Should I get more than one EE?

[urbanfarmette]

I am probably going to order from mypetchicken.com and I want to get an EE for some cool colored eggs. Those that have them, should I get more than one of that kind? Did you wish you had more colorful eggs or does it not matter to you after a while... I would get several "gentle" breeds and probably have a total of 5 hens.

My EE is our absolute sweetest girl. That said, I'm ordering from mpc this spring also, and ordered other breeds just because it's so interesting to have a variety. If you have room for another EE, though, by all means go for it - they are wonderful!

I would get more than one too. I have two myself.

Everyone of mine is a different color and has a different colored egg.

I've had 5 easter eggers since 2007. I currently have 2 though. one lays a dark green almost olive egg and the other lays a very light mint green (almost white). The other 3 I had before had green eggs and pink eggs. I absolutely love easter eggers! They are very sweet natured and friendly. plus they come in all different colors and so do the eggs!

How can you NOT have more than one EE?
Ok, how can you not have more than one of ANY chicken??

Get a few. We have 5, and love them. All different colors, and great personalities. We get eggs ranging from green, to blue-green, to light brown.
