Any one have easter egger eggs I can buy to hatch? Specifically olive eggers? Or maybe some that lay speckled eggs? I want to diversify my rainbow of eggs that my ladies lay.

I have some!!! I have Barred Bearded Olive Eggers. I also have an easter egger hen that lays the darkest blue (aqua) eggs I have ever seen - darker and "bluer" than most pure Ameraucanas do. Want some? PM me!!

I have lots of Easter Egger eggs you can buy! Pretty good mix too. Olive eggers in there, (the babies will be olive eggers) and a cool spotted Marans egg (all EE's/ OE's have a Wheaten Ameraucana over them).

Just PM me if interested. Thanks!

Can you post a pic of the aqua eggs? Please, oh please?

I have OEs from a Am x French Black Copper Marans - very nice, dark eggs mix and Am x Cuckoo Marans (the hen is barred, so the chicks are sexable at hatch). I also have regular EEs.

Here's some of the OE chicks that were hatched a few weeks ago. They are cute little boogers!


The one in the back and on the left is a cockerel.

Edited to add that my rooster is a Black Ameraucana.

I'll try to get a pic today. Do you have any dark eggs layers? I have Black Copper Marans - and this particlular strain are good layers, too... They lay eggs that start out very dark in the beginning of the season and lighten as it goes, so you get all different shades of rich dark brown. Here are some of my OE an BC Marans eggs for now. You can see the OE eggs color can vary and the Marans eggs are not always as dark as in the picture.

Great! My dad just told me yesterday that he found two old incubators from when he used to hatch eggs years and years ago. I am going to pick them up hopefully today and test them out to make sure they still work. I would love to hatch up some of those olive ones! And maybe some other fun ones as well. Once I make sure one works for sure I will PM for more details.

Would anyone be interested in Emu eggs? I have a friend with some and I can't incubate them right now due to my bators being full. There are 4 of them. They would have to be incubated ASAP to keep fertility high. Let me know.
