Easter egger x ??

[Angeles]

I was looking around on websites at different types of Easter egger hens since they aren’t really classed as their own ‘breed’ but more of a mutt chicken, and I was wondering what type my two were? I can’t find any types that look close to my two girls and I was wondering if anyone knew.

Sorry I won’t be much help but I just wanted to say, mutt or not they are stunners

Thank you, they are a very naughty pair, they're always jumping the fence out of the hen yard and hopping on tables... one of our other hens decided it was smart to hop up onto the roof of the house!

Your Easter Eggers are Legbar crosses. Hence the crest and single comb.

Agree with Brahma5000. It's pretty clear that on bird #1 a black copper Marans was the father and a cream legbar was the mother. A CL was the mother on #2 as well, and the father was probably a splash Marans. Nice looking birds.

What the others said. Which would technically also make your first girl an Olive Egger, correct? They're stunning!

Yours look more like "Olive Eggers." The first one looks like a (Crested Cream) Legbar crossed with Black Copper Marans, and the second one looks like the Legbar crossed with a Blue Splash Marans. They are absolutely beautiful! Are you getting green eggs yet?

Thank you for your help! We have a big group of girls that are beginning to lay so we can’t really tell who’s laying and who’s not, but so far no green eggs yet
