cool your chickens are so pretty

Thank you. I mix up my own feed for them, I think thats why they are so pretty. I do pellets, black sunflower seeds, oatmeal, meal worms, oyster shells, grit, and scratch. Mix it all together and they get that everyday! I also give them lots of table scraps ( veggies and fruit ) they also walk freely in my backyard and eat lots of bugs!

Why are they called Easter eggers

Why are they called Easter eggers

Because the egg-laying genetics are unknown/unpredictable. You can get a bunch of them from the same place, and still have a rainbow of possibilities. They can have the potential to lay blue, green, brown, pink, cream, or white and there really isn't any way to tell which color a pullet will lay until she actually starts laying.

Thank you. If I wanted to purchase some is that what I would call them? "Easter eggers"

I think that's what they are widely known as. I just bought mine as araucana crosses (hybrids), I didn't know they were "easter eggers" until after I got them.
