blue or green eggs.
Sometimes called americana (sp)

EE's are Easter Eggers, chickens who have the ability to lay blue-green eggs, and who's feathers come in every coloration possible.

They can lay pretty much any color egg

EEs are NOT Ameraucanas, however. EEs are a mix of any breed, and may be half Ameraucana, but are NOT Ameraucana. They are NOT Araucana, either.

If you go to the Americauna breeders club it says the same thing.

The actual breed is spelled Ameraucana, not Americana.

Two standardized breeds of blue egg layers are the Araucana and the Ameraucana, while the Easter Egger is a mutt that has no standardization. It can have any color feathers, any comb, lay blue/green/brown/etc. eggs, any leg color. No hatchery actually sells Araucanas or Ameraucanas, they only sell Easter Eggers under false names.
