Easter Eggers, Which hatchery has blue egg laying?

[kathyinmo]

I recall reading somewhere that one of the hatcheries has more blue egg layers rather than green layers. A friend of mine was wondering, and I can not recall which hatchery it was.

Another question .... what do your Easter Eggers look like? I realize different hatcheries offer quite differing types. If you have a picture, could you please post it.

Thanks,
Kathy

I had an EE from Cackle that laid eggs bluer than my Ameraucanas....

Bluer or richer in color?

I believe Cackle specifically breeds more for blue/green colors. Their EE's are the typical colors like every other hatchery though. (BBR, blue-BBR, occasional white, occasional silver duckwing, etc)

No pictures though, sorry.

Much bluer.

That's it! Cackle! Yes, she is interested in the white or silver duckwing.

Thanks!

Mine, McMurray, lays very deep blue. Not green by any means. I havent heard of any in particular so

Here's Zucchini.

She's very pretty IMO.

My order from meyer was for 25, and I got 2 whites, and apricot/white and all the rest variations of the typical partridge, quail or whatever it is called some lighter, some darker. The only boy is white/black w/ red across wings and in hackle feathers. All lay blue, blue/green eggs only a few that are greener then blue/green.

I'm not very good at posting pics,however I succeeded a few wks ago and will try again. WOW!I succeeded!
Here's eggs from Cackle'ss EE's at the beginning of their cycle.Overlook the browns-different breed.

Okay now here's a few pics of the hen's at 20 mo. old.

Noteis one will hardly let me open the gate.She is quite a pest and very curious.In all they are friendly.BTW I requested at least 1-2 blues if at all possible.I think to be a big hatchery they did well.

I do have one that lays a definite green egg.That egg for some reason has the very best flavor.LOL

Rebel, what beautiful EE's you got there!

Eggciting to know Meyer's has pretty good egg color from its EE. I have a turkey order in-- I'm temped, very tempted, to add EE to the order!
