What Easter Egger Color is this? How can I make a similar color?

[rascal66]

Hello!
Last summer I had the opportunity to buy a few chicks from my local Wilco farm store. 2 were Easter Eggers (gosh I love this breed).

So, I'm very curious on what color she is? I find blue/gold or copper colors to be top notch! If I could replicate the color, I would in a heart beat! Unfortunately, my current rooster is a Light Brahma so this might be a future project for me when I get an EE roo or something.

But that's just it! What color Rooster or hens get this awesome color??? Completely Blue EE (or Ameracauna) Roos or hens and cross it with your typical brown layer? (Like welsummer or brown leg horn?) I would love to learn about color genetics some more and what breeds does one typically cross with Ameracaunas to get such gorgeous EEs?

We need more Blue Copper EEs! (With awesome fuzzy beards!!!!)

I have an EE who looks very similar A blue copperish.
Judging by her egg color, I suspect she is a Blue Ameraucana stag x Brown Leghorn dam

Leaky blue.
Likely a red bird crossed with a blue or splash one.
You could get this from a RIR crossed with a blue or splash Ameraucana, certainly.

I have one just like her! One of my absolute faves! She lays pretty blue eggs!

my current EEs not sure which ones are laying for sure?? 1 laying green egg and others 2 or so of (6 total) laying peach colored eggs and 1 of those 2 gave me 1 confirmed double yolker and 1 more probable today!!! 2 of the 6 are similar color to op’s.

Yea, she lays your typical EE Blue colored egg. Id really like to think those two colors make these beauties

Probably a Leghorn cross would make something similar then.

I wouldn't have thought of RIR... But this is good. Assuming red crossing with blue gives a coppery color? Thanks! Can't wait to experiment when the time comes.

Now I'm eager to get blue roos in the future!

Also, can I post pictures that I found on the internet? I found this gorgeous orange and blue roo I'd love to show and guess what made him
