We lost our beautiful blue-egg layer a few nights ago, and this morning my "olive egger" let us know that she's actually an EE! As my friend pointed out, "it's a real life Lion King circle of life over here." In indoor light: In sunlight:

All EE's are mixes! That's the definition of the "breed", and the reason that EE's aren't technically a breed. You could, theoretically, get any color of Easter Egger, as long as at least one copy of a blue egg gene is floating around.

We said goodbye to our EE, Waffles, two nights ago. She was a sassy lady who laid beautiful blue eggs, and she is missed.

Cute!!! Chuck (technically an OE, though she hasn't started paying rent yet) is ALWAYS up in everyone's bizness. She follows me everywhere, and is always sneaking treats from under the top hens' feet. She just doesn't have any boundaries. I'm not sure if this link will work... But here she is...

She is! Even with her goofy crooked face and beak, she's pretty and SUPER sweet.

my Chuck was pale yellow as a chick. She's wheaten Am x red star.

My olive Egger's name is Charlie Brown!

Mine hatched mid-May so you should be okay.

They're late starters, but mine hit POL right in the middle of winter, so I think she started extra late. They say that the later a bird starts laying, the longer it will lay dependably, so I just count on that :)

My Wellie made me wait 8 and a half months!

They're beautiful!

Did you name them all Guiness and Harp? :lau

SO PRETTY!!!!

My cat has gotten cornered a few times, herself! Suits her right for trying to nap in the nesting boxes.

Yep! Waffles has a clean face and neck.

I do, but I've started keeping a separate tray in the bucket (with bran in it) where I place any pupae or beetles that I find. I did that for several weeks in preparation for a clean out, so I know most of the eggs were in the separate, fresh bin. When I feed the chickens, I just scoop out a...

They're really easy! A bucket (I use a 15 gallon storage bin), some wheat bran, and a few veggies every few days is all they need. Clean out every few months and you're good to go. You'll save SO MUCH money over buying them all the time. There's a great thread in the forums for tips on...

Those combs look close! It's also winter, so they might wait until the days start getting a little longer (yay for the solstice!). My EE started at 31 weeks, and has given us 7 eggs in the 9 days since she started (2 days on, one day off). Not too shabby!

They're all beautiful! I really love Duffy's coloring. I don't think you can go wrong, whoever you pick to breed!

she looks just like my olive egger!!!
