Hi I am new to this forum. I was looking on google for an answer to a question and found the forum. I raise chickens as part of my farm (I raise nubian and nubian/boer cross goats) and to sell eggs. I like to have lots of different breeds around so that the egg cartons are colorful when filled with eggs. I just got 20 hen chicks and an excited to see what they look like when they are grown. Always have a few banties running around too just for more fun. My question: when I was on craigslist someone had a listing for EE roosters I was wondering what the EE stood for? thanks

Easter Egger Blue, Green & Pink Eggs. Not a true Araucana or Ameracauna(sp?)

Sorry..... WELCOME TO BYC!!

 

[beth_e_s]

thank you. my ameracauna's are my favorite regular sized hens. this years hens are producing more blue eggs than green ones like last years hens. I have yet to get a pink one, unless they look more like pale brown eggs and I am mistaking them for light brown eggs.

Yes, it's easy to mistake pink for light brown. I always have a dozen or so EE's running around. Mine lay only blue & green though.

Easter Egger's are pretty cool.
