💖 The Offical Easter Egger Lover’s Thread 💖

[AmeraucanaHank]

That is a long time ...now I'm wonderin if I crossed my ee with my rhode island..would those lay at 5 months or 7 or split the difference and lay at 6

I've seen people cross leghorns and EEs which made lay earlier.

Do it! Then tell us. Will probably turn out to be an olive egger too!

I hope to hatch out some EE of my own this summer. Ameraucana over gold phoenix, silver phoenix, silver spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben and lavender orpingtons. The Ameraucana roosters are a blue and a lavender.

I have leghorn hens and leghorn/rhode island crosses. My EE roo is in bully camp for what he did to my gentleman alpha rhode island. The EE was beta. I was visiting my mom and spent the day with her and my hubby locked everyone up because he was home when it got dark. Chunk (the beta ee) bloodied my rhode islands comb and when I saw him in the morning it was frostbit because of all the blood (and 1 degree temp). I was not happy..he was cornering my alpha and taking advantage. My rhode island has a big comb and chunk has a rose comb. My rhode island never spurred or nailed the beta. Worse he did was run him around sometimes. Tomorrow I am trying pinless peepers..I need 2 roos. I have 21 hens if I include my new pullets recently added. I hate to have roast chunk..but rhode island is a sweety. Chunk has good qualities to though.. we will see...

Here are my lovelies!
My 2 layers who give me the exact same beautiful sage green color egg, same size even.

Chicken Bacon Ranch, I just call her Bacon for short. She is a little over a year old.

OhMaGosh - JJ's beard! LOVE it!
I have one lone EE hen, Summer, a 2yo red/buff bantam. She lays a lovely pale, blue-green-pink (odd colored) egg. I don't get too many eggs from her, though. She's turned out to be my best broody. When she's not setting, she's babysitting. She's a bit of a space-cadet, but she definitely earns her place in my flock!

My EEs basically have 80s themed names it started unintentionally then I just went with it. Roxette (80s band), Blondie (80s band), Chunk (think The Goonies movie)

I have 3 standard eggers,2 bantam eggers..my older pullets one is an olive egger,her legs are olive colored and she is slightly darker than the other two I got at the same time. The olive lays a beautiful deep olive colored egg,one Easter egger lays a very light blue and the other lays sort of light bluish green color..then my 2 bantam green queens are only 6 weeks old..

I saw a picture of a black EE. Is that true? Do they really come in all black?
