What breed?

[Cindilong]

Well EEs often also have pea combs. But if not, and you don't know the egg color, no, you can't tell them apart. Fortunately it's not a distinction that real matters.

It only matters to me bc I'm trying to figure out if tractor supply charged me the right price! Lol. And it's interesting Thank you!

I thought of another question. If I see a bin of Easter Eggers and a bin of Barnyard mix for sale at the feed store, there's absolutely no reason to pay extra for Easter Eggers?

Wait, I think I get it, if they really are Easter Eggers as opposed to just mixed breeds, then I should be getting greenish or bluish or pinkish eggs, whereas if I buy just the mixed breed, I might get white or brown eggs. Right?

Only if the barnyard mixes have blue egg genetics in their heritage.

Yes. EEs lay colored eggs.
