I have two Easter Eggers, and they are fantastic! I've always had a soft spot for "mutts", and these guys have all the best attributes of a mixed breed.
As with any chicken, there is a lot of difference depending on the individual. My one EE, Camilla is pretty much a lap chicken. She loves people, loves being petted, and loves to get up into your business to check out what you're doing. The other one, Log (a name my daughter came up with), is maybe a little more shy, but still very tame and friendly.
They are both great layers, each giving us a pretty green egg nearly every day. While we were hoping to get one green layer and one blue layer, there's really no way to guarantee that, so we got what we got. We're happy.
They get the egg song out of their system quickly, and are otherwise very quiet birds, which is nice for my neighbors. Also my son, who is 4 and a little more timid around animals, loves the EEs the best!
