Easter Egger Roosters Available - Indiana (For Pickup Only)

[ACK7442]

Two out of four new chicks turned out to be roosters, leaving us with two roosters for our five hen flock. Too much! I am happy to give them away. They were purchased at TSC and are 18 weeks old. There was no label on the bin, so I contacted the hatchery that supplies TSC (Hoover's Hatchery). They advised that all 4 chicks were Easter Eggers. Per their website: Our Easter Eggers are a combination of the traditional American Easter Eggers, which typically has a pea comb, beard and green legs, along with the European version of Easter Eggers, which are called Grünleger, which typically have yellow legs, a single comb, and commonly a tuft on its head. The Grünleger are a hybrid cross between a commercial type Legbar, and brown egg laying hens, therefore unlike the American Easter Egger, they will not breed true, with only a portion of the offspring laying colored eggs. Overall, the Easter Eggers typically lay colored eggs, but up to 15% of the time you will have one that lays brown or cream eggs. APPROX. 240 MEDIUM EGGS/YR|EGG COLOR: COLORED|MATURE WT: 4-6LBS.|SINGLE OR PEA COMB.
