Which Hatchery for Easter Eggers?

I'm a brand new chicken mom, but got 4 EEs from Cackle back in September. Ended up with 2 pullets, 2 cockerels. The pullets are really friendly and curious. All have muffs, and I love the various colors!

I ordered from Mt Healthy Hatchery which is logistically the closest hatchery to where I am. That would be my suggestion. With all of the shipping delays that are going on, I would choose a hatchery close to where you live. These are some pics of my girls and the egg colors I am getting. I have 6 EE’s in my flock. 90D5AE6F-4100-4AF0-92FC-534CAD560747.jpeg

These are the shades I’m getting so far. One of them hasn’t started laying yet. I think it’s the lighter brown one that isn’t.

The only negative thing I have to say is that one has a deformed beak. They do mention on their website that their EEs have a higher chance of having crossbeak then other chicken breeds. Not sure if that’s something that is due to their breeding stock or if that’s true of all EEs🤷🏻‍♀️
