What breeds are my EE?

[ButtonquailGirl14]

Hello! I was curious what my EE is mixed with... She is obviously an Ameraucana X, but the question is who her other parent was? I have a friend asking, because they would like one with her gorgeous colors!!! Normally I would be able to figure this out, but she has me stumped...she is from a feed store, and lays blue eggs and blue eggs with turquoise speckles sometimes.. here she is!

Sorry, I'll get some better pictures... These are just the ones on my tablet... I also have pictures of her as a chick! Her name is Nutmeg!

She almost looks to me like a blue laced Wyandotte X Wheaten Ameraucana... But I could be way off.

Maybe golden laced Wyandotte?

maybe, but where would the red come from? The blue could have come from a blue Ameraucana, but the red coloring is what makes me think she must have had a parent with red.

We can always generalize haha!

I'm not sure what that means you mean just say a Wyandotte cross?

Most 'store bought' EE are the result of EE X EE matings with the many resultant color patterns that they throw. EE X brown egg layer or Ameuaucana X brown egg layer would most likely produce olive eggers. Here's a project for you - raise some chicks from her eggs and then breed one of her sons back to her. You can start your own pretty line.

This.

Hatchery EEs aren't Ameraucana crosses.....though many sources probably claim so because of the common traits, such as beard/muffs, pea combs, colored eggs, ect.. Rather, the Ameraucana breed was derived from EEs.
