Not sure if this is in the right thread but, just wanted to see some before and after pictures of Easter Eggers just to see the variety for future reference and just to see pretty Easter eggers ☺️ I'll post my 2 girls just for the heck of it sadly they all looked about the same, I'd love to see their eggs too!
1-3 is Hawk Eye she's 4 months so no eggs yet
4-6 is Maybelline and her eggs she's a year and a half

It all really depends on what went into the mix. Most hatchery EEs are Ameraucana mixed with... well, anything really. Some hatcheries and breeders are mixing Legbars with anything and getting the same results (egg wise) just with a crest instead of muffs and beard.
Here's my two EE. The first, Bunny, is a hatchery EE. The second, Tex, is a breeder accident: black breasted red arucana over a lavender ameraucana. Tex just started laying, but I don't have any pics of her eggs. They are a shade or three more blue than Bunny's. As you can see, Bunny is clean faced (no muffs or beard) and has the classic EE green legs. Tex has full muffs and beard, but with her parentage, has slate legs.

Pretty sure hatchery EEs are simply Easter Egger X Easter Egger (Cackle's breeding flock video reveals lovely, colorful birds :love). :) If AMs were crossed with any possible breed, EE appearances would vary even more greatly (crests, feathered legs, funky comb types, ect.).

Stunning birds, both of you! :love Isn't is amazing how much they change? :eek: I've raised too many to share them all, but here are my current favorites:
