I love my Easter Eggers too! It doesn't matter to me that they are a mixed breed. I also have red sex links and Amber whites which are also mixed.
We started with two EE chicks. We named them Chela and Loca Loca Loca. They were very flighty and hard to handle when we got them. Chela means "beer" in Mexico; we joked that he needed a beer to mellow out, so the name stuck. Below is a pic of them at 4 weeks. Chela ended up being too aggressive to keep with our other cockerel, so we had to rehome him. Loca is now 13 weeks old and is by far the most beautiful bird we have. She has also calmed down a lot and is on longer the crazy girl. Pic of her is at 10 weeks. I need to get some more recent photos.
We also picked up another EE and an olive egger. The EE is a cockerel that is half Ameraucana and half Cream Legbar. He's a little high strung, but he's going to be a stunning rooster. The OE is an Ameraucanca x Black copper Marans. Can't wait to see her eggs! Unfortunately she came to us with a leg injury and her growth was stunted,but she's trying to catch up now.
