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.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. ♡
Those are EE's, they don't all lay blue/green eggs.I thought I had Easter's but they don't lay colored eggs. They are light brown.

Sometimes the blue shell gene doesn't pass down.
Where did you get them?
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?We have three EE girls that are varying shades of rust. One has a big, full, black beard and muffs. They are 7 months old (as are all of my big hens). No one had laid a single egg. Not one. We have about eight bantams laying so far, but I have started calling the standard hens free loaders.
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.Wow, I would be aggravated too, if all my girls were 7 months old and not laying.
