Tractor Supply Easter Eggers maybe?

[ErvinFlock]

Because EE are “mutts” I’m hoping some of you can confirm for me that these are still looking like EE and the possibility of getting colored eggs out of them.
ive read some people think their legs need to be a different color than the yellow.

Very small town TS. The store got them from a local Easter egger breeder. Breeder didn’t even have a website. I’m starting to wonder how they are looking.

All have orange/ yellow legs.
The two lightest colored ones have no tail feathers, more of a bob tail.
Is the bob tail a good sign of a specific breed?


Thanks!

Only some EE with Ameraucana have green legs. Cream Creasted Leg bar crosses do not have green legs.

So you think Tractor Supply would sell them without putting in effort to verify if the breeder has put effort into making them Easter Eggers?

As of late Tractor Supply has shown they don't care about much when it comes to their birds, so I wouldn't put it past them.

Easter Eggers can be crossed with any colored egg layer, You have to wait and see.

EEs have green/dark legs. I think these are just another type of mutt/backyard mix.

Has anyone ever had a yellow legged mix lay a green or blue egg?

Leg color is no indication of the color of eggs.... As mentioned above, EEs that are bred from Cream legbars have yellow legs, because Legbars have yellow legs.
You're going to have to wait to find out if the blue egg gene is present.

Yes. Here are some of my current layers as chicks last year. The light chick in this photo is Peaches, a prairie bluebell egger. She lays a blue egg.

This red one is Sammy, my Whiting True Green, who lays green/light olive.

And the dark chick crouched down in this photo is Saffie, a Whiting True Blue who lays the bluest eggs I get.

Alot of places also label EE's as ameraucanas, some variant spelling misleading as ameraucana, or "rainbow layers"...... or just say what it is a marketing lie or misrepresentation.

I quit a long time ago buying any of those hoping to get blue, green, or any other color eggs. Majority always ended up cream or regular brown eggs.
