Easter Egger club!

In the spring, I am going to hatch some eggs. Would the chicks end up being an olive egger or an EE? The hens are red sex links and the roo is an EE. Also there is a RIR that is a hen and it would be with an EE roo. Would that make the chicks olive eggers?

They should produce a light olive egg, kinda a dark mint. To get the dark olive color you need a maran type layer.

All three of my Easter Eggers have yellow/milky discharge. I could only get pictures of two of them. Other than the discharge they appear healthy. Even laying like normal. What could this be?

Can chickens get yeast infections? Could it be diarrhea? I don't know anything but maybe it'll give you a direction to research in.

Has it been more hot than normal? They could be drinking more water, which will make their poop runnier.
To be safe, you might want to head to a vet for a fecal exam.

Congrats!!, I have ordered from Ideal twice this year and have been for the most part happy with them. However, while they all were VERY healthy, and the customer service is very good, they I think sent me the wrong color on two of my chicks. So just watch out. But they were disease free, and healthy. Plus very good shipping and no DOA so I'm still very happy with Ideal!!

Quote: I like Ideal too even though I've never gotten EE's from them I have gotten other breed. We only had one chick that ended up dying. (that was a tiny silkie)
The shipping is really cheap too.

I have a handsome Wheaten Ameraucana Bantam roo. His girls are not mature yet, so he practiced wooing my little Mille Fleur d'Uccle. Two offspring hatched so far. Has anyone ever had a cross like that?

I am hoping for the best of both worlds EE - a feather footed, calico, colored egg layer that can be sexed fairly young. Just for fun!!

They have access to plenty of water, with electrolytes...but it has been a little hotter than normal. No one appears ill, and the residue on their feathers doesn't appear to be getting any worse. Could have been a bout of diarrhea that just went unnoticed until yesterday. Will get some apple cider vinegar for their water & bathe everyone with epsom salt to clean 'em off. Hope all is well...at least, it appears to be.
