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.

thanks! I don't think I'll be breeding her in the near future, as I don't have an incubator, and my Mom isn't as "Big on Chickens" as I am, and first I'll be focused on my show Phoenix Chickens... But maybe after that, I'll have the time!

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.

I kinda figured... But they are from a small local feed store, so the chicks were from private breeders in the area.

Very nice.

You're more than welcome! Ah....well, at least she makes up for it in looks.

She doesn't have just 2 pure bred parents. her parents are crossed with other breeds, and their parents may be also. There really isn't any way to tell.
If your friend wants one like her, maybe fish out a pic of her as a chick, and tell your friend to try and pick out some that look similar. That way maybe there's a chance of getting the same color pattern.
