Thank you for sharing! The white chickens are Easter Eggers? I have 2 that look like the yellow hen on the very right, and one that looks like the darker hen in the back in the middle... did they lay your tan eggs?

You should post pics of your EE's and tell us what color they lay when they start laying!

Your pumpkin looks like one of my girls and I certainly describe my other two as blonder... so there's hope! I will certainly share when they do.

Yes the large white hens are easter eggers. They have some leghorn (father) in their background which contibutes to the white coloring and yellow legs. They are considered EE and not your typical barnyard mix because they carry the blue egg gene from their EE mom. They started laying at 16 weeks and are now 11 months and rarely miss a day. Fantastic birds! I hatched out an olive egger roo and plan to hatch out some crosses of these birds in the spring.

We have a variety of breeds in our new flock with three of them being easter eggers. We're anxious to find out what color eggs they'll lay. They're only 6 1/2 weeks old so we have a ways to go. They were sold to me by a hatchery as Ameraucanas, but I'd already done my research and knew I was getting Easter Eggers... so I was fine with the mislabelling. I have to say, they are my favorites... Sooooo sweet!

The thing is, they vary in color so we're making a game out of trying to guess what color eggs they'll lay... fingers crossed for greens or blues. We're wondering if their look has anything to do with their egg color. I was wondering if people would be willing to post pictures of their hens and what color egg they lay?

I realize there's no science to what I'm asking... it's all in fun.

Thanks!

3 easter eggers, 3 golden laced wynadottes, 2 buff orpingtons, 2 Black stars, 2 Barred rocks, 3 mini aussie and 2 cats. ♡

No, it does not.....you have to wait!

@eleaserek Your girls are SOOOOO cute! I've never heard of a fairy egg, I learn something new everyday on this site! This is a pic of my girls at 4 weeks old (they're 7 weeks now) but this is the last pics I have of just the 3 of them.... This picture below is at 6 weeks but it's all the girls.

Aw! They are SO CUTE!!!! Beautiful chicks!!!!

I thought I had Easter's but they don't lay colored eggs. They are light brown. I have a blond and black in color. Sorry for the bad pics. They are both on the skidish side.

Wow, I would be aggravated too, if all my girls were 7 months old and not laying. Just wondering if something could be taking eggs? Are your bantams in the same coop, using the same nest boxes? What other kinds of standard girls do you have?

Both pens have a mix of bantam and standard. The pen with the Cochin bantams and most of the OEGB also has two Sicilian Buttercups and one Welsummer. The big pen has d'Uccles, and a few random bantams with three EE pullets and a cockrel, and one Welsummer.
The ones we know are laying are:
1 d'Uccle out of 4
3 OEGB out of 6
2 Cochins out of 5
1 bantam rosecomb
We got six bantam eggs today (rosecomb is sitting on 12 eggs)
So, 7 out of 13 bantams are laying as of three days ago and none of the 7 standards. I also sold 5 standard hens to a friend and they aren't laying yet either. Two Anconas, Two Cochin, one red production bird from the same hatches.

We love our Easter Eggers! We have four that are laying, and of those four, three lay a beautiful greenish-blue egg, and one lays a brown egg. We also have 4 more EE pullets that are 6-7 weeks old, and obviously aren't laying yet. It's really interesting how different the greenish-blue eggs of the EEs are from the greenish-yellow/greenish-brown eggs of our olive eggers.
