Where did you get yours?

I would like to buy some Easter Eggers next spring. I was not happy with the last batch I got mail order and there is really nobody local that I know to buy from.

Can anyone suggest the best place to get some blue/green egg layers?

I hatch mine in an incubator

Keep an eye on the forums here, there's a section where you can purchase day old chicks. I see a lot of EE's there.

Plenty of EE's here.

Contact halo and hatch your own. She has wonderful EEs, some are 1/2 true Ameraucana and lay beautiful blue eggs. I have one from her, sold or gave the others to friends, but had a pullet-heavy hatch to boot. They are lovely birds.

Not sure where you are located, but she is near Ocala, Florida if you're close enough to pick some up.

I am in Texas. I used to have some full Americaunas at our old house that weren't very friendly but they had beautiful green eggs. I would love some blue layers. In the spring I will keep an eye buy/sell/trade! Thanks for that information. I don't have and incubator to hatch my own

Ameraucanas should lay only blue eggs, never green. Are you sure they were Ameraucanas? Mine are much friendlier than any of my EEs have been. I have blue, black and splash.


You really should hatch eggs for yourself. There's nothing like it! And sometimes, it's the only way to get what you really want.

I might've meant Aracaunas if those are the funny looking ones that come from Mexico and I guess the color could be called blue, but I always called them green...like a teal kind of color. I also call my light brown eggs pink, so I probably don't use the correct terminology. They came from a lady who sold them to ag kids to show, so I was told they were full but who knows. They weren't nearly as friendly as the little production reds I had at the time who would roost on my shoulder and acted like lap chickens, though. I just liked the colored eggs.

I don't have an incubator to hatch my own. I am not entirely sure I have the patience to not ruin the hatch and would feel horrible if I killed them all because I couldn't leave them alone! Maybe someday, when I learn some self-control.

I just don't know many people around here who have chickens to see what I would be getting. I would like to find a reliable source.
