Hmmm, if actually possible, it might help explain the "who laid THIS egg" thing we sometimes have. About the same light brown color one of the Faverolles lays but WAY too big. One EE lays blue though there is sometimes enough green that it is hard to tell it is hers. The other lays green but with the opposite issue of the blue layer. Sometimes need really good day light to tell them apart if they aren't clearly blue or green.
The girls that land on me are my Anconas. You get used to hearing the "flap flap" just before they land. They have only landed on my shoulder or arm. I ended up with both on my left arm Sunday after extending it so the one than landed on my shoulder would back away from my face. "flap, flap," the other landed on my arm. Tough to get work done when they "help"
Neither is Ideal Poultry, in fact they may be worse as they don't use an alternate spelling. After getting my girls in June and then following BYC, where people said the hatcheries do not sell true Ameraucana even though they say they do, I sent I.P. an email asking if they were true Ameraucana (as their breed selection says) or EEs. The reply said they were Ameraucana because there is no EE breed. They are EEs and very nice birds, good layers too. Good thing I wasn't all set on pure bred Ameraucanas (or even knew about the whole Ameraucana/EE thing when I ordered), just wanted blue or green eggs. This is their description of the "Ameraucana" breed they sell: Ameraucanas, known as the "Easter Egg Breed", are a multicolored breed.
OK, just looked at the MM site. They are "equally" worse
