Wanting to buy some EE's

[The Red Rooster]

Hey EE owners!!

I'm thinking about getting some EE's. I would really like to know more about them!

I'm also bouncing off the walls with excitement!

Where can I get some EE's? Can I order them from the internet or maybe some one is selling them?

And also, post LOTS of pictures!!

Thank you!

you will find them sold in feed stores called Amerecaunas, but if they are from a hatchery, they are EE's- they are very friendly, i have an EE roo and half the flock is EE, i started out with a mixed flock and have been so impressed with their personality, i am slowly getting more of them

Easter Egger chickens are cross-bred birds originating from a blue egg layer. Your stereotypical EE is pea combed, bearded, and green legged. They are known for laying olive, blue, or brown eggs. Often times they are very good layers and overall sweet birds

Yes, I know they are sweet! I had an EE a long time ago that would follow me everywhere! And she loved to cuddle!

Is there a hatchery that has EE's in stock?

I had an EE but sadly had to give her away. She would bully my BO anytime there were treats around. But that was my only compliant about her. She was friendly in that she would eat out of my hand but did not like to be picked up or held. She was a bit on the skiddish side. But she was a PRODUCER. We got a green egg from her 13 out of 14 days. And they were beautiful eggs.

Would love to have another one for the eggs. But since I can only have four hens, I'm more drawn to the docile, affectionate types like the Orpingtons, who like to be held.
