Easter Egger club!

Thanks! I wonder how hatcheries determine what to cross to get their EEs? I'm so tempted to call and ask them just out of curiosity, but the debate over Ameraucana vs. Easter Egger is so contentious I don't think they'd tell me lol !

I thought I had two Ameruacana hens but it turns out they are Easter Eggers. I have one that I bought as an Easter egger. Last year my darker shaded colored Easter Eggers where laying pale green eggs. Now I found a pale blue egg. Do Easter Eggers -- the same hen -- lay different colored eggs? I am a little confused.

I have a few who's eggs vary a little season to season, but nothing major.

I have 2 EEs. The bearded one, Bocktoven, is smaller and lays larger minty green eggs. The other non-bearded one, Chickovsky, is larger and usually lays smaller light olive eggs. The other day, she laid her 2nd supersized egg! I'm thinking it's a double yolker because her first supersized egg was a double.

Thank goodness for this group!! I was starting to feel like a deviant for loving my EE chicks! I have some 'true' Ameraucanas, but I'm not going to bother about it anymore, because I am keen on the rainbow eggs. And how many different colors of chickens!? EEs are the coolest!

Another EE pullet started laying today!


The two blue eggs (look green in the picture) are from the two new pullets. The olive egg is from one of my older hens.
