Hello, so I am looking for some input from some Easter Egger pros. I have 1 EE hen, she is pure white with Green legs and lays a bluish green egg. I had another hen go broody (BLRW) and I let her sit on some eggs. Little did I know Snowy (my EE) was sitting next to Dorothy (BLRW) laying another egg and Dorothy was stealing them. Anywho I now have 2 EE x GLW chicks that have hatched and probably another 3 that will hatch by Sunday. I am 99% sure the daddy is my GLW roo has he is the dominant of the 2 Roos. My other roo is a BLRW. I had no intentions of breeding anyone right now and actually have separate breeding pens for the spring for my GLW trio and my BRLW trio but right now they’re all together. Anyone have any ideas of what an EE x GLW will look like grown up? Or is it an crapshoot? So far 1 chick is dark in color and the other is more yellowish. I’ll try to get some pics of the babies later

Lovely pics! Gosh id love to see a BLRW x EE cross. Its definitely going to look unique I'd think!

Hello EE fans. We recently added a new EE to our flock and she laid her first egg a week ago!

Here are my other hen's eggs for size and colour comparison
Left to right: Rhode Island Red, Leghorn, EE (Marans x Araucana), Araucana and my new EE (Australorpe x Araucana)

Our oldest easter egger laid her first egg today! Now I am so excited for our three little ones (will be spring layers) to lay some similar colors... or maybe something greener, or pink! EEK!

Beautiful egg, and a lovely colour. You've displayed it to perfection (I'm taking notes )
