Easter Egger Chicks

[IronFeather]

Easter Eggers being sort of mutts, all tend to look a bit different from each other. I like that about them. They turn out to be a surprise. They have beautiful eggs and good dispositions.

I want to see one also my Easter egger are amerIcanas too I got mine from tractor supply they are chicks

Americanas from Tractor supply are Easter Eggers, not Americaunas miss-spelled, to my disappointment. Still cute, though; I just wouldn't have bought a SECOND flock, which puts me above city ordinance.... I wouldn't have purchased them, unvaccinated for Mareks, if I'd known they too were Easter Eggers, which I already have. Really, shouldn't we all be allowed a bunch of "extras" for hawk losses and disease losses over the year(s)?...

I’m not sure I’m replying correctly! Here are my Easter Eggers, they are 4 months old!

Everyone I have four Easter egger chicks I got from tractor supplies. Im intrested how diffrent every Easter egger looks so. Everyone tell me if you have Easter Eggers and what store or hatchery did you get them from and send me a picture? Please! Well thank you if do so. I’m just intrested. Everyone post pictures of Easter Eggers chicks or full grown tell me where you got them please!

Sandy ...and Sally My EE's from Tractor Supply (labeled Americanas, adamantly told by an employee that they're strictly blue egg layers, pronounced it as Ameraucanas and thankfully I knew better because of y'all! I wasn't fooled!) They're roughly 10-11 weeks old now..? I think? Something like that maybe.

My Easter Eggers have always been very different from each other, but the things they have always had in common are the green legs, like Goldy, and puffs on the sides of their faces.

I was given 4, 6 month old roosters so of course (much to my wife's dismay) I purchased 30 chicks from Cackle hatchery. Well they always send extras so I have 37 chicks that are about 3 weeks old now ( I will try to send pictures in the next couple days). These chicks are by far the friendliest chicks I have ever had, we sit down in the coop and they come right over to eat out of our hands and several of them won't leave until we pick them up and hold them for awhile. I am hooked on EE's now!

Wow! Your Easter Eggers look so incredibly similar to my two. It's crazy how similar! My two EE are only 6 weeks old, so there are the obvious differences that come with the age gap, but your pictures really made me do a double take, as well as made me smile. They are beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I have pictures of my two that I snapped to share on the site, but I haven't been able to bring myself to post them because I worry that one or both might possibly be cockerels. My heart might just break (obvious exaggeration)! I fell in love with Easter Eggers after seeing them here so when TSC had a bin of "Ameraucana (I knew better and I'm OK with that because I love Easter Eggers) Pullets" recently, I caved in and got 2. Just a couple of weeks ago I came across some old postings here on BYC about how difficult Easter Eggers are to sex at hatch. If I understand what I read, even vent sexing Easter Eggers is really difficult. So now I fear the worst.

I have an Ameraucana that’s a very handsome rooster! I was disappointed but I thought 1 out of 19 I shouldn’t complain! My first purchase 1 of 5 was a rooster, they’re all 6 months old. Then I bought two Rhode Island reds, they’re 5 months old, next was my 2 Easter Eggers & 2 Plymouth Rocks, a month later 1 Leghorn, 1 black Astrolorp & 1 buff Orpington... all hens. I have 6 in the brooder- Plymouth Rock, Ameraucana, Wyandotte, silver & gold laced polish & blue Cochin. I hope they’re all hens.

Those look exactly like mine. Well two of the three I have. The third one is slightly different.

I had one that I bought from Meyers... She was a lovely salmon, no beard or muffs. The one I have currently looks like a bantam black ameraucana with a little reddish leakage on her neck. In reality, she's a black breasted red araucana x lavender ameraucana. She was a breeder oops.
I also have 5 araucana, two of which are double tufted.

ETA To add pics. The first is my old EE from Meyers

The second is my cross.... when she was a teeny pullet.
