Easter egger before and after

[Frazzemrat1]

Pretty sure hatchery EEs are simply Easter Egger X Easter Egger (Cackle's breeding flock video reveals lovely, colorful birds ).

Completely agree with you there!!
I know that MPC, under their hatching eggs, has legbar mixes too.... they have a ton of differently bred EEs for different colors of eggs and color chickens.

Lakeshore Eggers included, correct? Beautiful birds. I suppose what went into the mix depends entirely on which "type" of EE one buys.

Does MPC sell Lakeshores? Idk... But I want some of this group... because obviously I'm not concerned with breeding. LOL I just want a pretty egg basket, and I love the ability to look up and know if everybody is there at a glance w/out having to count.

MPC sells a lot of Easter eggers under fancy names and prices them ridiculously high lol. Never heard of Lakeshores...

Oops, Lakeshores might just be a Meyer hybrid. Who doesn't love colorful egg baskets and interesting birds?

That incredible selection made my head spin!

Pretty sure hatchery EEs are simply Easter Egger X Easter Egger (Cackle's breeding flock video reveals lovely, colorful birds ). 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! Isn't is amazing how much they change? I've raised too many to share them all, but here are my current favorites:

She has yet to lay.....any guesses on egg color?

Marble is BEAUTIFUL! I want a rooster so bad, but they aren't allowed in my area...

Me too... I want it... but I can't do it yet. Or my hubby may consider culling the herd. LOL

I don't have really good pictures, but here's my EE Savannah. She's now white with some gold, grey, and even a little blue.
