Oh, yes, I agree absolutely that Easter-eggers are a mish-mash of genes, anything goes, no definite absolute appearance. After all, didn't someone post single-combed, naked-necked, bearded, wattled, dark skinned Easter-eggers not too long ago? However, I also agree that one can expect particular...

If it helps, my EE Endymion is from Meyer Hatchery and she looked pretty similar. Her legs were pale and they darkened as she grew, but she definitely had a beard from day one, though it's hard to tell in pictures because of her patterning. Her legs are very green now: Meyer also has...

Haha, yeah, she's a little bit crazy anyway, so no big surprise that she picked a strange spot to lay her egg. :lol: It's probably partly my fault as well, because no one was laying except my Silkies, who always lay their eggs on the floor, so I haven't gotten the nests back in the coop since I...

Endymion FINALLY laid her first egg today! :celebrate And it's absolutely gorgeous!! Unfortunately, she flew up onto one of the hutches and laid it off the edge, so it's broken open on one end. :rolleyes:

It's been a very long time since I posted here, but I just had to share how the Easter-egger pullet I got this year turned out! :D Her name is Endymion. This is her as a chick: I loved how she had this almost heart-shaped pattern on her head: And now, such a looker! :love I also...

Seems like it's been rather quiet here lately! I got out and took some pictures of the flock the other day, and thought I'd share the ones of my Easter-egger girls here. :) They all turned out to be beard shots, but oh, well. :lol: Merlin: Betty Beard: Wynne: And these two are...

Yup, beyond a doubt. Handsome fellow!

Hehe, I have a black-bearded Easter-egger, too, but her name is Maggie. :D (And don't you forget it--she always has such a hateful look on her face! :hide ) Andreanar, that black beard in contrast to the rest of those brown feathers is quite striking, though! Looks like she dunked her face...

She's actually from a nearby Amish farm, but I don't know where they get their stock, so she might be from Cackle lines. :) I don't remember for sure, but it may have been me that posted about your bird! Betty's got to be my favorite out of my Easter-eggers, so floofy and cuddly! :love

My beautiful Betty is looking fabulous after her molt! Her beard is so glorious, I just had to share! :) I love this beard! :love

What about Elliot? I can't think of a similar name to Mae. :lol: As for your olive egger, I'll try to explain as best I can. The gene that causes eggs to have blue shells is dominant, and so even if a hen is carrying just one allele for blue shells, she will lay blue shelled eggs. If this hen...

There's no need to go check on this one. I can tell you absolutely that this is a boy. Laying hens do not grow pointed saddle feathers. He is a handsome fellow, but an egg layer he will never be. As far as this goes, as another person has said, males will mount other males. Heck, hens will...

Wow, they both resemble my hen, Betty. :D It's amazing how EEs can be so different, and yet a bunch of people can have such similar birds! My Betty is also a sweetie, super calm and even lets my young niece pick her up no problem. Don't tell the others, but she's probably my favorite out of my...

She looks like my girl, Cressida! :love Well, she really looks like Cress now because Cressy's in mid-molt, too. :lol:

It seems like I haven't updated here in a while about Hika Ma, but here's the little man last Sunday, 11 weeks old:

Betty is an 'Americana' (EE , obviously) from a very local hatchery, so I don't know what her cross is. Everyone loves her. :) She has the best personality, too. :D

Their temperament seems to depend on their background. The Easter-eggers I got at the feed store are insane like that, but the ones I got from a small, local hatchery are sweet, calm, and friendly. Betty's my lap EE and is perfectly fine with being picked up and toted around, even by my 4 year...

My little EE bantam, Hika Ma, at 8 weeks old: Stretching out his wings!

My little guy, Hika Ma, at 7 weeks old (pictures are from Sunday). He's already getting pointy/shiny saddle feathers! :ep
