Lakeshore Eggers?

[ChickNanny13]

Following to learn more what you all think about the Lakeshore Eggers. I'm in Hawaii, shippings a killer so what to know/learn all I can about the breed.

We got 3 lakeshore eggers this spring. They've been laying for a month now. Two are laying olive green eggs and I'm not positive what the other is laying, possibly a light tan. They were all hens and we have a red one, a cream one with a legbar crest and a dark barred one. We love the variety. They are very friendly and great with little kids and in a mixed flock. We got them a month after leghorn chicks and the quickly outgrew them, so they mature quickly. They are on the heavier side, but did great in the Arizona summer with misters and shade. We will definitely be getting more when they become available.

Interested in getting a few but trying to learn more from those that have them....
Personality, weather tolerance and variety in colors ... I can't have Roos & the idea of having a variety in colors of a single "breed" is a plus. I'm one of those that prefer a single breed flock vs a multi breed

Interesting but I can't really see the difference here these Lakeshore Eggers and Easter Eggers. I do like the idea of the multi color eggs.

This thread is old, but I'm wondering what developed from the breeding that was planned. What color eggs from the mama and what color from the offspring? And what do the birds look like?

Any update on the LakeShore Eggers?

I just preordered one to arrive in March. If she survives and starts laying I will update with my results!

I have one Lakeshore Egger from Meyer from May 6th 2019 hatch date, she is very friendly and very inquisitive and has a cute quirky look that I love.
She started to lay on August 29th ( the first of 8 girls from that order) and laid very consistently until November 11th when she had a light molt and started up laying again on Jan 5th.
I don’t have a good recent pic of her on this phone but this one is from about 14 weeks old, her color is slightly darker now with a cute tufted head and lays an olive colored egg, one of my favorite girls.
Her egg is the top left one.
