Will they be EE's?

[Chickhick]

I have some EEs, and I also have a dozen real Ameraucana eggs on order. I'm thinking of breeding a real Ameraucana with a Welsummer to increase the variety of egg colors produced when the chicks then grow up to lay their own eggs, and also maybe breeding to a Sussex because I just love their curious personalities. Would these crossed chicks be considered EEs?

Yes, they would be Easter Eggers, mutts, or both.

What about my EEs crossed with my PR rooster. Are they still considered EEs or something else.

Still EEs. An EE is a crossbred or even any chicken that has blue egg genetics somewhere but does not qualify as an Araucana or Ameraucana.

- Although some EEs lay brown eggs, but still have other traits of Ameraucana somewhere in there.

So, I have these green eggs from my EE that were fertilized by my PR rooster. Any idea what color eggs the offspring (if hens of course) would lay?

They will lay brown eggs or olive green eggs.
